Queen Victoria: born to succeed | 
The #victoriadayreadathon hosted by @melissajayne is just what's needed to fill out the upcoming long weekend! For once, we're not travelling anywhere, so I'm looking forward to a relaxing few days with lots of reading.
The Aurora Award nominees (for Canadian sci-fi and fantasy) have just been announced and I'll be reading from that list: https://www.tor.com/2023/05/15/heres-the-2023-aurora-award-ballot/
It‘s Victoria Day here in Canada 🇨🇦 and I‘ve done nothing but read ALL DAY.

#cleaningoutmycloset Day 2. My husband finished the basement and garage overhaul and found three boxes of books . So obviously I‘m going thru the boxes. So far I‘ve rescued some books, including the tagged book that was originally my grandfather‘s and has his nameplate in it.
#Royals The Folio Society republished one of the classic biographies for each of these royals (and they are lovely objects, indeed!) #LyricalApril #FolioSociety
This was the first biography I read of Queen Victoria. It is 900 pages long, and I think I was 11! Lol. Do you think my parents were all that surprised when, nine years later, I came out of the closet?
Reposting from last year because of #royals
My guilty reading pleasure is books about the British royal family. Please don't judge me! I read this 900-page biography of Queen Victoria when I was 11 or 12. I'm no staunch monarchist: far from it. The royals just loom large in my imagination.
