Seen on the Metro: Purple Prose?

Whilst heading home from (losing) my bocce game last Thursday, I saw a fun sight. A FedEx employee boarded the train with a romance novel in her hand.

It was purple, which matched her uniform. I don't know why I love it when a person's reading choices matches their wardrobe, but it always tickles me pink.

I couldn't see the title the book, but I was able to figure out that the author was Christine Feehan. According to my scrolling of her titles on Barnes and Noble, the book may have been Spirit Bound or Fever.

Also, every time I see someone reading a romance in public, I want to high-five them for being awesome. I still think these books get a bad rap. We should be reading them loudly and proudly.
