Victoria Season 2 Episode 1

Yep, the Middle East can be cold, people.

Looks like someone is regretting last season's rant about not nursing.

Why is she in a wheelchair? She gave birth; she didn't get hit by a carriage!

 She could use a little "distress", Albert. And I agree with Duke of Wellington.

Yeah, women's liberation hasn't happened yet, honey. To these guys, you are a walking uterus.

Why did the PM let that little squint tell her what to do? Ad her mother is still annoying.

Ha, love Victoria's saying that God had nothing to do with sex.

Well they do, Albert.

Hello, food poisoning.

Hate to break it to you, honey, but you will have eight more confinements.

It's always weird to come back from vacation, or maternity leave.

Ooh, 19th century intrigue.

Victoria is so good at the put-downs. Listen to Albert.

Victoria. He's being a schmuck about not telling you important information, but on this, he has a point.

What's wrong with the duchess, Peel?

No duckie wallpaper for this baby.

It's Diana Rigg!

Poor girl. Curtsies can't be easy, with or without a corset.

Albert is every idiotic man in history right now.

Damn, Diana Rigg is a party pooper!

Ha. Careful what you wish for.

Hallo the in-laws!

Sorry your girlfriend left. Ernest.

Ew. Cock-a-leekie soup does not look like that.

The Victorian version of sleeping on the couch.

When Ernst becomes the voice of reason, things are bad.

It takes a strong man to openly do needlepoint.

Pretty cake.

Awkward christening.

Harriet's husband is a douche.

Damn. That is one lucky soldier. Poor guy.

Let's hope Parliament is quieter nowadays.

Have you walked around London lately, Victoria? Plumbing is kind of important.

Nice muff.

"Little Vickie" knows how to emote.

Swoon.

Review: A Rake's Guide to Seduction

A Rake's Guide to Seduction A Rake's Guide to Seduction by Caroline Linden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

He sounds more fun than any of these toffs.

Are you inbred, Euston? Get a clue!

Holy crap, two hundred thousand pounds?! No wonder she has got every bachelor in London sniffing at her.

What the heck is he investing in? Is it really worth living like this?

Bertie sounds like he might be in the closet.

Poor thing, she's the odd man out in her own family now.

Is David her half-brother, then?

She burned his love letter?! Gah.

Whoa, that was kinda sexy, Mr. Beecham.

Preach it, Warfield. Rosalind is a snob, and has judged poor Anthony on what she has heard.

Ermm...at least they were done?

The duke and Celia are the only rational people in this family.

He's trying to help you, Percy. You should listen.

Whoo boy. Who knew a foot massage could be so erotic?

Louisa, just because you're unhappy in your marriage doesn't mean everyone else should be as well.

Never go to Vegas, Anthony. Or Monte Carlo.

Is it hot in here? Those two weeks better come fast!

My money's on Ned. Called away "unexpectedly" on an "immediate" matter? That has "setting up an alibi" all over it.

Haha! This is hilarious! Ned was not counting on Celia being so unbiddable.

Go get 'er, Warfield.

Worst father ever.

Review: This Old Cafe

This Old Cafe This Old Cafe by Marci Boudreaux
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The guy told her she had to lose twenty pounds, and she still married him?

So the poor man really is homeless? And a veteran?!

Wait, his uncle lives in the same town, yet he is homeless and eating out of dumpsters? Bastard!

It sounds like everything he did that was "dangerous" was done to help people.

How lovely that they are helping each other. Not just physically, with her providing him with food and shelter while he does manual labor for her. But emotionally as well. They both had such low self-esteem at the beginning.

What's wrong with tile? It looks better.

Haha, Annie is evil!

Is it hot in here? Dayum.

I totally understand why he left.

People are weird. Who wants to eat where you know someone was attacked?

Review: Out of Sight

Out of Sight Out of Sight by Melissa Klein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ooh, a rainfall showerhead. Nice.

Reading is like breathing to me as well.

I hate Tripp.

No news is good news. No evidence means someone's hiding something.

It sounds like she was a target. Could Tripp have put a hit out on her?

I wonder what Hank was diagnosed with.

The woman at the institution is a witch.

He really needs to stop drinking.

Damn. That would be a bad diagnosis for anybody, but especially a pilot.

Patience is a virtue, honey. I know, it's hard.

Jamie is a good person.

That mama's boy definitely either hired someone or set the fire himself.

They're cute together.

Ha, she likes slapping him in the stomach.

Damn, all three brothers have it?

What good are cops if they don't rush to help?

It's like we've entered the Twilight Zone.

I need an epilogue!
