A mio marito che negli anni ha sopportato la mia tendenza a svolazzare da un’ossessione all'altra, mentre cercavo la mia strada, che finalmente ho trovato. Grazie, amore, per non essere saltato giù dal mio folle treno.

random thirdly (?) State of the Goodreads Challenge 2022

I cannot guarantee that I will give State of the Goodreads Challenge updates on the regular, but as my blog has increasingly slanted towards "if there is one consistency, it's my love of romance novels", I think I should try. I'd love to say I'll do this in a quarterly fashion, like businesses do, but like... we're 4-ish months into the year. Quarterly, thirdly. It is what it is.

My 2022 Goodreads Challenge: 50 Books

My 2022 Goodreads Challenge Status As of May 10, 2022: 32 books

Those books:

Tempting the Vicar by Liana LeFey. 3/5. ARC. I recall a very strange oral sex scene and an annoyingly sanctimonious hero, though little else.

In Bed with The Devil by Lorraine Heath. 4/5. The hero kills people! Or does he? She thinks he does. Classic Lorraine.

His Lessons on Love by Cathy Maxwell. 4/5. ARC. Very cute baby. Very incompetent hero. It is actually his baby!!! From his mistress! Gasp!

Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton. 5/5. Pirates and assassins and magical girls and batty old ladies and a "she's wasted, bro" scene. Yes!

The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes by Eva Leigh. 4/5. ARC. A classic "take me on a walk on the wild side, SIR" book. The hero wears eyeliner. She does a little striptease. The word "cunt" is used in a sex scene. God bless.

How to Deceive A Duke by Samara Parish. 4/5. ARC. Second chance romance, a duke with damage, the lady wears pants. Very classic.

The Duke Goes Down by Sophie Jordan. 3/5. Was doing so well until the last minute twist! Do appreciate a hero named Peregrine, and does he EVER go down.

The Rake Gets Ravished by Sophie Jordan. 4/5. ARC. Thank GOD this hero has a fetish for oranges, or this heroine would be fucked. Instead she just gets fucked.

The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham. 5/5. Sexually submissive duke. Whipping houses. Dark secrets. Fuck yes.

The Viscount Made Me Do It by Diana Quincy. 3.5/5. A lady chiropractor makes it sexy.

The Earl I Ruined by Scarlett Peckham. 4.5/5. So you can do that with an apple? Noted.

A Duke, The Spy, An Artist, and A Lie by Vanessa Riley. 2/5. ARC. I don't know what happened here. So much promise!

White Knight Needed by Betina Krahn. 3/5. ARC. The cover fucked, but this book did not.

The Marquess Makes His Move by Diana Quincy. 4/5. ARC. A married heroine! How will they get out of this one??? .... Oh, like that? Bold.

How to Be A Wallflower by Eloisa James. 3/5. ARC. The heroine is heiress to a toilet fortune and I was raised to find toilets distasteful if necessary.

A Relentless Rake by Anna Harrington. 3/5. ARC. This could have been rated higher if not for the slut shaming, whoops!

Crying Wolfe by Kerrigan Byrne. 4/5. ARC. I was a bit thrown by the rough American angle, but then they started fucking and I was significantly more okay with it.

The Heiress Hunt by Joanna Shupe. 3.5/5. A 3.5/5 Joanna Shupe is still better than the best from many other authors. A cute friends to lovers romance, made better by my one true love, the Duke of Fuckwood.

The Lady Gets Lucky by Joanna Shupe. 4/5. A hot hot hot seduction lessons book. The Duke of Fuckwood gets cuck(wood)ed again!!!

The Bride Goes Rogue. 4.5/5. ARC. Fucking killed it, one of the hottest "we'll do shit in a carriage" scenes I've ever read. Not to be cucked this time, the Duke of Fuckwood instead glowers broodingly, and I need to lie down.

Rules for Engaging the Earl by Janna MacGregor. 4/5. ARC. A wounded hero! A single mother! A marriage of convenience! Facesitting!

A Scot is Not Enough by Gina Conkle. 3/5. ARC. Alas, the title was better than the book itself, though I do love the sex scenes.

A Daring Pursuit by Kate Bateman. 4/5. ARC. Classic light enemies to lovers, if it ain't broke don't fix it, there is also a rescue bear.

The Wedding Season by Katy Birchall. 3/5. ARC. Would possibly be rated higher if it was actually a romance.

A Duke for Diana by Sabrina Jeffries. 3/5. ARC. A lot of "oh my"s in this one, and I am still very ambivalent on such as that.

How to Steal A Scoundrel's Heart by Vivienne Lorret. 5/5. ARC. "Fellas is it gay if I cuddle my mistress while she's on her period" the book. Fabulous.

The Lady Loves Danger by Anabella Bryant. 3/5. ARC. And I couldn't help but wonder, would my heart have opened more to this book if it didn't have a cartoon cover?

Lady Derring Takes A Lover by Julie Anne Long. 4/5. One thing I appreciated deeply about this book is that the hero says "oh God, so good" during, because I do love a hardened spy acting like a total simp once he finds the right puss.

Angel in a Devil's Arms by Julie Anne Long. 4/5. The hero literally jumps out from behind walls to be like "BOO" to scare people who conspired to murder him years ago, and I do relate to that.

I'm Only Wicked With You by Julie Anne Long. 4/5. A+ "heroine gives hero a boner by talking about nudity and making eye contact with him while her parents are right there" scene.

Scoundrel of My Heart by Lorraine Heath. 5/5. A bitch did in fact gasp and say "oh my God" aloud during this, and I felt like a whole loser after, but she earned that.

A Night to Surrender by Tessa Dare. 4/5. "I only wish to touch you through your shift" *proceeds to eat her out through her shift*.
