Monday -
I spent the day doing inventory at BookCourt. This involved checking the shelves of the mystery section against an unwieldy printout. It took over five hours of steady work.
"Inventory is a thankless task," commented one of my coworkers. Not entirely the case. I did get a glimpse at the number of subcultures represented in mystery novels. There are knitter's mysteries, "unapologetic lesbian" mysteries, people who wish Jane Austen had been a detective mysteries. There are even catering mysteries, with titles like, The Main Corpse and The Cereal Murders.
"From the bestselling author of Sitcks and Scones - , " one book said.
"Shut your stupid face," I said.
