Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: Chpt. 50 - Public Access Read-a-Long

171: Razor Blades vs. Blunt Axes - "San Francisco Earthquake 1906" by Kathleen Duey
This episode, yr grls feel the earth move under their feet thanks to SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE 1906 by KATHLEEN DUEY. Sierra, she of the old-fashioned braids and humble dreams, works as maid in the grand Palace Hotel of San Francisco. Joseph Harlan, he of the ranch inheritance and general decency, is staying in The Palace Hotel. Joe is completely smitten with Sierra but she is coming to terms with her crush turning out to be a gold digger. Sierra and Joseph collide just as the Pacific Plate and North Atlantic Plate, and thus find themselves on the greatest adventure known to man. No, not love. Surviving the aftermath of an up to 8.3 on the richter scale earthquake in turn-of-the-century San Fran. Remember when men were men and young adult fiction was for young adults? And also historical? Have we expanded the possibilities to the point of choking out skilled, professional writing? You know what they say. If the tent's a-quakin', look out for the ensuing fires.
Re!mance: Episode 163 Hart And Mercy By Megan Bannen
Taking your back to a criminally underrated book and episode: Saddle up the Equimare or fuel up the Autoduck - in "HART AND MERCY" by MEGAN BANNEN, Marshall Hart's desperate plea for companionship transcends realms, landing in the hands of his nemesis, the super hot and sassy Undertaker Mercy. Amidst a backdrop of longing and rivalry reminiscent of "You've Got Mail" and "The Shop Around the Corner," Hart and Mercy reach out into the void for the connection they're missing, finding solace in anonymous correspondence. Dive into this poignant fantasy romance to unravel the depths of empathy, the allure of escapism, and the tingles of a country dance. Plus there are zombies. Don't miss out, it's a heart-tugger!

Well, well, well. Guess who got discovered. Mmhm. And guess who continues to be overly optimistic? You got it. And guess who is kind of a classist jerk to their domestic workers? BINGO. You know what, maybe just sit this chapter out. You already know what's up.
