Roberta is on page 60 of 317 of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries (Emily Wilde, #1)
I also find it weird that she travels to all kinds of remote places, but doesn’t know how to build and bank a fire. Or chop logs.

If she grew up in London, and has lived in Cambridge since she was 14 or 15, why does she call autumn fall (which as far as I’m aware is the American term)?

Roberta
Roberta is starting The Olive Branch
Well I didn’t like Marco to start with, but now I absolutely hate him (since the sheep). He’s a manipulative b*stard who won’t either a) give her a decent price for the house she bought, or b) allow her to sell it to someone who can pay! He manipulated a painting out of her, by doing up an outbuilding that he knew was on his own land. So he got the painting free! For doing nothing but hurting her. Unforgivable!

Roberta is starting Murder in the Manger (Sophie Sayers Village Mystery, #3)
I can’t believe she’s let her ex into her house. Multiple times he’s put his hands on her, and she hasn’t hit him, or made it very clear to him he’s not welcome!

Every time Patricia sets up a sting, she messes it up completely. How did she get her job if she’s so incompetent?

The characters assume that because a man is with another man, he couldn’t have been with a woman. As if bisexuals and pansexuals etc don’t exist!

Roberta is 21% done with The Holiday Swap
Both female main characters very passive, just letting males touch/kiss them when they don’t want to be. Why? I hate it. I’ll have to abandon the book if they don’t grow backbones pretty sharpish!

Roberta
Roberta is starting Mince Pies and Mistletoe at the Christmas Market
59% really really hate the scene where the “hero” thinks it’s totally fine to force a kiss on the female main character even though she’s said no. That’s sexual assault, not romance. Vomit!

Roberta is on page 8 of 280 of Lord Edgware Dies (Hercule Poirot, #9)
Problematic, as Poirot manages to make two racist remarks before the end of page 8

Roberta
Roberta is 65% done with Matchmaking for Beginners
I was really enjoying this, but now she’s had sex with her ex husband (who’s self absorbed and selfish) without breaking up with her fiancé (whose heart she already broke once) and I’m just thinking she’s a terrible, terrible, selfish person too, and maybe she deserves her ex husband.

Now tears are watering her eyes - is this book meant to be a parody?

Why is Alyssa’s chest stinging when she’s worried about something? I’m guessing it means she’s worried, the book doesn’t actually say so!

People keep bending their eyebrows - what does that mean? So many sentences that make no sense.

A lot of arbitrary rules that don’t seem to make sense.

A sentence saying she inhaled and exhaled, really? I’m assuming everyone is doing that pretty much all the way through, or they would die.

The use of language is very strange. How do you brighten your eyes?

Urgh, 51% of the way through and she’s still with the awful guy, still stressed out of her mind and doing nothing about it. Not sure I can carry on much longer.
