Coryne Hall recently released a book titled ‘Rasputin’s Killer and His Romanov Princess,’ and it’s been my highly anticipated read of the year. In fact, I’ve eagerly awaited its release ever since I first heard murmurs about it.

To my knowledge, there are two English-published biographies about Prince Felix Youssoupoff: Greg King’s biography from 1996 and Christopher Dobson’s from 1989. However, over the past twenty years, a wealth of information has emerged from various Russian archives and the families’ personal collections.

This newfound information has not only shifted perspectives on the events leading to the downfall of the Romanov Dynasty but has also brought enigmatic figures, previously footnotes in biographical books, into the spotlight.

One such figure is Irina, who was vaguely addressed in Felix’s previous biographies. Perhaps this was due to the scarcity of information about her. However, in this book, we are presented with enough fragments to grasp the nature of Irina’s character and the less-than-ideal life she led, not just after the revolution but before. The book also paints a clear picture of her complex relationships with various members of her immediate and extended family.

The same can be said for Felix. While we may be aware of his love for his mother, their relationship is more intricate than many realize. Felix’s adoration for his mother is unquestionable, yet it becomes apparent that he struggled to meet her expectations, especially after the death of his brother, Nicholas. The book also delves into Felix’s previous flirtations and romances, particularly his relationship with Grand Duchess Elena.

Coryne Hall skillfully provides an updated biography that touches on the known facts while addressing fresh revelations that have emerged through personal correspondence. Naturally, not every aspect could be covered, but at its core, Hall does a wonderful job presenting Felix and Irina and their unconventional yet resilient relationship.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all readers. Given the limited availability of English biographies on Felix and Irina, this is a valuable addition to any collection of Romanov-related books.

Lan Zhan, Lan Wangji, Hanguang-jun took a single look at Wei Wuxian, this strong, badass, seemingly-alpha-coded-looking man, just dripping with power and darkness, with a wicked smirk on his face, death in his eyes and dead women basically clinging to his robes, and said "I'mma top that". And he did.

And you know what? I respect that.

My own little blurb about writing reader into Season 2 Episode 4 | The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Book Of Carol.

Gif from: theewalkindead on tumblr

!!! POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW !!!

“Go! Go!” You yell to Carol, waving her off, “I got these three!”

She nods, running off into the building. You let out a grunt as you kick the one walker back, stabbing the other with your knife.

The third comes up and you duck, spinning around to knock its leg out from under it, finish it off with your knife to its skull.

The third one falls to the ground, dead, and you take off running in the direction Carol ran.

“Hey, hey we gotta-“ you freeze in your tracks, seeing Daryl standing there was a shock. You almost felt like you were hallucinating, “W-wha-“

Daryl steps away from Carol and meets you halfway.

You fall into the embrace you never thought you’d feel again, but this moment right here, right now, is what made you happy as hell that you held onto that little sliver of hope.

“What are ya’doin’ here?” Daryl leans back, cupping your face with his hands as he sniffles, “Oh my god.” He pulls you back in, “Are y’good?”

He leans back out to examine the gash on your cheek but you swat his hands away, “I should be askin’ you that.” You reach up, running your thumb gently over his beat up face, “I knew you were still alive.”

“Yeah, yeah, m’still kickin’.” He shakes his head, quickly turning his attention to the gunshots growing closer, “C’mon.”

He looks back at Carol while giving your hand a squeeze, “We gotta move. Now.”

♡ ༘*.ﾟ I've always been a bit shy on interacting on tumblr so if you are a simblr account please like or reblog to help me find some moots on here! ♡

a little bit about me ♡₊˚ ・₊✧ I'm 24-years-old and I'm currently a university student studying creative therapy! when I'm not studying I'm either reading, painting, crafting or recording videos for my Youtube channel ! I'd love to see you there ^^ I live with my partner and two adorable kittens, Luna and Nova ♡

I'll be sharing mostly sims content on here, my personal gameplay, pretty screenshots and pictures from my let's plays. But I might also share my occasional art projects or something about the books I'm reading!

well I think that's all for now, I can't wait to share my content with you and engage with the community here on a regular basis!

♡ Love, Alice

thinking about how dally died with the shops money in his jacket pocket. the $13 dollars in his pocket still hanging in the inside of his jacket when he rolled over, dead, in the middle of the street.

thinking about how the cops reached and searched him while he lay on the ground, sticking their hands into each and every pocket, pulling out Two-Bit's switchblade, some cigarette stubs, two crumbled dollar bills, and his fake ID.

thinking about how two bit and steve stood watching, looking at the cops reach and pull from a lifeless body as if he had something against them. as if he could jump off the pavement and lift the heater off the ground and point it at them again.

thinking about the way they spoke over the radio to one another, confirming that the gun wasn't loaded, how there was nothing that could have harmed them if he had pulled the trigger.

thinking about how the young seventeen year old lay on the ground dead because they pulled their trigger instead.

thinking about how dallas winston died because he wanted to be. how he died, not thinking about the funeral that would be held for Johnny in the following days, not thinking about the clothing he had left at his room at Buck’s, not thinking about how he never got the chance to go back to the curtis house after the rumble.

never thinking, but always knowing he would get what he wanted.

So unfortunately I've discovered that I am the type of person to read The Great Gatsby for fun. However, I think I'm less pretentious than other people you might find who also read it for fun. Because I then follow it up by writing fanfiction about The Great Gatsby for fun.
