I have a soft spot for bounty hunters and space. Put those two together and you have a recipe for magic. This novel was exactly up my alley and I loved everything about it. After reading Katherine McIntyre’s Stolen Petals, I was jonesing for another story similar. This was a perfect match. With a fierce female lead and a deliciously devious male lead, the couple burned up the pages. It’s not erotic however, having a plot interesting enough to keep my attention when they weren’t setting the book on fire.

Overall, the novel reads quick, but it is rather enjoyable. If you like strong female bounty hunters and the men who love them, I recommend it.

2009 | Drama
A deeply weird and genuinely erotic little curio where a pre-𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 Robert Pattinson plays... er- *checks notes* Salvador Dali (donning all kinds of ridiculous wardrobe choices) who has a lot of gay sex and angrily paints all while spouting nonsensical metaphorical dialogue in a humorously cartoonish Spanish accent. Needed to be a little more controlled, leaner - I zoned out during at least one third of the talking bits, but it looks pretty! Not too shabby, I'll happily take this artsy oddball over most of the recycled biopic dumps up for awards contention today. Pattinson's full commitment to throwing himself at the wall for roles was evident even this early in his career.

"Bad Behavior is largely about sex, but it’s not cheesy or cheap. In this book of short stories, Gaitskill writes about women in the sex industry, people in power play relationships, S&M, and the general psychology of people who engage in so-called “bad behaviors” in a way that’s honest, sometimes brutal, and always beautiful. (For example, the darkly erotic film Secretary was adapted from a story in the book.) I first read this book around the time that I started Slutever, my blog about sexuality that still exists today, and it gave me confidence that writing about sex was a legitimate pursuit, and could be seen as intelligent, meaningful, and maybe even poetic."
