Books Read In 2022 :
Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn
rating : ☆ ☆ ☆ 1/2
“I love you,” he said, his voice low and fervent. “I love you with everything I am, everything I’ve been, and everything I hope to be.”
“Colin . . .”
“I love you with my past, and I love you for my future.” He bent forward and kissed her, once, softly, on the lips. “I love you for the children we’ll have and for the years we’ll have together. I love you for every one of my smiles, and even more, for every one of your smiles.”

My aim for this year was to have 25% of my reading be nonfiction. Here's another book to add to that. I bought this book in my favourite bookshop the day I got one of my tattoos done, it was a really lovely day.
This was a really interesting queer history about the concept of "female husbands" a phenomenon from the late 1700s to the 1900s. It was written by a queer person, which I really liked. Usually when people discuss trans masc people in the past, people use "We can't know how they would have identified" to use she/her pronouns for these people, but this author uses that to introduce they/them pronouns, which I much prefer. It was a really interesting look at a history not really looked into it, and I appreciated learning about things.
One thing that stuck with me was the author discussing the only binary that should matter in gender is Happy/Unhappy, and that gender should only matter in how it can make people happy, and I really liked the idea of reframing gender identity in terms of gender euphoria.
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Whenever you start doubting yourself, whenever you feel afraid, just remember. Courage is the root of change and change is what we’re chemically designed to do.

October Wrap Up--
Tumblr media
If you can believe it, this is just half of the things I read this month. Though, to be fair, most of my eBooks and eARCs were pretty short. I started the month with the pace of finishing one thing every other day and I kept it going throughout the entire month. Part of that was spurred on by the fact that I got approved for the new Truly Devious ARC and need to get through a few things first. But the months of November and December are hectic at my work so I’m going to enjoy my voracious reading this month with the knowledge that I won’t get nearly as much read for the rest of the year.
Comics/Graphic Novels-- 1. Cowboy Bebop: Supernova Swing by Dan Watters-- 2.5 stars.
Novellas/Short Stories-- 1. When Snowflakes Fall by Tara Wyatt-- 3.25 stars.
2. Like Fresh Fallen Snow by Tara Wyatt-- 4.25 stars.
3. Until the Sun Sets by Tara Wyatt-- 2 stars.
Novels-- 1. Spellslinger by Sebastien de Castell-- 3 stars.
2. Pucked by Helena Hunting-- 3 stars.
3. The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher-- 4 stars.
4. Escaping Eleven by Jerri Chisholm-- 3.5 stars (original rating).
5. Cupid for Hire by Lila Monroe-- 2.5 stars.
6. None Shall Sleep by Ellie Marnie-- 3.5 stars.
7. Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher-- 4 stars.
8. Love Next Door by Helena Hunting-- 4 stars.
9. The Vanishing Stair by Maureen Johnson-- 4 stars (original rating).
10. Order of the Phoenix-- 5 stars (original rating).
11. Missing Clarissa by Ripley Jones-- 3.25 stars.
12. The Hand on the Wall by Maureen Johnson-- 4.5 stars.
The average star rating for the month of October was 3.52 stars. It hasn’t been the best reading month, but I got a lot of things I’ve been meaning to read off my Kindle so I’ll take the win.

Books Read In 2022 :
The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn
rating : ☆ ☆ ☆
“It means that love isn’t about being afraid that it will all be snatched away. Love’s about finding the one person who makes your heart complete, who makes you a better person than you ever dreamed you could be. It’s about looking in the eyes of your wife and knowing, all the way to your bones, that she’s simply the best person you’ve ever known.”

I finished Jane Eyre a while ago but I left it at home so I wasn't able to take pictures of it.
I really liked it, I loved Jane as a protagonist, her fierceness and her passion, even though Mr Rochester was....mmmm Creepy getting it on with an 18 year old after acknowledging he could be her father.
I liked the gothic tones of the story, and I enjoyed reading it!

“But that is how a tragedy like ours or King Lear breaks your heart—by making you believe that the ending might still be happy, until the very last minute.”
