I was not nearly as talkative as I wanted to be

the book I brought to the wrapped-book exchange was Michelle Obama's Becoming and its recipient is very happy; I also did not try to hide what it is very well, I wrote "memoir of a First Lady" on the paper wrapping

the book I picked up from the wrapped-book exchange, the typed bit taped to the brown paper read
Paris. A family with a heritage of witchcraft. A dark secret. A mysterious and alluring benefactor. Sensuous prose. Find a suitable bistro, sip a café au lait, and settle in for a journey to romance.
which when I showed this to [personal profile] azurelunatic and [personal profile] silveradept I said "subtle as hell, aren't I?" and they both agreed

it's The Witch of Painted Sorrows by M. J. Rose (tweet with photos; the inside-the-jacket text is rather longer than the Amazon blurb; in her book-jacket author photo, we have a better view of the dog she's kissing than of the author herself) and it sounds like it's gonna be awesome
