Feyre and Rhys ask the Bone Carver if there’s another way they can convince him to help them. Like any self-respecting villain out of a fairy-ish tale, he requests their first born child (fun fact: this is the same child he takes the form of!), but he gets denied. Then everyone gets dressed for the […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 42: The Dawn Court is Super Pretty appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Over the weekend, I checked off an apple picking trip, corn maze, and going through a goofy little haunted house nevertheless full of sobbing children on my list of mandatory fall activities. You wanna guess what’s next? THAT’S RIGHT. DEAR READER, IT’S GOOSEBUMPS-O-CLOCK. Since we’ve changed our update schedule for the first time in… ever, we’re […]

Omg if you haven’t voted for which Goosebumps book you want us to read, there’s still time! Previously, we met a ton of side characters as the Big High Lord Meetup kicked off. THEN TAMLIN ARRIVED GASP!!!! A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 44: I felt the tremor of magic slide through the room as shield […]

YOU GUYS, IT’S TIME FOR OUR ANNUAL GOOSEBUMPS READING. It’s our oldest Bad Books, Good Times tradition, even older than my dad sighing and helping me write erotic novels as business expenses on my taxes. It Came From Beneath The Sink and Why I’m Afraid of Bees were basically neck and neck for most of the last few […]

Sorry for the delayed post, everyone! My week was busier than expected. Quick recap for those of you who might have missed the first few chapters of It Came From Beneath the Sink: A family moves into a new house.

Previously, Kat and Daniel learned that the – and I know I say this every year, but this is really what this book is about – killer sponge is an ancient creature called a Grool that makes its owner unlucky. Worse, a Grool is only passed on when the owner dies, and that trying to […]
The post Goosebumps Accidentally Raises Philosophical Questions About The Concept of Ownership: It Came From Beneath The Sink Chapters 15-22 appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously… oof, been a little while, huh? The Goosebumps break is over, and it’s back to this nonsense. Kind of feels like I should summarize a bit more than just the last chapter, right? Hm, what’s the best way to do this? Nobody told you Rhys was gonna be with Feyre NO. I said I wasn’t […]

Hey all! Sorry the thrilling conclusion of Goosebumps hasn’t been posted yet. EVERYTHING IS FINE I was just travelling this weekend and wasn’t able to get the post up before I left. All hope is not lost, though, and I’ll have it up as soon as I can <3
The post A Special Message From Aer appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
It’s been a hot minute, but previously the sponge was evil and Goosebumps tried to figure out who the hell owned it/was cursed by it. But right now they have no idea where the grool even is omg. Chapter 23: Carlo hazards a guess that some kids he raced earlier might have picked up his gross dirty sponge […]

Previously, the High Lord meeting is not going great. Feyre tried to murder Eris, then Feyre tried to murder Beron. Diplomacy! A Court of Wings and Ruin: Chapter 46 Beron shields himself from Feyre using his own fire powers against him. The other High Lords jump up in surprise because – oh, shit, Feyre has Beron’s magic […]

A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapter 48: Feyre tells us all about how she and Rhys cuddled all night long (he wrapped one wing around her) and it was soooo much deeper than sex, and she stared at him AND LOVES HIM SO MUCH. She tells us all this after pointing out how Mor doesn’t […]

Hello, our lovely readers! BBGT is going to be on a few winter breaks this year because of travel schedules around the holidays/for the holidays/because good lord how long is ACOWAR again? We’ll be back December 10! Ok wow ya know I thought that’d just be a fun lil clip but Tom Hanks’ character in You’ve Got […]

Whoa! It’s been a little while! Are we still reading A Court of Wings and Ruin? Dang, I feel like we’ve been reading this for as long as Rhysand’s been alive: apparently not nineteen years. Previously, all the High Lords took two thirds of the book to schedule a meeting to talk about the upcoming war, and then were super […]

Previously, Hybern suddenly destroyed the wall between the mortal and immortal lands, sending the High Lords into a panic that the war is really about to begin now. So, naturally, heads of state Feyre and Rhysand are not in their kingdom, and are going on a secret mission with Elain at her ex’s father’s castle to […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapters 52 & 53: An Unimportant Bad Guy Is Really… An Unimportant Good Guy??? appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Jurian, a character we once thought evil, turned out not to be evil. Somehow his motivations for being evil and for being one of the good guys both make almost no sense. What an achievement! Seriously, why the fuck does Hybern trust him at all? It never made a lick of sense why Jurian would be […]

Happy holidays, everybody! This is the long one – the Bad Books, Good Times team is going to be taking about a month off from our regular schedule, until January 21st. After the holidays, Ariel has some commitments through the bulk of January. I might pop in with a surprise extra post to keep ACO-SLOG moving along […]

Welcome to 2019, friends! I know, I know. It’s still A Court of Wings and Ruin. “Sure, it’s the only book we’re reading and it’s 700 pages long, but how much of a slog could it really be?” we thought last May. We still have a quarter of this book left. The pacing and filler is so intense […]
