Catherine Let the Days Flow By Like Water

The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite

February 15, 2020 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I have had this book for months, but it fell into an unfortunate category – the “I know I’m going to be sad when it’s over so I can’t start it” category. I am so sad that it is over. I loved it so much. Lucy has recently lost her father and watched her lover get married to a man. She has spent the last decade assisting her father’s astronomic pursuits and doing all of the mathematical calculations. Her brother, a painter, is starting to […]

“I am tired of twisting myself into painful shapes for mere scraps of respect or consideration. Tired of bending this way and that in search of approval that will only ever be half granted.”

Her vocal and staunch support of #IStandWithCourtney and the ensuing fallout with the RWA meant that I bumped her novel that much further up my to read list because I will support the […]

A f/f Regency romance from a major publishing house. It’s a unicorn!

For the most part I enjoyed this, despite a pretty significant misstep near the end. Firstly, I just want to say how happy I was when I heard this was being published. I have been looking for a historical romance f/f novel for a while now. I put out a call to my romance reading friends about six, seven months ago, and there were several novellas we turned up, but most published f/f is contemporary right now, and that’s not really my genre. And the […]
