Also their double endentre of carte blanche is cracking me up.

It's basically in her wording, is when a man offer a woman what he wants all the pleasures of marriage but none of the responsibilities.



Carte blanche = premarital sex. Apparently. LOL

Maman

Well at least the french seems correct to me. Granted it's formal. My French Canadian relatives usually would say mama informally.

Keep in mind, that I haven't spoken semi-fluent french since I was around 6 years old. lol

Oops, I forgot to read this weekend again. -__- I plan to read all next week, within reason. :D

Buddy Read with Tessa :)

Buddy Read with Nenia. :)

This was REALLY good. Like I would give it 6 stars if I could. This is going to be a hard review to write, because I don't want to give anything away. THERE BETTER BE A SEQUEL AND I WANT IT NOW!!

This was such a mixed bag book for me. Meh.

I'm almost done. YAY. This has been an intense crazy book. It kinda emotionally exhausted me while reading it, but I want to finish this tonight (maybe tomorrow, if it gets to be too much).

This is getting really interesting.

Lurving this one so far! :D

Just finished reading about the first murder trial. It was intense.

Yes, because feminism is so funny har har har *rolls eyes*

I'm about to skim....

I'm really not liking most of these characters. *sad face*

Yes, because all Hispanics are janitors, Bitsy. WTF? *Side-eye*

*side-eyeing Jane for her racism*

Some homophobia, Davey, really? * judges* I was giving her some passes, because she has to learn, but this is a non-pass issue for me.

I'm really not sure how I feel about Bitsy and Walter. You can also tell this book is set in the 80's. Lol

Bitsy, you need to calm the fuck down. Lol

I'm kinda weirded out that there seems to be A LOT of focus on the victim's looks. How pretty and beautiful they were. They were beautiful, but stop with the most emphasis on that fact, please? It's really creepy/problematic, imho.

I love how there is so much depth to her novels that I did not notice as a kid, but I see as an adult. :)

Awe, that's sad. One of the victim's mothers had to go to the hospital after finding out, because her inability to accept the death of her child. She had a breakdown. That is so sad. :(

This book is quite sensationalized (like watching a murder documentary on tv). Quite graphic descriptions of the victim's bodies and the assaults on them, including rape. So trigger warning.

I'm going to have a read-a-thon tonight. Not an official one, though you are welcome to join me lol .

I have been neglecting my reading, so I want to do some no-pressure reading. I might take breaks to do other things but I want to focus on reading tonight. :D

I saw this at the library, and of course, the cover looked amazing and I had to check this one out. Hope it's as good as it looks. :D

And done. This was an odd one. :P
