I cannot explain the occurrence, since religion was rather a non-topic in my household and neither of my parents would be interested in reading such a book. To this day I have no idea whose book it was and why the heck it showed up on the kitchen table the one and only time I invited my very sweet, accepting born-again Christian friend over!Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855159812368520416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-87165055453794776592012-04-16T08:31:31.181-07:002012-04-16T08:31:31.181-07:00Haha :) This is great!

Considering most of my books so far have come from my former high school english teacher and my parents at Christmas, I don't have too many alarming ones. Yet.

I have weird books anyway, because I'll read almost anything, but also enough books by and about serial killers to make anyone think twice about hanging out with me. Especially since they are housed right next to my collection of books on the history of stigmata and claims of immaculate conception (don't ask).<br /><br />I had a HUGE baby name book for a long time, but someone made off with it and I never got it back. Thank goodness for the Internet... I now use the official Census site to name my characters.<br /><br />As to the ex-wife seeing your, ah... intimates... one can only hope she has a sense of humor!Alexa Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09980266579954005906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-50038089006565122972012-04-16T07:57:27.431-07:002012-04-16T07:57:27.431-07:00Picturing housemates fight to be Best Man. lol.

I haven't thought about what other people might think because those books already creep *me* out a little.<br /><br />And I loved Offbeat Bride -- it's a fun book. I also spent quite a lot of time on the Offbeat Bride website when I was planning my bizarre hippie wedding. (A skunk and predatory birds were in attendance, we got married in a planetarium, etc...). Is your character going to be an "offbeat" wedding planner?? I hope so!Laura Maylenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058744860709615256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-6953224596315168302012-04-16T07:11:23.061-07:002012-04-16T07:11:23.061-07:00I just did a blog post on this, and YES there are ...I just did a blog post on this, and YES there are a few! (http://smilefeelgood.blogspot.com/2012/03/in-name-of-research.html, if you are so inclined...) one is called DATING SUCKS and the other is called THE SCRIPT: Things Men Do When They Cheat.
