PSA: PLEASE DO NOT BATHE YOUR RABBITS IN A BATHTUB OR REALLY AT ALL

What on earth

I have no idea what I'm reading

Huh, I did not know it was considered rude to fight back against homophobia but what do I know?

He is not being grumpy nor rude to fight back, and the "sunshiny" one reprimanding him for saying something back does not make him the nice one.

Casual homophobia is still hurtful.

Nope. Can’t do it. WTF is a pee-pee hard-on dance? Already rolling my eyes at this one. Kinda sucks, I’ve had this on my to read shelf for ages.

Oh my gosh did Rance just make him a dick cozie? Lol. I can't tell if that sexy or not.

gah. Wish the main character would stop saying things like 'the new boy'. Stop calling your neighbor 'boy!' mmphs. And that the narrator wouldn't make the new neighbor's voice sound like it's in the process of changing. shesh. how old is this 'boy'?

I adore Amy Lane

Can't go wrong with Amy Lane.

// The percentages were off because I'm reading the bundle but rating each novella separately.

// "Ben’s entire body was shaking with silent laughter as he looked at the unmistakably phallic tubes of wool, each of them complete with a contrasting color on the mushroom head and the scrot sac for the twins. One was teal and rust and one was purple and gray, but it didn’t make a difference. What mattered was where they would be worn and who would know they were there"

// See previous quote update!

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN!!!!!!! I have to ask, Crawford, Rance, WHATEVER, were you ever hit in the head?!!? Because holy shit, are you being deliberately and I obnoxiously obtuse?!!??? Grrrrrrrr!!

I AM FORCING MYSELF TO CONTINUE BC I BOUGHT THE BUNDLE!!!!!

// "I’m just saying that you don’t let anyone get too close, do you?” Stanley seemed to be challenging him in some way, and Ben was looking at him like he needed Crawford to defend him somehow.
“Of course I do,” Crawford said, feeling puzzled. “I live right next to my store. People have to get close or I wouldn’t sell any stock."

// My previous update is by NO means a criticism in any way, shape, or form. I'm just saying that Crawford's unique & sometimes uncomfortably abrasive way of musing over things leaves me feeling very distanced [from] & irritated [with him]. He's a very odd duck & while there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, I find it difficult to form a bond with him (as a reader), and I find myself losing patience :-(!!
