Oh, well that is perfectly fine. For a moment I thought that would be the conflict.

Wait wife? I skim read the content tags at the beginning 😬

I think this one was the one I got interested in?

After reading book one I do not know how I will get over my dislike of Harry!

I really did not see that coming but I am an utter idiot when it comes to mysteries (Gavin Reads It All I could never) so that is not saying much.

Oh my fucking god I am a royalist. And I do not even like my king! Hopefully his daughters will prove why I think it is sort of a good idea to have royalty (with only soft power).

I am disgusted with myself though. All that tax money going to people who were lucky to be born. Jeetje. Ugh.

Although I am enjoying it, it feels strange that I am only halfway. Apparently this has 400 pages!

This is the downside of being an Old-Skool romance reader. I am used to around 250 pages. 400 feel excessive…

I sure hope he agrees that Celsius is far better than Fahrenheit!

Americans.

Ahh. I like the beginning of this but 39 vs mid-twenties… just a little too big for me to be comfortable with. hopefully there won’t be a lot of focus on that gap.

“The wine was Golden Mediasch”

So my autocorrect corrected that to mediaschandaal which is hilarious. But the fact that the footnote is about how no one knows what kind of wine Stoker was talking about is amazing. I wonder if he changed it because of copyright infringement-ish reasons?

What is up with the choking?! I am too old for this shit.

How do I keep forgetting that the beginning of Dracula is creepy as hell! Mainly because Jonathan is such an cheerful character.

That is one big ass footnote about St. George’s Day!

I am reading this in tandem with daily Dracula en the podcast ‘Re: Dracula’ because the footnotes are hilarious and informative.

It is that time of the year! Started a day late but hopefully this year I will keep it up.

Well. That is so simplistic yet so effective it almost feels offensive.

This one is going to stick with me I fear.

“in the south
i question branches on trees”

In my country they did not hang people. I have never been to the USA but old trees there scare me…

Here they are a good thing. Something that brings joy, history and shelter. There, I am squinting my eyes. Why do they show those trees?

We got taught that Africans sold each other with the implication that slavery was sort of their own fault? At least that was how I interpreted that. Nowadays we teach all the ways slavery happened on that scale. But also the names of the tribes/cultures/countries.

Oef.

Simon looks like Tom Hiddleston (did I spell that correctly). But from what I have seen, he is actually very charismatic.

... She is a sex worker in a soapland, how kinky could her thoughts get? I assume that he did not wanted something out there? Did she wanted something more out there for herself? Is this a Japanese stereotype about women who work at soaplands? Was he just that boring?

Why did he barf?! What was she thinking!!

I need answers.

Apparently I have already read this? But 2020-2022 is like this blur.

I started the live action series and was curious about the source material.

Oh man, I am also not enjoying this one. Not even as an easy listen.

The shenanigans are so poorly done.

Well. I am glad you said that the “good girl,” followed up with “my needy little slut,” was supposed to be hot. At least someone is enjoying that 🙄

Yeah. Not really enjoying this but it is so short I just want to finish it.

Not the drive by daddy. That and surprise choking are such an instant DNF for me.

So. Much. Horniness.

I feel like that one dude who actually read the Playboy for their articles!

Oef this is very very porny.

Also maybe strange to say but masturbation scenes are so very boring. I am here for the romance, not your solo pleasure.

I have zero idea to what is going on…

Oh so this is about being horny 😬

WAIT WHAT?!
