Reading in French -trying to learn the language- and going slow. If anyone knows where to get free copies of vintage romance in French let me know :)

For now… too many characters. Using a cheat sheet to remember who is who.

I though he was hot so I told him he is a piece of crap I despise, a pleb upstart out to steal from the rich and then I called him an embezzler, a thief, a leech etc.

You don't believe I'm absolutely in love with that filthy upstart peasant? But why?

I am fascinated about where this will go.

This must be the worst heroine -as in person- ever written. If the hero is an psycho till now it eludes me covered in layers and layers of her awfulness.

‘Here in Greece,' he continued presently, 'the women are just slaves, while their menfolk are treated like kings.’ Yup. Locked up all day in towers!

Juliet is an idiot. She hits on an adult who tells her off and informs her guardians. He doesn’t go about it well but that’s more or less it. And she hates him for it? I’m sorry, I’d have done the same. Minus kissing the little twerp and using more polite words but I’d have done the same.

A donkey with ribbons? They went to the church on a cart driven by a donkey? Really? I want to cry
