#WhatchaReading ? I finished the most waste of time old Harlequin, The Wild Side by Diana Hamilton. One of those awful misogynistic old skool books that's pretty fun if you're in the right mood -- but
#WhatchaReading ? I finished the most waste of time old Harlequin, The Wild Side by Diana Hamilton. One of those awful misogynistic old skool books that's pretty fun if you're in the right mood -- but then there's the most lukewarm ending! Why did I suffer through all that angst?! Where is my payoff?!
@willaful@romancelandia@romancebooks Oh gosh, I try never to go back to those older books. I tried to re-read a Betty Neels (who I loved) & I couldn't. But at least it wasn't as bad as the old Presents ... talk about misogynistic. All they did was teach you that a man could be verbally & emotionally abusive, but you can fall in love with them anyway.
@lenoreo@willaful@romancelandia@romancebooks and we won't mention the bodice rippers/rape culture ... yes, I loved those books too, we were conditioned to - Luke and Laura anybody?
