Since Matthew and I both chose the book’s cover as our feature photos, our front page looks like this: Part of me wants to just keeping making this the feature photo to every Tender Wings of Desire post, maybe even every post ever. There’s something delightful about the idea of clogging up our homepage with the greatest picture of […]

Well, we’re at the finale of a book that, for some reason, has left us with the following batshit insane questions: In what capacity can you actually include Kentucky Fried Chicken, the fast food chain, in a romance novel? Does Colonel Sanders, as in the KFC Colonel Sanders, fuck? Seriously, please pause and reflect on […]

A Court of Mist and Fury Chapter 18: In a startling invasion of personal space, Amren is standing over Feyre’s bed when she wakes up, unnecessarily pointing out that she smells like vomit and that Feyre’s vomit-soaked PTSD is obviously the reason she is so skinny. This is a very terrible way to begin your day. […]

A Court of Mist and Fury: Chapter 19 Feyre and Rhysand return and report their findings to the rest of Rhysand’s inner circle. “The Bone Carver,” Rhys said, “is a busybody gossip who likes to pry into other people’s business far too much.” I genuinely like that, on occasion, ACOMAF has as much trouble taking ACOMAF seriously as […]

Hello, friends! Ariel and Matthew have been traveling and/or entertaining traveling company, so we’re taking the week off. We’ll be back next week with more A Court of Mist and Fury and the next installment in Calendar Girl.

Calendar Girl (July) Chapter 1: Blond. Blue-eyed. Tall. Goddess. Jesus H. Christ. The universe was laughing at me as I stood stock-still and looked the modelesque woman up and down. She looked like she could be Rachel’s ungodly perfect sister, and I thought Rachel was stunning. Nope. Totally wrong. That seems like an unnecessary dig […]

I know, it’s very exciting to be back reading a story about romance where the question is “will they or won’t they?” and not “but when does fried chicken come in?” Calendar Girl (July): Chapter 2 Anton takes Mia and Heather back to his penthouse, where Heather takes Mia to the kitchen and makes martinis to […]

Don’t worry, I don’t know Hamilton well enough to make more Schuyler Sisters jokes than the obvious one.

Calendar Girl (July) Chapter 3: Mia receives a text from Wes that “chill[s] [her] blood”, so I thought that maybe he was cutting ties or vaguely alluding to murdering Aaron in a very Crossfire turn of events. In reality, he tells Mia he’s coming to visit her for her birthday and that Ginelle gave him a heads up about it. […]

Calendar Girl (Chapter 4): July The chapter opens with a flashback to Aaron assaulting Mia, then comes back to the present with Anton trying to calm Mia, assuring her that he isn’t going to hurt her. He also does so while “holding me tight, arms locked around my body, preventing any movement”, which seems like […]

Hello, dear readers! We’re running a bit behind schedule this week, so the next ACOMAF posts are going up this weekend instead of the usual days. Come back Saturday and Sunday! And then next week resumes as normal. That’s four straight days of brand new BBGT. I know, it’s thrilling. I don’t know if I […]

A Court of Mist and Fury Chapter 24: Apparently, the staff loves working so much that it takes Elaine “hours” to “charm them” into leaving to go spend time with their families. I thought maybe they were worried about being paid, but she sends them off with money, which is not an argument that would […]

A Court of Mist and Fury: Chapter 25 Feyre and Rhysand march off into the woods on their day off to train Feyre’s burgeoning magic powers.

Calendar Girl (July) Chapter 5: Heather and Mia find Anton and Maria having a “dance off” that consists of Anton copying one move that Maria demonstrates for him. Now, I’m no dance off expert, but this seems closer to a game of Simon Says than it does to a dance off. Heather tries to get […]

Once again, we’re halfway through a Calendar Girl novella. There’s still five books left in this series after this. How’s everyone feeling? Also, this kind of goes without saying for Calendar Girl at this point, but trigger warning for sexual assault and related PTSD, which get discussed quite a lot in this chapter, because Calendar Girl really wants to make it […]

A Court of Mist and Fury Chapter 28: Whilst Rhys and Feyre have breakfast with her sisters, Azriel goes to torture the Attor with Cassian not far behind: He’d given Nesta a mocking bow, and she’d given him a vulgar gesture I hadn’t realized she knew how to make. Cassian had merely laughed, his eyes snaking […]

SURPRISE! This is not a drill – Bad Books, Good Times is reading Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. WHAT? Really? Well, it’s gonna be a little different than usual. We already read two books for the blog, and I don’t want to start up a third book that I won’t be able to update regularly. So it’s […]

Calendar Girl (July) Chapter 7: Mia describes in great detail the outfit she’s selected to wear for Wes. I felt sexy, young, hip, yet still me. Casual Mia. If you have to refer to yourself as “Casual Mia” after planning every little detail of your outfit, it is probably an inaccurate description. Wes would be […]
