Amanda and I (and a not insignificant stash of alcohol) went to Fifty Shades of Grey so you don’t have to. We take our jobs seriously here at the Pink Palace of Bitchery. We will also turn your attention to the $50 Not 50 Shades campaign, which is aimed at raising money for battered women. Shelters in your area would be delighted with any money or items like tampons and maxipads, toothpaste, baby food, and … Continue reading Fifty Shades of Grey
WE’RE BACK Previously: Douche Number 2 got killed, everyone is upset. In a train year, Jarvis is meeting with some shady as fuck people, with a briefcase of money (with $1K bills) to get a “package.” They try to get more money out of him, which a third loser tosses a ball at a dark wall to pass the time. The ball fails to come back, and it’s Peggy, who beats the shit out him … Continue reading Agent Carter Episode 4: The Blitzkreig Button
So I started reading this because someone who shall remain nameless but who’s name rhymes with D-Ellie posted the original cover art, which involves titty-fucking basically and I had to read it. What better way to get back into the Old School Groove than to read me some crazysauce Lindsey? Spoiler: there’s no actual titty-fucking in this book. So we start with the introduction of Slade Holt, who’s been living with the Apache since his … Continue reading Tender is the Storm by Johanna Lindsey
Peggy gives us a moment to catch up on everything that’s happening- she loved and lost Steve, works for the SSR, Howard Stark asks her to find his stuff and clear his name, leaves her a butler (HEY JAMES D’ARCY HEY) and time is running out. At Peggy’s New Apartment Building of Well Defended Virginhood, a guy watched ominously from the shadows while Peggy starts researching the symbol James Frain left her. This is pre-Google, … Continue reading Agent Carter, Episode 3: Time and Tide
“Now Is Not The End” We start with Peggy remembering Steve getting fridged to further Peggy’s story, and reminding us of the awesomeness that is Peggy Carter, and how lucky we are to get this on our television screens. Also some gratuitous Chris Evans, that adorable meatball. She is upset, so she makes some tea. She is British, after all, and reads a newspaper article about Howard Stark being summoned to Congress to explain how … Continue reading Agent Carter, Episodes 1 and 2
There’s been quite a few people asking for non-noble, non-titled heroes, and then Romain gives us a “non-titled, poorish Anglo-Indian” hero who is a little bit snarky and long suffering. This was delightful. Augusta Meredith is the heiress to a beauty products company, and she’s got more than two braincells to rub together, and she uses them to get her company board to do what she wants them to do, all while making them think … Continue reading Secrets of a Scandalous Heiress by Theresa Romain
I know why I started reading this book. I have a really scary pile of ARCs and this was one I wanted to read and then send it out in to the world. I like Henley and her habit of slathering on crazysauce sprinkles on top of the crazy sauce fondant covering the crazy sauce cake (Remember that time where the villain got choked to death by leeches? That was awesome). What I don’t know … Continue reading Lord Rakehell by Virginia Henley
