Calendar Girl: Volume Two
Calendar Girl: Volume Two | Audrey Carlan
8 posts | 17 read | 6 to read
Unwilling escort Mia Saunderss journey continues in the second anthology of the Calendar Girl series! In the next three months, Mia heads to Boston, Oahu, and Washington DC. In April, she poses as girlfriend to philandering Mason Murphy, a professional baseball player who needs a better image, only to find hes not at all what she expected. May finds Mia turning up the heat with Samoan model and fire-dancer Tai Niko as she participates in a swimsuit campaign designed to prove that beauty really does comes in all sizes. Mia rounds out June as the arm candy for Warren Shipley, a member of the wealthy one percenters. Although shes pretending to be a gold-digger, Warren turns out to have a heart of gold. However, his devastatingly handsome son, Aaron, a California Senator, is nowhere near as kind.

This was fun and short. I needed a light read and this was exactly that.

Finished the second today and thought I read the series til the end.

I often have a problem with series. If they are planned as series, I often think, that there isn't happening enough in one book, but if a series was planned as a stand alone, the second book isn't that great.

I like the idea, that every month Mia visits different men and different situations, but the last 'month' in this book, was a bit too much... Let's have a look on book 3

After finishing the first book within 30 hours, I started the second one in the afternoon.

Instead of relaxing my body come up with a bad headache. So happy, that I can go to work tomorrow again and I don't even feel relaxed...

I'm halfway through the series now, and while I didn't enjoy Vol 2 quite as much as Vol 1 I still had a ton of fun. I love the found family Mia's built, and I get a kick out of how she pushes her clients' lives on track.

Downsides: Carlan still struggles with mid-sentence tense shifts, there're plenty of narrative redundancies, and she often describes POC characters' skin in terms of food. Not cool.

TW for attempted rape in the June story.

I can't deliver the promised hair pictures because even after a second coat the purple dye barely worked (I do NOT recommend Garnier's Deep Lilac) and my hair looks generally terrible today. I'm depressed over the whole thing. This purple-and-red look was supposed to be something celebratory and special, but it ended up being a waste of time and Optimum points.

I'm trying to distract myself with books and nature.

Bradleygirl I have no context but that's a bummer, I'm sorry 🤗 6y
Amabear If your looking for bright dye try manic panic, or attic Fox! 6y

xicanti @Amabear I've tried to avoid brands that require you to bleach first. The sample results on this dye's box showed I'd get exactly the colour I wanted when I layered it over my existing hair, but apparently that was all lies. Sigh. 6y
Amabear @xicanti what color hair do you have? 6y
xicanti @Amabear until this weekend it was red-tinged blonde with dark blonde roots. Now it's darker all over, which I like, but the parts I wanted to be purple are more purplish-brown with some blonde poking through. It's not a TERRIBLE colour--I actually really like the effect from the front--but it's nothing like what the box promised. 6y
Amabear @xicanti so your hair was colored before? That could have had something to do with it not turning out as expected. I‘m glad it‘s growing on you though! 6y

Mia ya pasó tres meses llenos de lujo y pasión, saltando de ciudad en ciudad. Ahora le toca Boston, Hawái y Washington D. C, en donde, junto con Mason, Tai y Shipley, se adentrará en el mundo de las wags, conocerá el valor de la amistad y vivirá experiencias sexuales que la llevarán hasta límites insospechados. Aunque Mia no puede olvidar a Wes, sabe que su viaje debe continuar. Pero algo le dice que sus caminos volverán a cruzarse... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm thinking about adding this book to my #readathon stack. I loved the first book, so I'm curious to see if this one is just as good 🤓📖

Three obvious spelling mistakes!

Texreader @Magoo I hate that!!! 8y
Bookartbookmarks @Texreader I don't know how things work in the publishing business, but this is a super popular book. You think they'd have people telling them early on and they could fix it after awhile? 8y
Texreader @Magoo It seems I find them in every book I read almost always near the end almost as if the proofreader got tired. I believe every book (magazine and newspaper) needs a few proofreaders. 8y
