Previously, Mia came face to face with her mother and SLAPPED HER. It was wild. Also, her mother hints that things might not be as they seem…my best guess is that Mia’s shitty father who has always been shitty might have been shitty and caused Mia’s mother to run away. Calendar Girl (December) Chapter 6: […]

Previously, Mia and her estranged mother crossed paths, resulting in Mia confronting her and her mother vaguely suggesting there’s a mysterious plot contrivance for why she was a shitty mom who abandoned them.

The post Calendar Girl (December) Chapter 7: Calendar Girl Attempts Some Mental Health Stuff appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Oh dear lord. Previously, Calendar Girl revealed Mia’s mother is bipolar and proceeds to treat this with the grace and sensitivity you’d expect from a story that has used the phrase “Samoan cock” at least 3000 times. Calendar Girl (December) Chapter 8: Max asks a question I have never heard a single man ask in my life, […]
The post Calendar Girl (December) Chapter 8: F**king Shandi appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, we were introduced to two new lame villains who Feyre immediately infers have daemati powers. Meaning, they can also break into other people’s minds. Jurian is an obnoxious turd. Tamlin is an obnoxious turd. Feyre reminds us that This is All Part of Her Plan. A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 3: I’d been awake […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 3: Lucien Trusts Feyre Again…for Some Reason appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Calendar Girl decided it was real important to reveal that Mia’s mom abandoned her as a child because she had undiagnosed bipolar disorder, Mia decided she’s still too hurt to want to try to fix their relationship, and none of this was incredibly uncomfortable or handled tactlessly at all and also now it’s Christmas. Calendar Girl […]

The post Calendar Girl (December) Chapter 10: That’s All? appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Feyre has very sneaky plans and she’s fooling everyone because she’s so sneaky. Except for Lucien, who totally knows she’s up to something, but trusts her anyway? Oh, and also except for Alis (Feyre’s maid) who just asked her not to murder her sons, and Feyre was like “What? Murder? Never heard of it!” (because she’s […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapters 4-5: Feyre’s Still Up To Her Schemes! appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
This is it, y’all. Calendar Girl is just about a wrap! Today I recap the epilogue, and later this week Ariel recaps the “Where Are They Now” chapter. We actually read this whole ridiculous 12-book series. TWELVE. We saw it grow up from a sexy sexy fuck-of-the-month erotic romance series into a soap opera about secret long-lost […]
The post Calendar Girl (December) Epilogue: “But What About Wes?” Asked No One appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Honestly, I wish I could just copy/paste every single line for you all. We go through an itemised list of each and every side character in this story, and it is GLORIOUS. It’s a real who’s who the fuck! Alec is currently splitting his time between his two French femme fatales who simultaneously claim to be […]
The post Calendar Girl (December): Where are They Now? appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Feyre continued to have super secret, convoluted plans. Matthew summed it up really well: Feyre: “Ha HA! He’s fallen for my cunning trap! My grand scheme is to make Tamlin think that Lucien will BETRAY HIM! Because, you see, Lucien will do anything to be with my sister! Anything! He’d even go behind Tamlin’s […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapters 6: More Wall Surveying and Sneaky Plans appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Hello, readers! Bad Books, Good Times is going on vacation this week. I was out of town last weekend and will be moving at the end of the month, so Ariel and I decided it’d be a good idea for us to take a week to, like, breathe. Also we need to catch our breath […]
The post Vote For The Next Sweet Valley High! appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
So, some of you were maybe expecting a Sweet Valley High post to show up today, and I may have contributed to that expectation by saying that was what we were gonna do. My b. So here’s what’s up. I (Matthew!) have a bit of a stereotypical New York City apartment hell scenario going on, and Ariel and […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 7: Jurian Explains Why He’s A Character, Finally appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 8: Tamlin paced in front of the hearth in his study, every turn as sharp as a blade. Right away, I thought Tamlin must be practicing for Faelander. He’s furious with Feyre and Lucien for their revenge on the Maybe-Incest-Twins. Weirdly, this whole chapter is basically Feyre recapping her […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 8: Feyre Reminds Us She Has Plans appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Tamlin and the Hybern maybe-incest twins have been inspecting the wall/going on camping trips, while Feyre’s been super sneakily, super carefully plotting their downfall. Most recently, Feyre turned popular opinion against Tamlin and Ianthe by tricking Tamlin into whipping one of his servants for an offense he obviously didn’t commit. It’s all very sneaky. […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 9: Feyre’s Finally Done Scheming… Or Is She? appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Feyre was already finished up with her plans to bring the Spring Court down. As she began to make her escape, she came upon Ianthe about to sexually assault Lucien, and she made Ianthe smash her hand with a rock. Read Matthew’s very interesting thoughts on this here. Before Feyre could leave, the maybe-incest twins show […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 10: Feyre’s Not-So-Great Escape appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Hello, friends! Sorry for the late notice, but Ariel and I are taking off this week since I just moved and my life is still mostly in bins in a partially furnished apartment. I just found where I packed my laptop charger last night. No, I didn’t separately pack things I would need right away. […]
The post BBGT This Week appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Feyre had the best sneaky plan to take down Tamlin, Ianthe, and the Spring Court from within, but the maybe-incest twins totally knew she was up to something and had been giving her poison that weakened her magic, but then she murdered them. RIP maybe-incest twins. But tbh it’s probably for the best for […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 11: A Brief Journey In The Pumpkin Spice Court appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Lucien and Feyre argued with one another about which way to head as they escape from the Spring Court. Lucien, who is from the Autumn Court, highly recommends NOT going through it.

Previously, Feyre and Lucien were rescued from their battle with Lucien’s bros by the Feyre’s squad. Now, they return to Velaris. A Court of Wings and Fury Chapter 14: Feyre arrives home at the Velaris town house, and I remember how odd and amusing it is that their headquarters is a town house. Everyone gathers […]
