Mills & Booooooooooooooooooooon

Radio 4's Today programme always manages to make me smile. This morning one of the presenters was interviewing a spokesperson for Mills & Boon and asked lots of questions about the parallels between their huge success in the 1930s and their showing during the present recession, about the proposed redesigning of the book covers to try and attract younger readers AND do they have any plans to publish same sex romances?. I give the woman credit that she didn't fall silent or gabble but delivered a smooth reply that they try to keep abreast of all trends.

So - five years - ten maybe - and maybe there'll be M&B M/M on the newsagents shelves. I just hope to God the covers are a bit more inspiring.
