The other day I was having coffee with a friend at a small, independent coffee shop. They had a large sign on their counter that stated, Warning: unattended children will be fed espresso and given a toy drum. Definitely enough to strike fear into the hearts of parents everywhere LOL.
I recently read at Paperback Writer's Blog about warning labels on our books. There are a number of great ones given, my favorites being "Warning: this novel has a realistic ending" and "Plot twists may be larger than they first appear."
If I had to put a warning label on Colleen's book, Rest Falls Away, it would have to say, "Warning: This book is seriously addictive and highly entertaining."
If I had to put a warning label on my upcoming release, The Remains of the Dead, I'd probably say "Warning: Although I seriously considered it, no person was murdered in the making of this mystery".
What kind of warning label would you put on books you've read recently?

Warning on The Naked Earl: Do not drink anything when the characters head for the garden.
Hmmm... I don't want to name the book because this warning would be a huge spoiler. Si I'll just say it is a book in a series, urban fantsy, and the warning is Warning: Don't become too attached to a main character; they might die on you and break your heart. Sigh.
LOL Caroline, I like that one!
Hey, Eve, we simu-posted :) Okay, your warning label is a big TEASE!!
Warning: funny and sexy vampires, demons, talking cats and the like ahead. :)
Oh yeah, the title could help -- Wicked Pleasures (I think) by Nina Bangs.
