Fanny Hill, my lovelies, was a free book I came across on my e-reader. It was written in England in 1748. I figured, English 1748 … might be a nice historical read. Or then again … DEFINITELY not!
I mean, wowzers, color me surprised. Honestly, I did not know novels of this sort were allowed to be published in those buttoned-up days {perhaps they were not so buttoned-up??}.

This is by far the dirtiest book I have ever read. I should've been repulsed by it, but it was such great fun.
One of the dirtiest books I've read 😂

**A Banned Book**
When reading Fanny Hill I had no trouble understanding why it had once been banned. The story and plot were a quite thin, but my oh my was it steamy!
