After demanding to know why Mr Darcy never saw her as a potential match, Miss Caroline Bingley receives an answer more truthful than she'd like. Wounded, she turns to his sister, Georgiana, to help her become a kinder, sweeter version of herself... and finds a real romance along the way ❤️

Not over Halloween? Want a m/m romance with gothic vibes? You could try this one of mine...
A very fun entry - I really enjoyed the central mystery and I love stories about [redacted] and was delighted that my hunch was right! @leewelchwriter.bsky.social is another new-to-me author that I will for sure read a lot more of!

Lovely reader reaction to MR COLLINS IN LOVE ❤️
I’ve now finished Mr Collins in Love by @leewelchwriter.bsky.social and loved every moment of it. I’m a Pride and Prejudice fan but this re-visioning was a very kind book, no bullying behaviours. I’ve always liked Mr Collins.
This was a great way to spend #AceWeek as well.
Highly recommend.

I’m very much enjoying this audiobook, which will keep me company this morning in the garden.
I’ve always believed Mr Collins to be Autistic representation and this book goes beyond the surface stereotypes.
(I think also gay ace? Let’s see…)

Just finished The Bayou by @ardenpowell.bsky.social - delighted that I bought it on a whim when looking for more gay southern gothic after Summer Sons. Very vibey and morally ambiguous. An excellent Halloween treat, and I will for sure be reading again.

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…
