Previously, Christian gave his ex a bath because reasons. Also, most of the chapter was communicated via intense eye contact somehow. Darker: Chapter 5 (Part 3) TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 2011 I’m tired and anxious to get back to Escala. Ana’s purse and cell phone are still in the car, and Taylor has informed me […]
The post Darker Chapter 6 (Part 3): Christian…Proposes? appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
So sorry this post is late! I got my posting weeks mixed up. I couldn’t just leave you all wondering what would happen to Falyn and whichever Maddox bro we’re reading about right now, though, so here you go! Beautiful Sacrifice Chapter 13: Falyn is having a really tough week while waiting for checks notes […]
The post Beautiful Sacrifice Chapter 13: Their First Kiss appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Christian’s mentally unstable stalker ex broke into Ana’s apartment and he diffused the situation by making her take off her clothes so he could personally give her a bath. Then he proposed to Ana. It was one hell of a Tuesday. Darker: Chapter 7 (Part 1) WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2011 So where does the […]
The post Darker Chapter 7 (Part 1): Jack Hyde Technically Advances The Plot appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Christian roughed Jack Hyde up after he made a move on Ana. Christian is, of course, furious…with Ana? Darker Chapter 7 (Part 2): “Christian, why are you so mad at me?” “You know why.” REASONS! As we enter the elevator, I punch the code into the keypad. “God, if something had happened to you, […]
The post Darker Chapter 7 (Part 2): Christian Grey is a Champion for Young Women Everywhere appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Taylor admitted he doesn’t want to just be friends with Falyn anymore and they have their first kiss on an airplane. Don’t worry, they’re still will-we-won’t-we-ing in this chapter anyway. That’d have made too much sense otherwise. Beautiful Sacrifice: Chapter 14 GUYS. WE’RE IN EAKINS, ILLINOIS. WE’RE FINALLY FUCKING HERE. Taylor pulled the rental […]
The post Beautiful Sacrifice Chapter 14: EAKINS! Also The Obligatory Trabby Cameo and The Plot Twist, But Mostly EAKINS! appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Christian fired Jack Hyde for his attempted assault on Ana, and then his IT guy found a bunch of files about Christian’s family members on Jack’s computer. Other pressing issues in Christian’s life: Christian isn’t sure about the future of his sexy sex dungeon playroom, and Ana wants to get a drink with her […]
The post Darker Chapter 8 (Part 1): The Endless Worrying of Christian Grey appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Christian continues to wonder whether Ana will agree to marry him after a half an hour of dating, and twelve million hours of screaming about how Ana drives cars and how much Christian hates condoms. Also, Christian decides he should buy a house for himself and Ana without talking to her about it at all. […]
The post Darker Chapter 8 (Part 2): IT’S THE SEXY ASPARAGUS CHAPTER!!! appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
When we left off, Taylor confronted Falyn, thinking she’d killed Olive’s brother when she was drunk driving. In fact, Matthew and I were both starting to think this would actually be the plot twist. But actually, the plot got twisted in typical McGuire fashion in that a lot of confusing misdirects, but my initial suspicions […]
The post Beautiful Sacrifice Chapter 15: Back Off, Trabby appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Ana mimed giving a blow job with a piece of asparagus. Fifty Shades sure is living its truth, I guess. Darker: Chapter 9 FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 2011 While last chapter started with Christian having a dream/flashback, this chapter starts with Ana having dream-symbolism. She’s beside me and I think she’s asleep. “Flying too close,” she […]
The post Darker (Chapter 9): Christian’s Helicopter Crashes, But It’s Fine appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Christian and Ros (who?) were involved in a ~very suspicious~ plane crash. It’s a good thing I’m 99% we found out that Ros is gay in the original trilogy because otherwise Ana would have been so upset that Christian was lost for three pages with another woman. Darker Chapter 10 (Part 1): Ana has a […]
The post Darker Chapter 10 (Part 1): Planes are Cool appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Falyn and Taylor finally banged after Taylor learned that the girl he met in Colorado was secretly his neighbor’s kid’s real mom, because I guess there’s a direct train to pound town from adoption junction. Anyway, I just wrote a joke with the words “pound town” and “adoption junction” in it, so I think […]
The post Beautiful Sacrifice Chapter 16: Falyn’s Day With Olive, Who Is Really In This Story appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Guys, did you know we’re reading the last chapter of Darker? Did you know it is exhaustingly long? We’re gonna be reading it for a while. Previously, Christian survived a plane crash, Ana agreed to marry him, and Ana’s birth control has kicked in so Christian doesn’t have to wear condoms anymore. You might think that last thing wouldn’t be […]
The post Darker Chapter 10 (Part 2): They Do The Weird Stuff appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Ana and Christian continue to have problems such as what is the plot? and we’re rich, what now? Also, Christian might be realising that people in his life love him for some reason. Darker Chapter 10 (Part 3): Christian listens to all the voicemails he received during the five pages he went missing. They are from loved ones, and […]

Falyn got to spend a day with Olive AND consumate her love with Taylor. Beautiful Sacrifice Chapter 17: Everything is just swell between Taylor and Falyn. We’ve skipped ahead a couple months, and they’ve settled into a (long distance) routine. Taylor is living and working a few hours away and visits Falyn on the weekends […]
The post Beautiful Sacrifice Chapter 17: Everything is Going Well…OR IS IT? appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
This is it, y’all! The last post about Darker, the rewrite of the second Fifty Shades book from Christian’s perspective. It’s over! Well, it will be over in almost 3000 words. A lot happened. In this book we already read once. Previously, I guess something happened in this book? Fuck if I know. It was like 500 pages of Christian having lots […]

YOU GUYS IT’S BACK! CALENDAR GIRL IS BACK! I’ll be whinging about it shortly, but for now I am truly excited to jump back in. This is the penultimate book in the series, can you believe it? Glamorous high-class callgirling! Long lost siblings! Annoying best friends! Terrorist plots! Kidnapping! Mob activity! Gambling! This series truly has it […]
The post Calendar Girl (November) Chapter 1: Wes Has Jealousy Issues…Because He Was Kidnapped? appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, the narrative seemingly wrapped up and the characters had a conversation about what the conflict for the last third of the book should be. I mean, Falyn and Taylor have been dating long-distance for a few months now but she thinks she has to break things off because she thinks she isn’t what Taylor […]
The post Beautiful Sacrifice Chapter 18: They Go On A Break appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Mia and Wes went to New York because Mia has a new job in television and isn’t doing the job that gave the series its name anymore. They agree to get married… again. Wes is jealous that Mia is still friends with men… again. A minor character whose name I already forget shouted “Holy […]

For some reason every time I sit down to write about a chapter of Beautiful Sacrifice, it takes me a good three minutes to remember Falyn’s name. Anyway Falyn–look at me remembering her name–lands in St. Thomas to see…flips frantically through pages Taylor for Trabby’s renewal ceremony. Taylor himself isn’t there to pick Falyn up, but he’s […]
