so today i was really bored and looked through the romances i have shelved. despite my claims to the contrary, i read some pretty trashy stuff sometimes. i don't always LIKE it, but i can't seem to help myself, either.
first, you have your
TRASHY books.
these are books that people make fun of you for reading sometimes, or that get you some side-eyes at bookstores, but they have a lot of redeemable factors and really are quite good for the most part.
then you have your
TRASHIER books.
these are books that may be badly written in parts but they are basically crack for the brain. again, some redeemable stuff, but you'll get a lot of side-eye action and people will make comments like, "ooh, that one's pretty steamy," or "my mother loves those bodice-rippers too."
finally, you've got your
TRASHIEST.
why on earth did you read this book? was it a dare? the sequel to a book that wasn't QUITE this trashy? or maybe you're into those bodice-rippers, too. these books definitely put the 'guilt' into guilty pleasures.
annnnnd, that's your creature feature for the day!
happy reading!
