"Of course I wanted to see the world, to experience its fullness. I wanted to be a real part of it, rather than the passing shadow I so often felt like. I wanted to devour the world."
Saeed Jones, How We Fight For Our Lives.

This was such a delight! Gwen is a princess at Camelot, years after Arthur Pendragon has turned to myth. Arthur is her betrothed. However, neither is looking forward to their future together because both are queer.
Gwen has spent years falling for the one and only female knight that takes part in the tournament every summer while Art is falling for Gwen's brother. This story is not only romantic but is full of meaningful moments. The dialogues, the banter, is so funny and enjoyable.
The ending completely surprised me. I thought this would never get too serious, but the ending is intense!
Out November 28, 2023!
Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!

Finished rereading the hobbit (shown here with my sting bookmark) and I love this book so much; it feels like coming home.

Réessayer. Les lèvres, les mains. Fermer les yeux. Est-ce que ça s’est usé ? Est-ce que le temps s’use, à passer, et les souvenirs, comme des disques, est-ce que le temps laisse des poussières qui entrent dans les yeux ?
Marie Darrieussecq, Clèves

Hi, everyone. It's been busy recently but spring is here. I love all the different spring blossoms I see around town. Do you have a favorite spring flower? I really like the blooming magnolia trees. They are so pretty with the big blossoms.

"I know that I don’t belong on this planet, because if I did, I would know how to be here. I would know how to be human. I feel like a lost and confused child who is being forced to steer her way through a very adult world. I often wonder if this is what it’s going to feel like forever, if I will always see life through this veil of despair, because if this is life, then I don’t want it."
I've Never Been (Un) Happier - Shaheen Bhatt
