.................................................
Today a new customer came in with two friends, tried one of our "Best Caramels Ever". She said, "I love this, its like a piece of my soul." Best review ever.
Then while they ate their caramels, and we had a great discussion about bannd books and why "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Twilight" is on the Great American Read list.
..........................................
Later we had two customers come in who said they started reading again after a bit of a book hiatus. Their brains were hungry and they have been devouring books. One customer said she owned it all to "Crazy Rich Asians". She read it and she wanted more. Ok bear with my thought process here- this is why I am ok with "Twilight" and Fifty Shades being on the Great American Reads list. They were fun and got a lot of people reading, people who weren't readers or who were lapsed readers. 
I really enjoyed "Crazy Rich Asians". Is it the best book ever? Not in my opinion, but its bringing people through my door and it gave an all Asian cast a blockbuster script, which is freak'n awesome! So I love it. Its candy, its fun, just like Fifty Shades and Twilight. In 10 years if they redo the Great American Read list, I hope it makes it.. maybe it will even push Fifty Shades or Twilight out of the running.
