He’s literally my favorite Kleypas hero. I just LOVE him and he is too underrated for my taste!

As many times as I have read this book, a scene like that is not coming back to me…but it IS the one where my dude has a boner on page one. And he’s just met her.

I met Cartel tonight, got to tell them about the half of a drumstick I have from their show back in 2009, heard Chroma played in its entirety, and collected a 2025 Cartel drumstick story (this time, one pegged me in the forehead!!! but I didn’t catch it). Successful evening indeed!!!

Also…I might have collected a lot of book boyfriends, but when it comes down to it…Sir Ross Cannon is my Book Husband. Madame Kleypas did her big one with him!!!

THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS
Screenshot of Audible, showing the original cover of Lady Sophia’s Lover by Lisa Kleypas. The cover is a deep purple, and on the right side of the audiobook cover, there is a white woman with blond hair and a silvery-blue dress. She is leaning back into someone, her eyes closed. Behind her, mostly obscured from view, is a taller white man. He has an arm around her neck, resting across her collarbones. There is a small bit of his face in profile as he turns his face against hers.

Nothing lifts me more than another audio reread of Lady Sophia’s Lover. Forever grateful that I bought my copy on Audible before the updated release/new narration.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

One of my favorite things about Angel (the series) is how unexpectedly funny it is at times. I remember thinking that the tone would be super serious because Angel was such a serious character (when he’s With Soul), so the humor that weaves throughout the series was SUCH a pleasant surprise!

Trans rights protect EVERY GENDER. Just like the rights black people fought for protect EVERY RACE. Including white people! Y'all are enjoying the spoils of someone else's hard work every damn day.

Every time the chocolate syrup goes sliding down Gary Oldman’s forehead, I laugh.

Skills was also just such a dynamic character, which I think we genuinely owe to Antwon’s portrayal of him. The ad-libbing of the dialogue, his comedic timing, the easy bond he had with everyone…one of my top favorite television characters for sure.

We also do not sing Skills’s praises enough for my liking because he was GENUINELY the best friend Lucas could’ve had. He supported the shit out of his endeavors but when Luke fucked up, he never hesitated to say whatever it was that Luke needed to hear. He called for him to be better.

Just like I can acknowledge that Lucas was absolute SHIT at following his heart, which meant he broke many in his search to be honest with himself. But it doesn’t negate the fact that he was an incredible friend, son, and brother.
