FMK #3: I heard there was some real kinky stuff in these, y'all*

Okay! Now that I have gone through all the paperbacks and have a better idea of what I actually have, this should be a fun one. :D

Results from last week's FMK.

How FMK works: I am trying to clear out my unread books piles. So there is a poll, in which you get to pick F, M, or K. F means I should spend a night of wild passion with the book ASAP, and then decide. M means I should continue to commit to a long-term relationship of sharing my bedroom with it. K means it should go away, immediately and with prejudice. Anyone can vote, you don't have to actually know anything about the books.

I am going to start officially closing the poll and picking winners on Friday nights because I don't always have time on Sunday to read a whole novel. (although not actually closing it probably, people can still vote.)

Link to long version of explanation (on previous poll)

I started Outlander and couldn't get past the first chapter. The main character was like "but WHY do I HAVE TO stay in an adorable b&b in a remote Scottish highland village just because my BORING HUSBAND wants to do POINTLESS HISTORICAL RESEARCH?? Ugh so boring my life sucks"... I just went, yeah, I am probably not the demographic for this. And it wasn't compellingly written enough to overcome that, so I gave myself permission to stop.

I have to say that staying in an adorable B&B in the Scottish highlands and doing historical research sounds like Paradise to me!

Likewise. Claire (Clare? I don't remember and I've read a lot of Gabaldon's doorstoppers) takes a specific kind of person to be relatable in the beginning.

And then comes the m/f domestic discipline and m/m rape.

Oh, yuck, yeah. And let's not forget the Depraved Bisexual (which the rapist is supposed to be).

Ikr? Willfully-historically-ignorant-person-gets-schooled-by-time-travel CAN be an interesting trope, but I just wasn't feeling it in this case.
