The one with the murder

Sep 17, 2018 13:34


I read books about murder and books that gave me homicidal urges.

Murder solving with your asshole dead husband:

Maggie Robinson: Nobody’s Sweetheart Now

Lady Adelaide is happily widowed (her husband crashed his car, in which he was with mistress #6712) and gives a house-party. Then a) a murder happens and b) her husband’s ghost turns up and ( Read more... )

#6712, books

The books might be horrible, but your report about them is a delight. Gotta go and continue laughing now!

ACCIDENTAL MRPEG. OMGH YOU CANT TRUST ANYONE THESE DAYS JESSSUS CHRIST.

I am mad on your behalf at the terrible Rose/Maggie book because that one HAD POTENTIAL??? MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE BETWEEN LESBIANS OR BISEXUAL WOMEN??? LIKE YEAHH??? But not like that URGH!!

Me: Is she horrible because she’s a woman and this is a m/m romance?
Oh GOTT, wenn es einen trope gibt, den ich WIRKLICH gern aus dem kollektiven Gedächtnis der Menschheit löschen wollen würde, dann ist es dieser OAHHHH. Taucht der Dämon nochmal auf? IST DER DÄMON DIE SCHWESTER UND WIRD SIE DESWEGEN TOTAAAL GERECHTERTIGTER WEISE UMGEBRACHT??? KÖNNEN WIR DIE MENSCHHEIT EVENTUELL NEU STARTEN???

Book: I am about a lecturer necromancer
Me: this is so up my alley you don’t even know
OH REALLY. DA BIN ICH ABER ÜBERRASCHT. :)))

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I HAVE TRUST ISSUES

MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE BETWEEN LESBIANS OR BISEXUAL WOMEN??? LIKE YEAHH???
HOW EXACTLY CAN YOU MESS UP SOMETHING SO GLORIOUS THAT BADLY??? I MEAN I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THIS CONCEPT WOULD AT WORSE BE...OK BUT NO IT WAS TERRIBLE.

Die Schwester ist eifersüchtig weil sie die einzige in der Familie ohne magische Kräfte ist. Deswegen hat sie ihn auch immer verprügelt. Und dann habe ich das Buch aufgegeben weil ich noch spannende Bedienungsanleitungen zu lesen hatte...

I AM FULL OF SURPRISES

I compliment you on your book trashing skills that make these scripts entertaining even if they come after fresh off the boat screencaps :'DD How am I ever supposed to discourage you from reading garbage, like that?

Thank you. But you should be a reasonable adult(TM) anyway and stop me from making stupid decisions.

Not to lessen your noble sacrifice of sanity, but I say it was absolutely worth it, because this post is hilarious. I don't even know what to make of the fact that MPreg is now a thing in books :') I recently stumbled across published m/m manga with Omegaverse and MPreg (detailling in the preface that it's a Western trope) and I'm :') But. Books. I'm. :')

The script format for that second book is A+ also.

Also, what became of the demon in the end? Was it the non-existent editor?

You know when I inevitably snap and go on a killing spree with a sharp-edged paperback my defence will be 'But all my friends think I'm hilarious' :P

LALA I CANNOT HEAR YOU. I DID NOT HEAR THIS

I never finished the book. It's possible that the demon died from boredom because everybody had forgotten about him

I have inherited boxes of yarn, so I have something on hand to distract you should you go on your murdering spree. For the time being, I do enjoy the hilarity.

LALA I CANNOT HEAR YOU. I DID NOT HEAR THIS
THIS HAPPENED TWICE. ONE OF THEM JUST GOT A DRAMA CD WHICH IS OFTEN A TINY STEP TOWARDS AN ANIMATION PROJECT IN THE FUTURE. YOU CAN'T RUN, YOU CAN'T HIDE;;

That's unfortunate.

I WILL NEED THAT DISTRACTION SOON

Though now I don't feel like murdering but more like jumping off a cliff or so...
