Another Sunday means once again it's time for a brand new Retro Read-Along Story voiced by SpeekyGeeky Mr. Geek-E (HEY, that's ME!)
This week is the classic book "Blue's Clues: Blue Puts on a Play." which allows active learners to help solve Blue's clues as to what play they are going to put on and also gives instructions on how to make a DIY mask. We'll plop the link conveniently right here for you: https://youtu.be/3KZIQH_5vl8

Hello! I'm relatively unfamiliar but very interested in Alexander's life and legacy, but unfortunately this interest is pretty new and so I'm a little confused.
I was wondering - during the various stages of her life (as queen of Macedonia during Philip's reign, as the king's mother during Alexander's reign, and in the aftermath of the Successors Wars) how much political power did Olympias wield? I'm guessing it changed depending on the circumstances, so it's confusing when you see people commenting on Olympias as though her power remained constant and unchanged (usually to a destructive potential) throughout her life.
From what I understand, she did not wield any political power during her husband's reign (or rather, in a way that defied convention - her status as the mother of his son & heir would have presumably given her a more dominant position compared to his other wives, and her role in religious rites was one afforded to women, so she seems to have had influence within the confines of her gender during that time); I was reading Elizabeth Carney's book on her and it says "In general, however, namaste evidence intimates that Olympias played a prominent oe important role in her husband's court, at least not until the last two years of his reign". Her power and/or influence (or rather, the influence she's infamous for) seems to have emerged after her son's ascension, like lots of women before her.
I might be totally wrong, tho, so I figured I should ask you :)
No, this is actually correct. I don't need to add much. Besides, Beth Carney is THE Olympias specialist, so I'll just nod along to her.
What you're describing shows proper nuance. One of the issues when we look back is to read into earlier events with our retrospective, or ex post of what would come. Not what they might know at the time. Or, alternatively, to assume someone with great sway later had the same earlier, or later personal quarrels were quarrels all along (a point I'll come back to in my monograph on Hephaistion and Krateros).
It's easy to fall into; I've done it myself enough.

Retro Reads--#KTAW Edition
In honor of #Kiaratheronappreciationweek, this #retroreads submission harkens back to the fic that spawned my Liara series (that I desperately need to return to and give it a title).
The story was born because of my answer to an ask from Porn Nonny; a writer I greatly admire said she would love to read a fic where Kiara is a naughty girl in the bedroom, a side of her we rarely see ... if at all.
This month, join me as I revisit the very NSFW tale of The Arrangement, which pairs Liam x Kiara. I rate it M for Mature due to lemon concentrate.
Tagging with most recent taglist (original post date is September 21, 2019), and including the #KTAW crew in case this #throwback may fit in with any of the daily themes.

T.g.i. #coverlustfruday! For today I chose two #romancenovels that are set in the desert and feature the word sand in the title. I haven't read either of these #books, but I so was taken by the #coverart I had to show them off. Fire and Sand by Sarah Edwards was published in 1989 by Saint Martin's press. Unfortunately I don't know who the cover artist is but I will file this in the TBD folder. It takes place in North Africa where the heroine finds herself abducted and sent to a harem. She meets an American who helps her escape and they begin a swashbuckling adventure of star-crossed love. That's according to the blurb, anyway. The other book is called Daughter of the Sand by Pamela South. It was published in 1979 by Playboy Press. The cover artist is Jordi Bosch Penalver, better known as Jordi Penalva, a well-established pulp and comic artist. This one sounds like a crazy #bodiceripper, set in the 1920s, where the heroine continent hops from England to Arabia to Austria to America. She gets kidnapped by a desert Sheik becomes an associate of American mobster, and finds love with a handsome doctor. Sigmund Freud makes an appearance as her psychiatrist. Both these books have fairly low ratings on Goodreads, but that never stopped me from reading an #oldschoolromance, especially when the #covers are so pretty. Plus I must admit to having bad taste and a low bar for being entertained. If a book grabbed my attention, it merits a positive review. How rigid are you in judging the books you read? Do you value quality writing over plot? Or are they both equally important? #bookish #bookishromance #bookstagram #historicalromances #historicalromance #desertsetting #desertromance #romancestagram #sweetsavageflame #vintageromance #1980sromance #1970sromance #retroromance #retroreads #bodicerippers #coverlust #coverslut https://www.instagram.com/p/CaIrEeMro3f/?utm_medium=tumblr

In which I chastise some creepy judges, bananas and poetry collide, and many girls wish for/save global peace.

I’ve got quite a few editions of the Caitlin Love trilogy but I’ve wanted these ‘window’ editions for a while so snapped them up when a lot popped up on eBay. They are almost mint condition too! I also got this vintage sci-fi book from @prudenceandthecrow - I am suitably intrigued… 📚 . . . #stackingtheshelves #90sbooks #80sbooks #bookhaul #bookishfeatures #bookstagramfeature #bookstagram #bookporn #bookphotography #booklr #bookblogger #bookaholic #bookish #bookstagrammer #teenreads #francinepascalbooks #patcbox #booknerd #bookhoarder #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #vintageya #vintageteen #vintagebooks #vintage #retroreads #retro #retrobooks #nostalgia https://www.instagram.com/p/CpselEerLXA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
