ScandalousSaturday

My Lady Scandalous: The Amazing Life and Outrageous Times of Grace Dal | Jo Manning

This is a marvellously illustrated and “richly raucous” biography of Regency-era courtesan, Grace Dalrymple.

She was mistress to Lord Cholmondeley, the most infamous peer of the time whose “secret perfections” were reputed to inspire “female enthusiasm”. 😂😂

The Bolter: Idina Sackville - The woman who scandalised 1920s Society and became White Mischief's infamous seductress | Frances Osborne

Scandal upon scandal. For instance, Sackville was married five times between 1913 and 1945! Highly recommended read 👍

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Have you read Anna Karenina? 7y

mrp27 @Joyfulmimi No. I'm totally intimidated by Tolstoy but I've seeming several versions of the movie and I really like the story. 7y

DrSabrinaMoldenReads The reason I asked is that I loved it and did not like Madame Bovary. I recommend that you give it a try. @mrp27 7y

mrp27 @Joyfulmimi He is definitely on my bucket list to read! 7y

The Shape of Water | Guillermo Del Toro, Daniel Kraus

Excited this DVD arrived ahead of schedule! Looking forward to a story some might consider #scandaloussaturday, with #pleasureandpain, #passion, and #green everywhere. 💚 Maybe not the #bestmancharacter, but the best fish-man character since the Creature From the Black Lagoon. 😄 Hope he won't be looked at under the #🔬! 😱

Young Jane Young | Gabrielle Zevin

A Congressional intern falls for her boss, and when the secret of their affair is exposed to the public, she finds herself judged and scorned. An interesting look at scandals (political) and its victims.

The Infamous Miss Rodriguez | Lydia San Andres

I just heard about this book yesterday, from a Book Riot video recommending romances by or about people of color. The actual book isn't in the Litsy system so I tagged another by the same author. This is supposed to recall Pride & Prejudice, so it should be fun! #ScandalousSaturday #MagicalMarch @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Wow!! I‘m going to have to look for it!! 7y

MallenNC @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Here's a link to the video that talks about it, for more description since it isn't in the database. https://bookriot.com/watch/read-harder-challenge-romance-novels-by-or-about-a-pe... 7y

vkois88 Oh, that sounds good!!! 7y
