I'm reduced to hate-listening to the audible romance novel I mentioned yesterday.

I swear to god, the pretty pink princess heroine...

 Reads Greek, Latin, French, Italian, Shakespeare, Decartes, the Aenid, Austen,... and loves art, architecture, history and mathematics... and is versed flower arranging, sewing, cookery, and gardening... and is brilliant, humble, demur... and is generous,  kind and selfless... and  is beloved by all servants and in-laws alike (though not her family.  Of course.). .. and is almost preternaturally gifted with animals... AND LITERALLY RESCUES PUPPIES AND DROWNED KITTENS, and is generally -- and in almost every way -- perfect.

And yet...is also the unappreciated ugly duckling to her beautiful, diamond of the first water IDENTICAL TWIN SISTER. I'm not entirely sure how one becomes the ugly duckling to one's very own IDENTICAL twin, but she's managed to do it.

Dear lord, I think I hate her. The 'hero' is still nothing but a distant amalgam of cliches (though he REEKS of sexist bullshit) but on the whole isn't involving enough to drive me to dreams of unicorn goring (though I would not object to it).  The pretty pink princess on the other hand...  Dear lord.

Haven't used it as much as I thought for the lending library books...but it does provide savings for some books (discounted) and free shipping (which is nice).
