I was at the library today. I got The Time traveler's Wife, thank you very much. And also Shopaholic & Baby but that's beside the point. It's high time I read it and I'd be having some 8 hours to kill on the bus on Monday, so.
Then this chick comes in and whispers conspiratorially to the librarian: Do you have Twilight?
And I SNORT. LOUDLY.
Which is totally hypocritical of me given that I was listening to the New Moon at that very moment through my headphones, but I can live with my hypocrisy. Not like they could tell, right?
And the librarian says: It's at the children's section.
I grin, because the chick is so obviously embarrassed she has to ask the librarian to repeat it, like, if she asks about it for three or for times, the book will magically appear here. Then, as if that wasn't enough, she continues with: The one about vampires and... And she waves her hand around in a vague gesture, probably deciding bringing up the sparkling part is not the best way to regain the little dignity she has left.
Yes, the librarian says. The trilogy.
And then... then I kick myself off my high horse by saying: Quadrilogy.
