Me: I'm not going to start collecting any arsenic books until I have a case to store them in for my own and other's safety.

Also me: ooooh a copy of Browning's The Pied Piper of Hamelin and Other Poems from 1897 with a beautiful green cover!

Gotta love reading Victorian literature because it'll be a perfectly normal paragraph and then suddenly you're hit with "We were very gay and sociable," or "It was a very queer situation"

Are there any books that are mlm that have the same feel as Anthony and Kate from Bridgerton?

Or where the love interest is like Benedict Bridgerton?

And I don’t mean like Heartstopper or Young Royals type books.

I mean books that properly feel like Bridgerton books and have a real love story.

No hate to those shows of course.

Just want a Victorian/Regency mlm recommendation.

(basically, I’m crushing over the Bridgerton boys right now)

Me reading a Georgian book, being much too used to Victorian literature: He-(giggles) he’s talking about sex.

I told my friend that in the Jekyll and Hyde book, Hyde is described as short and harry. Then he said “So Hyde is an otter?” And I can’t stop thinking about it.

I’m in a deep dive of Victorian Pictorial Borders in books. Light why don’t we still have this kind of magic in our hands?? Why’d we stop??

okay when i was a tween i read a ton of classic books. Especially like 19th century books. There was this one book that really confused me bc i thought i was missing like half the story when i read it. However, the only thing i remember from the book was this particular plot point.

The mc had just married this widower, and she moved into their dusty castle (or something). At some point in time, they were having a costume ball or dinner party, and the costume she had made accidently (intentionally by the maids i think) made her look exactly like the guy's dead wife. And it was like a white starlike dress, and she looked kinda ghostly. I think the book had something to do with "letters" and i think people going mad (as they do in victorian books).

It was really hard to read, and really boring, and I could totally feel that there was supposed to be more information than i had. That's all i got, does anyone have an idea?
