Status Updates From Geek Girls Don't Date Dukes...

DNF at 44 pgs. I tried, but I just don't care. I'm not enjoying the characters or the writing style. Moving on.

Oh, Avery had advised Granville about Prachett’s schemes and the involvement of Avery (and Mackenzie?) in them. That’s how Granville got to Leah first. ☹️

SPOILER!!!




Wait, what?! How was it the Duke of Granville found her before Avery did?

Aha! The familiar Scottish voice that the hooded Leah heard belonged to Granville’s thwarted stable master.

I’m surprised Mackenzie didn’t pick up where the other lackeys left off & had a go himself at groping Leah. I guess he told the other guys to wait until Pratchett got what he wanted from Avery first?

“He titled his head back, throat working.”

I dub thee “Sir Neck”! 🤣

I think “titled” is supposed to be “tiLTed”. 😆😂🤣

Lady Chesterfield rose in a flurry of rose-colored lace and feathers. Leah was beginning to wonder about all the poor little birds that were running around in the buff because of her patroness.

😂

She’d fallen so quickly. The sharp crack of her skull on the rock haunted him even now.

Avery was remembering the day his mother died, having been caught unawares by a brigand stealing the basket she carried home from visiting a parishioner. (Avery’s father was the vicar.) But Avery feels that *he* killed his mother and is denying himself any happiness forevermore in penance. 😢

Avery is ~5’ 10”, Leah estimates. She says she is 5’ 7”.

Aha! Mrs. K reappears! 👏🏽

Leah (or Leelee, as her Pawpaw calls her) is an elementary school drama teacher.

Sh*t-tastic

Love it! The term, that is, not the situation it’s describing. 😆

I wonder if this installment will address some of the criticism I read on Goodreads about its predecessor - i.e., how Micah will adjust to being thrust in the modern world w/no birth certificate or social security number. Such pragmatists these readers are.

Especially now that - as Leah mentioned - he & Jamie are getting married. How did they apply for a license w/out proof of his identity? 🤔😁

Maybe Leah will be less annoying as a lady...? Though I doubt it.

I'm having so much trouble with this book. I don't like how Leah talks or acts or complains or expects a duke. Not all time travel books are created equal.

Very cute so far.
