#WhatchaReading ? I finished the most waste of time old Harlequin, The Wild Side by Diana Hamilton. One of those awful misogynistic old skool books that's pretty fun if you're in the right mood -- but then there's the most lukewarm ending! Why did I suffer through all that angst?! Where is my payoff?!

@lenoreo @willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks and we won't mention the bodice rippers/rape culture ... yes, I loved those books too, we were conditioned to - Luke and Laura anybody?

@Eve @lenoreo I still find them cathartic reads at times, though my tolerance is definitely not what it once was.

@willaful I have to be in a very specific headspace for them, for real.

And even then, it can be iffy whether I can finish them.
