#algorithms have surely got to get better than this.... 🤦♂️
I'm searching #AbeBooks for a title called "Dictionary of Old Occupations", but the closest match it can find is a #MillsandBoon book called "The Sheikh's Love Child"......
HUH????
I'm writing a list of the #books that have had some kind of impact on me over my 35 years.
This lead to 30 minutes of furious searching online but I've *finally* found the title of the Mills & Boon book I remember reading as a 13 year old at my Nan's house! I read a few but The Price of a Bride by Michelle Reid really stuck with me for it's uncomfortable "sold by my father to a man who seems to hate me" plot 😅
I really needed a quick, easy book to read and #SycamoreGap by #LJRoss fits the bill. The 2nd installment in the #DCIRyan series. Slightly better than the first, less of the cringe #MillsAndBoon romance, and slightly less preposterous. A standard police procedural detective story that crams every cliche in and romps along at a terrific pace. As in the first book the crimes aren't fully resolved. Can I be bothered to read all 20 books (and counting) to find out who is behind it all? Probably not.
Sarah Ferguson had a tough time in life,
Her romantic relationship was rife,
Her world was shaken, shattered and broken
But her spirit would never be stolen
Writing in Mills & Boon she found solace
Escaping to heroines like a princess
Her story of courage will never be forgotten

Romance novel fans on TikTok have invented new hashtags and more than doubled sales of this genre of books. 📚
"'Pride and Prejudice' is now categorised as #enemiestolovers. As P.D. James, a novelist, once observed, Jane Austen novels are merely 'Mills & Boon written by a genius'."
