Need I say more?

Just give me happy stuff, okay? Yes, yes love hurts & women in love are stoopid & most hot guys are untrustworthy cads. 🤷🏼‍♀️

CatLass007 In Living Color! Awesome choice. Did you watch the competing Super Bowl Halftime show? I think it was 1992. Two snaps, a twist, and a kiss!💋 8mo
TheKidUpstairs Sorry the book was no good, but LOVE your image choice! Three snaps in a zed formation!!! 8mo

A quick, quirky little Trollope. Almost tongue in cheek in tone, and much less a saga than his other novels, this deals with a very strong-willed daughter and a very bad suitor. Being Victorian, her triumph comes at great cost. Not one of his masterpieces, but a fun quick read. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

chris.wolak I haven‘t read Trollope yet. Any recommendations on where I should start? 4y
Lcsmcat @chris.wolak His most known works are the Palliser novels and the Barsetshire novels, but they don‘t have to be read in order to work. I recommend The Eustace Diamonds or The Way We Live Now as good ones to start with, but I haven‘t read one I don‘t like. 4y
chris.wolak Thanks! I‘ll plan on reading at least one this summer. 4y
