My mom came up and gave me some books. That is nothing new. She does this every time she visits me. This time she gave mostly Harlequins/Silhouette. And of those they are old school. OK from the late eighties and nineties. At first I thought they were the books that I read when I was in my twenties. I looked again and they are mostly from the local used bookstore. The covers are the best part. And the sad thing is out of all the books that I got, I cannot use any for the Harlequin/Silhouette Challenge. Here are a select few. The covers below go from 1979-1997.
Even though this one is not a Harlequin/Silhouette. It still is a romance. Look at that cover. Talk about racy. This cover was printed in 1992. I think some of the covers of today are much tamer. Even the erotica covers seem a little tame then this one. I just love it. This is my favorite cover of all the books that I got from my mom. All I can think of when I see this cover is Ride 'em Cowboy. Is that bad or what?If you want to see the rest of the books that I got, you can visit my shelf on Shelfari, Pabast Shelf Once you get there, click on own and you can see the books.
Happy Reading

I love the covers and I have many of these books in my basement. I should go down and check them out.
Enjoy!
The covers are too funny -- we've come along way in cover art!
HA HA HA!
Those were classic!
Yvonne-I think that would be fun to explore all the old books that you have in your basement.
Beth F-Thank goodness. I think the covers of today are better, well some are.
Tena-Yes, they are. You gotta love the classics.
My library has a ton of these in the paperback swap lol. Not sure if it's because they're old or because they look old but they never do seem to leave!
