The Earl who Isn't | Courtney Milan
post image

Well, it‘s SNOWING, which seems like a mighty good excuse to tuck up in bed with my kittycorn lamp and a Courtney Milan novel. I got off to a slow start with THE EARL WHO ISN‘T thanks to a couple of busy days, but I‘m past the 50% mark and I hope I‘ve got enough momentum to finish it tomorrow. It‘s often very funny, despite some fraught circumstances on both leads‘ sides. I especially love how Andrew‘s little bro is extremely fifteen years old.

Mr Warren's Profession | Sebastian Nothwell

Not finding this very engaging and wondering if I should bail. @Faranae do you have an opinion?

#DoubleSpin

Faranae I enjoyed it but it's definitely fluffy until it is very not fluffy. It does rely heavily on its tropes, and never quite breaks free of them, so if those early tropes don't work for you and hurt/comfort isn't your thing (which is very much Northwell's main catnip), it's probably best to bail. 5mo
willaful @Faranae I certainly can enjoy it but I don't think I wanna plow though to get there. Thanks for the input. 5mo
Faranae @willaful Happy to help! Also while I was doing yardwork, I thought about how Nothwell is definitely in the school of historical romance who aren't terribly concerned with getting the history right, so the characters' concerns are often much more reflective of what you'd see in a contemporary, unlike say, Aster Glenn Gray, who writes stuff exploring period identity. 5mo
willaful @Faranae I guess they can't all be AGG. 5mo

Reading plans for Orilium this month. Veta Mae is working on year 2 as a scribe.

An interesting historical mystery that presents a fairly superficial view of the challenges faced by LGBTQ people in late 19th Century Chicago. Harriet Morrow has been hired as the first female detective of the Prescott Agency and tasked with locating, Agnes, a missing maid. She meets the fascinating Pearl Bartlett, encounters the Polish community, and is attracted to Barbara Wozniak. First in a series. I hope later books are stronger.

Started #HyggeHourReadathon early tonight- plan to walk near sunset when it‘s cooler. Looks like Poe read himself to sleep! 😂😂#catsoflitsy
There lies an empty bowl that once had peach crisp with whipped cream. Poe likes to lick the whipped cream when i am done. 🍑 🐈😺
