Whatโ€™s more fun that taking the kids for a leisurely day at the bookstore?
Thatโ€™s what I was thinking when I went to Books-a-Million in Spring Hill, Tennessee โ€” a great store, and Iโ€™m not just saying that because theyโ€™ve helped me hold nice book signing events (for this, this, and this). We arrived in the wonderful brick-and-mortar store, ready for a day of walking down aisles and finding new reads. However, I came across something pretty shocking.
Someone had pulled a prank.
There, right next to the nice Civil War section (this is Tennessee, after all) is apparently a โ€œsexualityโ€ section, showing various sexual positions in plain view. And when I showing, I mean showing.
One book promised to make this the most erotic year of your life with 365 sexual positions โ€” one of which was shown in plain, naked view on its cover. Another was about the art of erotic massage, and had a naked womanโ€™s torso with a manโ€™s hand โ€” barely โ€” covering her. (And no, Iโ€™m not being a prude. Iโ€™ve blocked out the image of the book shelf above, but here are two of the images in case you are wondering what kids walk by in Books-a-Million stores all across the nation: here and here.)
