Finished reading: Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon 📚
I really enjoyed this, mostly for the fantasy and emotional stuff. Love a nerdy heroine and a bull-headed hero (literally, in this case). The uniquely minotaurish monster romance bits were not the main source of its appeal for me. Definitely a very hot 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Not for the faint of heart.

📺📚📓 Read The Great Experiment: race and authorship in Shonda Rhimes’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story by Claudia Calhoun (Adaptation).
This is an eminently readable and beautifully argued journal article.

I might love this even more than A Heart of Blood and Ashes. A mild 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
