Previously, Jake went to a gun range and saw a dude who was so good at guns that he daydreamed about getting a job in guns instead of biology. Also the villains held a meeting to discuss how their random attacks on Jake to “test him and find out how much of a badass he […]
The post Trigger Warning Chapter 16: Jake DOESN’T Get In A Fight, Makes A Black Friend appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Prologue: A mysterious prologue in which an unnamed woman makes an unspecified escape, hopes unnamed others can also escape, hides out in the woods, and then shows up at Magda’s house, and Magda is like, “What happened to you, unnamed lady, you were supposed to be here a week ago.” Chapter 1: I’m honestly going […]
The post The Mister Prologue & Chapter 1: Meet Maxim! The British Christian Grey! appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, E.L. James wrote a new book, which I honestly never thought she’d bother to do. Of course, “new” is surprisingly up for debate. As has been pointed out by others by now, 1) the characters and plot are pretty similar to Fifty Shades of Grey, and 2) the characters and plot are pretty similar […]

Surprise! It’s a Trigger Warning post! I know, we’re only two chapters into The Mister and immediately took two weeks off and that’s a little jarring, but what happened was 1) Ariel moved, I started a new job, and I’m also going to move this summer, so we’re a little busy IRL, and 2) nothing […]
The post Trigger Warning Chapter 17: Date Night! appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Hello, friends! Sorry for the impromptu break. Much like our new hero Maxim, I have RESPONSIBILITIES!!!! But here I am, back with chapter three of The Mister! Previously Alessia saw her very first naked man and he was none other than our angsty treadmill-runnin’, thames-starin’ hero Maxim! She cleans Maxim’s fancy flat by day and […]
The post The Mister Chapter 3 Summary: Maxim Takes Another Woman Home and Whines Some More appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously in E.L. James’s The Mister, Maxim had a one-night stand in celebration of Let’s Fuck Thursday. Imagine how boring the last chapter would have been if we caught him on Let’s Hang Out With My Friends This Time Monday or I Just Feel Like Staying In And Playing Fortnite Wednesday. The Mister: Chapter 4 […]
The post The Mister Chapter 4: When Mister Met Daily appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Alessia and The Mister met! There was instant attraction, and Maxim was inspired to PIANO! The Mister Chapter 5 Summary: Alessia can’t stop thinking about how sexy The Mister is. This is in stark contrast to my experience of not being able to stop thinking about how unsexy The Mister is. Like now when […]
The post The Mister Chapter 5 Summary: They’re Already Obsessed With Each Other appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Maxim and Alessia longed for each other. Speaking of longing, get ready for another chapter that’s lo– hits the backspace key furiously Previously, everyone was hopelessly horny. Maxim and Alessia experienced an amount of sexual tension impressively disproportionate to the amount of interaction they’ve had with each other, which has consisted of 1) saying […]
The post The Mister Chapter 6: Maxim Discovers Alessia Plays Piano, Touches Her Face appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Matthew decided that Caroline is his favorite character. I am undecided about that. All she seems to do is try to convince Maxim to have sex with her, so, *shrug*. Caroline is also apparently psychic and figures out that Alessia and Maxim are obsessed with one another. Maxim also discovers Alessia can play the […]
The post The Mister Chapter 7 Summary: Wait…Is ALESSIA The Creepy One???? appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Hello friends! Matthew is moving next weekend and has spent the last [insert some amount of time here, time has lost meaning] packing, and Ariel adopted a new pet, so we got too busy to write new posts this week! We might be back with more The Mister next week, depending on how badly Matthew […]
The post BRB appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
I went to Book Con last weekend! No, I didn’t go on the day that E.L. James was there. This was for fun, not for a side hustle. In stark contrast, I went to two back-to-back romance panels – one by historical romance authors and the other by rom com authors – where the authors […]
The post The Mister Chapter 8: They Kiss* (*This Time They’re Both Awake) appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously on The Mister Alessia and Maxim kiss, but THEN two mysterious men show up looking for Alessia. The Mister Chapter 9: Alessia hides outside and panics because she recognizes these men. So it turns out these guys likely have nothing to do with immigration, but with the mysterious man from Alessia’s past who she’s […]
The post The Mister Review, Chapter 9: HOW DO I GET YOU ALONEEEEEE?? appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Alessia tells Maxim that she was a victim of sex trafficking, escaped, is now in the country illegally, and that’s why there are men after her. Maxim decides he’s going to help and offers to take her to a safe location. From the criminals who are trying to reclaim one of their victims who […]
The post The Mister Chapter 10: Car Talk appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Maxim whisked Alessia away to a private family residence to protect her from human traffickers. This sounds heroic until you realise that for the entirety of chapter 11, Maxim will be constantly reminding himself not to take advantage of Alessia. The Mister Review, Chapter 11: Alessia reflects on the fact that this whole situation […]
The post The Mister Review, Chapter 11: Maxim Praises Himself for Not Ravishing a Vulnerable Alessia appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Maxim took Alessia to one of his other properties to evade the human traffickers who are determined to get this one girl back from under the protection of a lord, of all people. Ariel spent some time digging through the many lines about how Maxim “want[s] her, yes. But I want her wet and […]
The post The Mister Chapter 12: THE SEA! The Sea! ThE sEa tHe SeA tHe S appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Alessia saw the sea and was overjoyed. Maxim and Alessia also shared a bed to ward off her nightmares. They still manage to have no chemistry, but don’t you worry, that’s never stopped James’ characters before! The Mister Chapter 13: As they stroll along the sea together, Maxim tells Alessia about Kit and impressively […]

Hello, readers! I had a surprisingly busy week wrapping up some moving logistics. Blog posts will be back next week! Next The Mister chapter is a big one, so get… as excited as you can get for The Mister.
The post whoops! appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
I gave this post that title just for all you guys who just wanted to know when the sex scenes finally start in E.L. James’s new novel. You’re welcome, perverts. Previously, the world’s most inept sex traffickers (real words I’m writing on this blog!) have inexplicably driven Maxim and Alessia into hiding at one of […]
The post The Mister Chapter 14: They Start F***ing In This One appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, they slept together and Matthew did an amazing job of comparing that scene to Fifty Shades. Check it out if you haven’t had a chance to yet. Matthew and I were chatting a little bit about the fact that we didn’t get any of Alessia’s POV in the last chapter, which was weird considering […]
