Living with a brain tumour, reading for therapy, mum of two, optimist, too old to read YA. My Gran used to get me Mills&Boon books from the library when I was off school sick and it stuck with me.

    “I’d pat your hand with a well-intentioned but awkward gesture if my skin weren’t poisonous” Hag was as unused to having a girl friend as Ellie was.

    I LOVE THIS FRIENDSHIP SO MUCH

    I continue to adore this series and my 10 year old is still thoroughly enjoying having them read to him! This one definitely harder to read out loud than HGttG because it’s genuinely batshit in places and the names are very hard to pronounce but we’re having a lot of fun! Life the Universe and Everything up next!

    Ok this was as good as Fated Mates told me it was! Going to re:read Lothaire now because I want to remember that big Val Hall fight from inside the house. Then I might finish the other Morrior books next, then the other demon and vampire ones.

    I struggle with the werewolf (lykae?) IAD books because of Kresley’s insistence on writing Scottish dialect so wondering if I can skip all of them whilst powering my way through to the end.

    “The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several- one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.”

    45 years later and this paragraph is even more relevant 😔

    I love a man who knows his worth

    “Goldie Sunshine Jacobs?” Did a three year old pick the MC names in this book?!

    This is getting DNF’d if I get one more urge to moan on this forum.

    Oh no, one of my writing icks.

    “Twatwaffle” is not a suitable swear word for a man caught in bed with another woman by his girlfriend.

    I bloody hate these juvenile cutesy swears that seem so beloved by some romance authors at the moment.

    I INHALED this book! Absolutely furious it stopped when it did, mind. I could have read a whole story about Piper and Scott. A lovely little Xmas tale 🤶🏻🎄🎅🏻❤️‍🔥
