One of my favorite things to do is #bookcovers, and when you add to it some fake fantasy #bodicerippers that makes it even better

Okay, I think I understand you, then. Back in the day, when I was a baby bookseller, there was a category of book called bodicerippers, characterised by period settings, rape, and adverbs. I just don’t think that James ever moved on from them.
