Never too old to cringe... or what happens when your mom follows you on GoodReads

9:18 am 31 July 2014

So I get to my mom's house yesterday and one of the first things she says to me is "I read that book you recommended and I didn't like it all!" Which leaves me scrambling, wracking my brain to figure out what book I've recently recommended to my mom?!?!

Then I see Sixth Grave on the Edge in her donation pile. I NEVER would have recommended Charlie Davidson to my 90 year old ultra-religious mom. When I asked her what in the world ever possessed her to buy and read that book, her response? "Because I saw your review of it on GoodReads."

I have no one to blame but myself; I introduced her to GoodReads. But I did cringe when I realized she now knows how much I love a series about the Grim Reaper in love with the Son of Satan. Moms are moms no matter how old you get. :)
