I put off reading it for months after finding it at a thrift store because the title was off putting. In the end though, the story was enjoyable and so in the midst of reading it, I commented to myself, "This book needed a better title." Of course, the title is explained within the plot but still. tjbwaldringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432405211116904031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-76991640644422187212016-09-11T08:09:13.944-07:002016-09-11T08:09:13.944-07:00Or "Sausage Girl"Or "Sausage Girl"Keirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802633046486840052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-90020410936655957442016-09-11T05:15:56.431-07:002016-09-11T05:15:56.431-07:00She's "The Girl with the Sausages".She's "The Girl with the Sausages".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-52029141317652785152016-09-08T07:56:00.584-07:002016-09-08T07:56:00.584-07:00I just ordered "The Duck Shack Agreement"...I just ordered "The Duck Shack Agreement".

And if the agreement isn't ominous why is it termed "a simple arrangement between two consenting adults", which sounds pretty ominous in conjunction with the term 'duck shack' and the possibility that one of those adults is the gentleman on the cover, whose mustache cannot be forgiven even under the "the 80s dark days... dark days" exemption, as even in the 80s surely such facial appendages were worn only by gentlemen participating in the sort of film that should only be viewed by very, very consenting adults and arguably not by them either <i>if</i> you know what I am saying. Honestly.<br /><br />BTW, Betty Keira, I shan't sleep well until you track down this volume and clue me in as to what a Duck Shack Agreement actually is. Also, please, what is the video clip in this post?<br /><br />As to TGB, 'Amazon in an Apron' never thrilled me as a title. But I'm also not a fan of the very literalist titles like 'Nurse Harriet Goes to Holland' or, sadly, 'Nurse in Holland.' I love 'Sister Peters in Amsterdam', though. Hmm. Quixotic.<br /><br />-Betty van den BetsyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-78091334178759211132016-09-07T11:35:11.693-07:002016-09-07T11:35:11.693-07:00Two titles that have always slightly bothered me a...Two titles that have always slightly bothered me are "An Independent Woman" (the story is fine but I would not particularly say that the title goes along with the theme) and "Pineapple Girl" (which is a fantastic title that had not quite enough to do with the book. I wish TGB had worked in pineapples a wee bit more). More often in The Canon, I would find that wonderful books were given bland titles that weren't memorable at all.Keirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802633046486840052noreply@blogger.com
