Kingdom of Knuffel

That does sound like an interesting plot!

My trashy romance is about a lady who gets framed for murder. They're about to hang her, but then this guy says he'll marry her. So they get married, and then there's passion lol. But there is also a lot of other stuff going on, so it's not just passion, and I really like historical fiction.

Sanssouci, that sounds interesting, indeed!

Alice, I set my goal to 20 and I really wanted to finish the Russian HP2 (slooowly progressing) and one Shakespeare play. So yea, I need to read more... But the stuff I read is for university and in the end I don't want to read in order to relax from reading (if it makes sense :D).

52 books is awesome, jacob!

I'm not really sure. The book starts with her about to be hanged. She's saying she's innocent. And they're like, "Well, we don't believe you, so we're going to hang you. Unless of course, someone wants to marry you instead..." So then this guy is like, "I'm big, and oh so masculine, but I can't abide seeing a woman getting hanged. So I'll marry her." And everyone is like, "Ok, it's a wedding instead of a hanging then! See you later, Mr and Mrs!" lol. But then it talks about some people in town being mean to her because of the whole murder thing, and her making friends, and (some later in the book spoilers)

I don't remember specifically (I don't think I set a specific goal actually ) but I think I only read about 5 books last year, maybe a bit more, and i've definitely read more than that this year. I read The Maze Runner trilogy in January so i'd almost completed my goal in the first month of the year

I picked it up because the premise was incredible: a professor who's spent his life trying to prove that vampires were real is transported to Manhattan of 1929 with his assistant where they end up in the middle of vampire-gangster wars and have to survive and get back, and their feeling bloom.

it ended up being not what I expected, and I was frustrated with most of the book. now I want to write about a professor and his assistant who deal with the supernatural but in the right way (how dare I)


have fun!

If you write that, I want to read it!

(I've always wondered why novels with supernatural long-lived species don't mention the problem of pesky historians and students constantly buzzing around trying to interview them)

Relatives were fun. We even talked books, a bit, now I come to think on it.

Ghost - that is great! It's nice to see one can achieve more than actually intended :)

Alice - Actually no. As I don't have any literary class anymore (only had two during my bachelor, thank god) I don't read fiction. It's all scientific/research papers or books.
