Books and Men in gauze

I went to Walmart and took a detour into the book section and came out with two books (I thought that was pretty good- only 2 instead of a dozen this time).

I bought "The Tycoon's Secret Affair" by Maya Banks. This is book one in a trilogy - I read the 2nd book "The Tycoon's Rebel Bride" back in June and really liked it so I want to read the first and last books. Barnes and Noble price $4.75, Walmart price $3.54.

Back blurb: "She hadn't known she'd slept with the boss. But the next morning Jewel Henley learned the exotic stranger who'd swept her off her feet was her new employer, Piers Anetakis. And before she could explain, Jewel found herself without a job…and pregnant.
After five months Piers had finally tracked down his one-night lover. Determined to explain the mistakes that had been made, he was confronted with an undeniable truth. Jewel was carrying his child. His Greek honor demanded they marry. Yet was there more between them than lust…and was it enough to make their marriage of convenience last?"

I also bought another YA book (to fulfill my promise to myself to read more YA this year). This book "City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare has been catching my eye for a while now, so I decided to give it a try. By the way, Barnes and Noble is selling 'City of Bones' for $9.99 and I got it from Walmart for $7.57.

Back Blurb: "When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder -- much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing -- not even a smear of blood -- to show that a boy has died. Or was he a boy?
This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in ordinary mundanes like Clary and her mother? And how did Clary suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know. . ."

My teen is already hovering asking me "Are you done with that YET?" - I'm only on the 3rd chapter! I have to literally HIDE the book when I put it down because I know she will take off with it like she did my "Gone" book by Michael Grant (good one by the way).

I had no idea that men were so into gauze this summer! Why wasn't this mentioned on the Project Runway when that designer sent his female model down the runway in sheer gauze? No one mentioned men wearing gauze...wet gauze that is.

Behold...the seduction of men in gauze...

Who knew gauze could look so good?
