"Elizabeth’s relationship with Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, was perhaps the most important in her life. The savage possessiveness with which she wrote of him - ‘a creature of our own’, as she described him, with all the imperiousness of the royal ‘we’ - in no way diminished his importance in her eyes. For a woman so short of surviving blood relations, he was the nearest thing she had to family."
— Sarah Gristwood, Elizabeth and Leicester: The Truth about the Virgin Queen and the Man She Loved.

I really should stop making my blood boil over tiktoks where a person spreads bullshit about a writer I know everything about or oversimplifies something about said writer to make it “more pop”…but I won’t...

i have just finished Honey Honey by aeoneskova on ao3 and i think it is the BEST fic i have ever read
marlene is my absolute favourite and there is such a lack of her pov in fics (not hating ik i could write one if i’m that desperate) that this was just so incredibly beautiful to me. and remus being my other favourite this was just perfect.
the writing was amazing and everything felt so real like the relationships were real, difficult, but ultimately beautiful to read. it was heartbreaking and hopeful.
it is not something i would usually read im a non-magic au or long hogwarts fic girl where they are all just together like uni vibes but this was… ugh… i don’t want to say perfect again but it just was!!
here’s the link i urge you to go and read it. there is very heavy themes as can be expected but it is all very well tagged and warned

@aeoneskova thank you for writing this

The Hardest Reading Challenge - Non U.S / U.K. / CAN (#1)
Going through my TBR for this challenge really highlighted how U.S.-centric my reading is, so I'm hoping to branch out to a more world-wide reading range in the future. The first book I found to fulfill a non U.S. / U.K. / CAN setting or author home country is Icon and Inferno, the second book in the Stars and Smoke series by Marie Lu. I received an early paperback copy of Stars and Smoke earlier this year (2024) from BookishFirst and it became one of my favorite YA reads so far. The first installment has a large part of the plot take place in London, England, but Icon and Inferno follows (now full) secret agent Sydney Cossette and international pop sensation Winer Young to Singapore in order to foil an assassination attempt on the United States president. While I can't say much due to spoilers, the book is full of twists and turns, surprises that made my head spin, and reveals that I called from early on but loved the follow-through for. I was originally under the impression this would be a duology, but Marie Lu definitely leaves the ending open for more of this duo's adventures. I, for one, hope to see more of them soon. Final rating: 4/5

Actually I must resign to the fact that The Country Wife (1675) by William Wycherley is unfortunately hilarious
#ive read almost all of it since noon#it's a quick read. i only have act v left#first i must say. harry horner is a bisexual icon#secondly i am upset that a man who trashed the legacy of aphra behn could almost equal her in wit#at least just judging by this one play. now this shit is raunchy#im still not as familiar with restoration theater as i am the elizabethan/jacobean eras but like? how is it that plays by women seemed#to get the greater criticism for being bawdy in the restoration era. oh my GOD wycherley#no but it is funny it is really really funny#tales from diana#the editor of this 1959 riverside edition of restoration plays. john harold wilson. he's kind of hilarious#i mentioned him in the tags of a post i reblogged about aphra behn the other day. how he called mary pix and delarivier manley#poetasters of the post-restoration decline in theater... that guy#in his introduction to the country wife he holds no punches for wycherley sdlfasdf#after talking about his four successful plays he says:#'he married unwisely; fell out of favor at court; spent seven years in prison for debt; and wasted the remainder#of his life writing bad verse.' SLDIFSDJIFLDIFSL#if someone said that about me. even though i was already dead. i would somehow find a way to kill myself#maybe 20th century literary academic snobs were funnyyyyy#misogynists granted. but when they attacked each other? funny#also even though i am praising the country wife this play is definitely definitely misogynistic like holy shit#k. ive said enough

Book Review #31 of 2024--
Tumblr media
Icon and Inferno by Marie Lu. Rating: 3.75 stars.
Read from May 10th to 13th.
Before I get into the review, a quick thank you to NetGalley and the publishers over at Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for allowing me access to this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I was so excited when I got the approval email for this one. Icon and Inferno is the second book in the Stars and Smoke series which follows a spy and an international pop star. Sydney Cossette and Winter Young were thrown together for a mission last year and a lot of stuff went sideways. Which is what made it so surprising for Winter when Sydney strolled back into his life with another mission that needs his fame to get her into the game. Can they team up again and prevent an all-out war from breaking out? Icon and Inferno is set to release on June 11th and is available for pre-order now.
There is something in this world that I would keep coming back for a thousand times over. I love getting to see the world of glitz and glamor of Winter Young but I also love seeing the things that hide in the shadows with Sydney Cossette. The juxtaposition of these two worlds and seeing them overlap is wonderful and so delightful to read again and again. I think the author manages to find a way to take this world and these characters that are so fantastical and ground them in reality. The action is fast paced and keeps the story moving. The characterization draws you in to the whole, well rounded people who have such full and interesting stories. This could be such a long series and the set up being what it is would draw me in time and again. I also really love the way the romance is played out in this one. We got a small glimpse of it last time and in this one it was so swoon worthy for me. Toward the end of the novel, there's a moment between Sydney and Winter that made my heart feel like it was going to explode. It was so soft and sweet and yet the angst. My dude. Keep this shit coming. I'm so here for it.
I struggled with this one in a similar way that I struggled with the first one: in that I needed more. It's wrong (and frankly should be illegal) for this book to be under 350 pages. I think more description during the action or for settings would help ground the reader into the world better. I also just want more of this world and EVERYTHING between Sydney and Winter. The side characters in this one took a bit more of a backseat in this one just because of the scope of the plot. I understand it, that doesn't mean I have to like it. I don't know that there's anywhere to go from here as far as similar novels. I think the first two being missions for Sydney and Winter to go on made sense. I think with how this one went down it would be hard to do another one. But I could be wrong. There's still an opening there for another story with Sydney and Winter. I just think them going on a mission together wouldn't make sense.
Overall, this was so much fun to read and I loved seeing the foreshadowing throughout the novel. I think this is a great series for fans of Marie Lu or any reader who wants a little more spies in their novels.
