the time Samuel Richardson did a beta read on a Clarissa fanfic

y’all, this last chapter of Natasha Simonova’s Early Modern Authorship and Prose Continuations: Adaptation and Ownership from Sidney to Richardson is my everything.

So okay, this lady wrote an alternate ending for Clarissa where Clarissa doesn’t get raped and also DOESN’T GET MARRIED: “She shou’d in time have recover’d her health, & have liv’d to her hearts Content, a private life, in the neighbourhood of her Dear Miss Howe, & to the Edification of all arround her.” And she told Samuel Richardson about it and he was like “okay okay okay send it my way” and she DID and he BETA’d it for her:

Once Richardson finally received the narrative...the relation between author and reader is temporarily reversed. Now it is Echlin who is aware that her work wants ‘correction’ (5.20), and Richardson who seeks to provide it: ... “You make young Norton happy in both Father and Mother. The Book makes it one of Mrs. Norton’s Merits, that she was a...dutiful Wife to a careless...Husband.”

There is so much more, this is just the smallest glimpse of one of the most charming book chapters that ever I have read.

Okay, that’s the good news, here’s the great news: Palgrave is doing a Black Friday sale from now until November 26th, and you can get this or any Palgrave ebook for $15. You’re welcome.

October was a long, discouraging month for me when it came to reading. I felt like I either hated or loved what I was reading the whole month, and it ping ponged back and forth. And it annoyed me. I like loving books—it brings me joy to read words that I love. So anyway, this has been a frustrating month. But now I get to look at dogs for a bit.

Here’s a reminder of my rating system (puppies!):

0 Dogs Petted: DNF, I couldn’t get through this book. It’s not a good day.

1 Dog Petted: It was an okay day. I mean, I got to pet a dog. But it could have been better.

2 Dogs Petted: A solid effort. May recommend.

3 Dogs Petted: A really good day, tbh. Would recommend willingly to friends and family.

4 Dogs Petted: Best day. Will be recommending to all the people.

4+ Dogs Petted: A unicorn of a day! Pet all the dogs! Read this book!

Run Away with Me by Mila Gray

After reading Come Back to Me and Stay with Me, I was… disappointed by this one. It was like Mila Gray took a vacation for this book. I didn’t have the feelings I had with the first two, and I felt the conflict was… silly? I don’t know. It just didn’t vibe for me. Review to come at some point!

Rating: 2 dogs petted.

Keeping Claudia by Suzanne McKenna Link

I could not. I tried so hard to get into this book and I just could not. There was no tension at all—it was just a relationship that already existed that they were trying to keep going? I don’t know, I DNFed at the 15% mark.

A Messy, Beautiful Life by Sara Jade Alan

I loved this I loved this I loved this! Read my full review here.

All the Wind in the World by Samantha Mabry

I’m still thinking about this book. It’s burned into my brain in the best way. Read my full review here.

Rating: 4 dogs petted.

Make Me Yours by Rebecca Brooks

The best second-chance romance I’ve read in so long. In forever? Perhaps? We’ll have to see. Read my full review here.

Rating: 4 dogs petted.

Sparked by Helena Echlin and Malena Watrous

Nope. Not for me. It wasn’t poorly written or anything, I just didn’t like it. So this one was completely subjective. DNF from me.

Rating: 0 dogs petted.

Carry Me Home by Jessica Therrien

This one was more complicated for me. There are a lot of racial tensions happening in the country right now and when I realized this was about a white girl getting initiated into a Latinx gang in California, I felt funny. I also really really hated all of the narrators, so I DNFed this one too.

Never Apart by Romily Bernard

This would have been a five-star read for me had the ending been different. I really hated the ending. A LOT. And since I can’t separate the ending from the rest of the book, this one is getting a slightly lower rating. Read my full review here.

Rating: 3 dogs petted.

Haven by Mary Lindsey

I tried really hard to set aside my feelings about vampires and werewolves and everything related to Twilight and that era of YA and I read this book all the way through. And guess what? I still hated it. I’m going to be putting this review up ASAP (this week for sure), so you’ll see what I mean then.

Rating: 1 dog petted.

See what I mean? Everything was either a love or a strong dislike this month. I started November off a lot better, so hopefully, a month from now, I won’t feel so frustrated with my reading life.

What did y’all read in October? Anything good? I’m always taking recommendations!

Happy reading!
