QOTD 》How has your reading been going, friends?

My February has been romantic & adventurous, chivalrous with a lengthy list of players, human & non-human, & set firmly in centuries past. For sure, my guilty pleasures have been satisfied. So, as it was at the end of January with Austen & the Brontë sisters, I’m ready for a break in style & a visit to new worlds: I’ve grown a bit tired of books where character indices are necessary, which doesn’t bode well for my mythology tbr. Quick note: Spoilers ahead. This month’s reads were fun & more relaxing than I expected, considering that most of the time was spent running around 16th-century Europe. I love it when my reading overlaps in peculiar ways, especially when I learn of things after that keep me smiling for days like how the first English translation of Orlando Furioso (John Harington 1591) was published “at the behest” of Queen Elizabeth I, who banned Harington from court until the translation was finished. (Oh, Lizzie.) I just—I can’t decide if I’m more amused or annoyed that I “timewalked” through Elizabethan England in All Souls Book 2 & I only got to meet Shakespeare at the end—& he's only human, a scrivener/forger writing plays as a side hustle lol. I always suspected Kit Marlowe was the more interesting one. xo Noelani
