  - Found it in the written policy: "We do not purchase titles clearly advertised as erotica." -- nm - mara Mar 14, 13:48
  - Yes. -- nm - mara Mar 14, 13:45 3
    - I presumed. (I know many libraries do). How do you determine what is/not erotica? - ty97 Mar 14, 13:47 2
      - It's pretty blurry, but I added above the only criteria I found -- how it's advertised. -- nm - mara Mar 14, 13:48 1

      - It was in the NYT as well as the new hot thing among moms. -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 13:51
      - I saw an article on this too. Apparently they are Twilight-esqe but racy. Hugely popular in Australia. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 13:39 12
        
        how is this trilogy considered Twilight-esque? - Diva Mar 14, 13:42 10
        
        iirc, it started as fan-fic. -- nm - b. Mar 14, 13:45
        
        It started out as Twilight fanfic, then was changed for publication. -- nm - mara Mar 14, 13:43 8
        
        hm - interesting. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 13:44 7
        
        I think it's interesting that this and that book that's reportedly a thing with UES-type wives are both popular at the same time. this one apparently - b. Mar 14, 13:49 6
        
        see - I thought the 'Beauty' books were pretty boring. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 13:56 5
        
        *gasp* they were plodding but well written - hell there was no actual sex in most of the 1st one - Epiphany Mar 14, 13:58 4
        
        yep. it was the writing I was referring to, mostly; but the rest is decent enough... - b. Mar 14, 14:16
        
        perhaps I need to revisit. -- nm - Diva Mar 14, 14:00

  - That's what's likely, but I wonder if we should notify the customers with holds. -- nm - mara Mar 14, 13:32 2
    - Seems like it would invite questions. If it disappears from the catalog, won't most just assume it was added in error and move on with their life? -- nm - TFox Mar 14, 13:36 1
      - Well, we get a lot of "I put a book on hold several months ago and never got a call. What's up with that?" It's not that it's a hard question to - mara Mar 14, 13:39

      - what are taxes on lottery winning? 50%? -- nm - sycor Mar 14, 13:14 3
        
        depends on what state you live in but a good rule of thumb is around 30% -- nm - decline Mar 14, 13:17

    - Cuz Melo can't work D'Antoni's system. He's been in the league for 9 years and can't figure out how to not clog the middle in a half-court set. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 13:17

- ca 't bears climb trees? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 14, 13:18 1
  - they *can*, sort of, but they are really just too heavy for most branches. that's why campers tie their food up in *trees* to keep bears out of it - Andie Mar 14, 13:29
