How purple is your prose?

Purple prose is bad. Really bad. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun to mock. Warning: this blog contains foul language, adult situations and a whiny bitch.

Forgotten Treasures

Yesterday, I went book shopping. This isn't unusual because it seems like that is all I do anymore. You would think that since I get tons of books free now, I wouldn't need to, but no it's an addiction.
Anyway, I'm looking for the holy grail of Crusie's when I stumble across Jennifer Greene's "Wild in..." series. I cannot tell you how much I fucking love these books. Especially Camille's story. Greene has a way of making a tragic story (C.'s husband was killed in front of her -- beaten to death) have the perfect ending. Nope, C doesn't just come home, fall in love and move on; she comes home, alienates everyone, swears too much, then falls in love -- kicking and screaming the whole time. I'm about to check out one of Greene's older novels "Love Potion" which is about a doctor who thinks the heroine's a hillbilly witch -- at least according to the blurb... I know better than to trust that, though. This just may be another great story -- I'll let you know.
