WTF Wednesday




Hey, at least they're honest.

WTF Wednesdays are the brain child of The Book Resort!

WTF Wednesday



After being out of the country (and away from the all-mighty internet) for a few days, A Reader's Respite opened our feed reader to find the following posts about one particular, shall-remain-nameless, book:


  • 37 glowing reviews of the same novel, which shall remain nameless here;
  • 4 Guest Posts from author of said nameless novel;
  • 25 Giveaways and/or contests surrounding said nameless novel;
  • and a partridge in a pear tree.


While we applaud this author's masterful manipulation use of the internet for publicity, A Reader's Respite is still scratching our head.  We couldn't make it beyond page 50 of said-nameless-book.  Clearly, our ability to recognize a good book has been somehow compromised and we're seriously considering throwing in the towel on this book review thing.

Or, we could just laugh and say WTF.....






WTF Wednesday (on a Thursday)



We're slightly disturbed that a billboard is required to get this information across.

WTF Wednesday


Found over in the archives of The Inkwell Bookstore, where in light of the recent trend of designing classic books with more risque covers to appeal to a broader market, they asked their readers to submit some ideas of their own.

Head on over to see the results and have a good chuckle.....







Oh, and did we mention that WTF Wednesday is the brain-child of The Book Resort?

Today's WTF Wednesday is all about impediments to reading. A Reader's Respite has discovered a few important barriers to reading a good book this morning.....


#1. Die-cast toy cars shoved down a toilet causing it to clog and overflow all over the bathroom. If you don't have small children this one shouldn't be a problem for you. If you do have small children, we would suggest locking them out of all bathrooms until they are 15.

do NOT allow anyone to give your child these satan-inspired pieces of metal they mislabel "toys"

oh sure, it looks clean now, but an hour ago this room looked like Armageddon struck

#2. Broom heads that insidiously unwind themselves as you're sweeping until they fall off into your nice little dirt pile, scattering it everywhere and causing you to start all over from scratch.

piece of cr*p



Our answer to this problem?


also works well on children if you don't mind fielding a few questions from Child Protective Services


#3. Laundry. Seriously, what goes on around this joint? Are people changing outfits 3 times each day just for kicks?

dirty clothes breed when you're not looking

All A Reader's Respite wanted to do today is curl up with a good book. WTF?

Book chosen for the GoodReads European Royalty Group's read for the month of July.

I'll let you ponder that for a while.

Geez, everyone I know participates in a weekly meme. A Reader's Respite just hadn't found one that fits us until now.
