I have known the manager of our local bookstore, Little Professor, for some time now. *waves* Hi Sarah!! A while ago, she asked me if I would want to do a “Smexy Recommends” display at her store. I thought it was a great idea! So I came up with twelve of my favorite books/series and wrote up little summaries about each one. We decided we needed a giveaway. So we stuffed a gift basket full of – An Edward Cullen action figure (hello!! I have one – and everyone else must have one too), copies of Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill and Dark Slayer by Christine Feehan, a journal, lipstick from Sephora, and a gift certificate to the liquor store – let’s face it – one of my favorite places to visit. Smexy is a lush. Anyway, back on track – we have a drawing and will randomly select someone in the near future to win all the goodies.
I know – the pink is so…last week ;)
Wow, that is so cool Mandi! I'd love to be near that bookstore and get my regular Smexy recs :) It looks great.
This is so great! I bet it was a lot of fun to do!
Great Mandi! I wish we have bookstores like that over here where we can just buy the novels we want to read instead of the so-called intellectual ones!
What a great idea! And what an excellent list!
Thanks! It was fun! You know I like to pimp books :)
Wow that's so cool! Looks fab!
That's awesome! Congrats!
Oh My God! So cool!!!!!! You're famous! :)
That is so cool :D
You keep pimping those great books, we all need a bit of smexy in our reads
Ohhh smexy pink recommendations. That is very cute!
That is…WAY COOL!!!!! OMG, love it!!
You Go Girl!!! That so freaking rocks! I am very proud of you! The world needs to know about the Smexy of books! I think that is great! I wish there was a local bookstore in my area… =( But I would wish Smexy was there too!!
Honey, I am very proud of you and excited to see you in the book world!!! We all know… you know Smexy!!!!
After seeing this… the week can only get better!!! Awesome!!!
Very cool!
Mandi, That is soooo cool. Looks great! Congrats!
This is so cool Mandi!
*waves back*Hi Mandi!Thank you for all the time you put into the display.I'm happy to spread the smexy.
You're takin' pimpin' to a whole new level! Sweet! :)
That's terrific Mandi! Love your display and there's never enough pink (yes I know my blog is black and blue but still)!
This is so awesome! And very smexy too ;)
That so cool, the basket of goodies looks great too. I have an Edward action figure too. ;)
Cool idea but pink will never ever get old. Ha!
That is so cool! Congratulations!! I wish my bookstore did something like that :)
Thanks for all the lovely comments:)
very very cool.
Congrats! That is awesome. Are you seeing a bump in traffic from it, do you think?
I don't really think so..LOL. My hometown doesn't love me *cries*
I had fun doing it though! :)
Oh, I love it! I wish your bookstore was by me :). That is just too fun!
OMG that is so cool! You're lucky to have such a great bookstore in your city =)
i think this is a fabulous idea.
ps: i love your recommendations…proof? i just ordered Goddess of the Hunt after reading your review ;)
Love all your recommendations (except for 'house of night' PC Cast – lol – under duress, huh?). Yay for your JR Ward, Melissa Marr & Patricia Briggs shout-out!
The display turned out fabulous! Tell Sarah I gave her props!!!
Neat idea Mandi and at least it gets you out of the house doing what you love best…
Fun photos as well…
your mom deserve a medal…

How awesome to have a relationship with a bookstore like that! *tamping down my green eyed monster* I'm just a tad too far away to come visit, and I usually go to the huge bookstores here in DC where I never see the same customer service person twice. Kramer Books is the only small-ish one near me and they don't sell enough romance for me to go there often.
But what a fabulous display you made and such a great way to recommend to other book buyers, just such a cool community feel to it!
Ehe display looks great. Don't know what to do with the extra "cowboy" fabric though!
You have more fabric, mom? Make me a kindle cover! :)
I have PLENTY of that fabric if Cuzzin Mom runs out;) I'm holding on to it just for you Smex;) I'm thinking a big old pot holder for when you're baking Christmas cookies.
Very cool what the bookstore did, nice.
hehe – pot holder. I could get a toaster and coffee pot cover too! And curtains! My kitchen could be gay cowboy man-titty themed! Husband would love it ;)
Hi Mandi :)
That is an amazing display!
Thank you for sharing.
Love & Best Wishes to you & yours.

I love it! That's awesome you could do something as fun as creating a display of your favorite reads. Go Smexy Books!!
This is like a total Carrie Bradshaw Sex and The City moment. You've made it! What a great idea! Can I say, I'm still a fan of the pink, I just can't let it go
How cool, Mandi! That's awesome. :)
Little Professor had a great idea! In most of the box stores I go to the Recommend Reads section does not carry over into Romance and definitely not Paranormal Romance.
That is true – I need to open my own store – Romance would be very prevalent!! :)
How very cool is that! You're practically famous.
I love the display. :)
