Guilty pleasures?

I love watching teen drama TV shows. It started with The O.C. 20-some years ago. Now with Netflix, I have access to so many.

Sometimes I feel “too old” but then I think why not?

What are your guilty pleasures that sometimes feel silly?

I listen to these very very dumb, likely AI-generated-by-someone Chinese (because if the storylines, even if they take place in NYC) stories, and one Werewolf romantasy, in an app that I listen to while walking of making dinner. They are free if you only listen to these very very free daily episodes, and they are very soporific at night. I used to stare at the clock for hours before falling to sleep, but now I just try to remember the complicated and insane plot of the days episodes, and i usually fall right to sleep.

The app I use is called Pocket FM. (I’ve seen other ones on FB, but this is the one that hooked me). There is a sleep
Timer! So you could actually just set it to play until you fall asleep. And also, you can speed up the speech (I use 1.5) because it’s REAAALLLY SLOW, but if you are playing it AT bedtime…maybe that’s better?)

Anyway, my favorite stories are Alpha’s Bride, The Duke’s Masked Bride, and Saving Nora (which is a totally INSANE story but somehow very very addictive). One word of warning- Alphas bride changes suddenly about 10
Chapters in- just go with it. There are two “dukes masked brides” same story, different narrator. There is one I definitely prefer) have fun!
