Affectionate Glares All Around

The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian

The Queer Principles of Kit Webb is Sebastian’s trade paperback debut and I’m excited for the people who get to discover her work with this outing. There were times during The Queer Principles of Kit Webb that I was reminded of the first Cat Sebastian I ever read (her debut) The Soldier’s Scoundrel. There’s a class difference, one character making their living on the wrong side of the law, and a major injury. Plus, I really, really liked it. Sebastian writes steamy, upbeat historical romances […]

“In any event,” Percy went on, “what I had thought were principles were merely manners, and they’re utterly insufficient for my present circumstance.”

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 30/30 Thanks to Netgalley and Avon for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the content of my review. For some reason I thought this was a f/f historical? Like, for a very long time. I requested it on Netgalley just to see if they would give it to me, and they did! And then when I got it I realized those weren’t ladies on the cover, but dudes, and this was about a highwayman and a lord falling in love! […]

The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian

Pride continueth! What I thought this book was about and what it is about are two very different things! And not in a bad way, just in a “oh that’s not what I was expecting!” type of way. Kit reminds me of Katherine from The Witch of Blackbird Pond, so I though that Kit Webb was a female character, but since this has “Queer” in the cover I assumed that the other blonde one on the cover was also female and they were both either androgynous or dressing […]

The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian

A few weeks ago someone on twitter asked if anyone ever actually won those Goodreads giveaways, and yes, people do win Goodreads giveaways. I won a physical copy of Cat Sebastian’s The Queer Principles of Kit Webb. It arrived on my doorstep just as I had pulled out some color complimentary veggies. Look at me being a bookstagramer. I always know I’m going to like a Cat Sebastian book, but then I get surprised by how much it gets into my feelings. The Queer Principles […]
