Reblogged from InkAshlings:

Sometimes you aren't after a big fantasy read. Sometimes you just want something gentle, and funny and a bit silly. Soulless was all that for me.

My friend gave me the best selling Soulless last year for my 21st, but my book backlist was so long, I never got around to reading it. I finally got around to it last month, and from the blurb my brother and I were were already laughing hard at;

Ever wondered what it's like to be a Queen...?

Reblogged from victoriannightsblog:

If our adventures have whetted your appetite for all things Victorian, why not check out the diaries of Queen Victoria herself? They are just becoming available to read online, thanks to the work of the Royal Archives, the Bodleian Libraries and ProQuest. It's not every day you get to sneak a peek at a Queen's diary!

Last Days of Glory

Reblogged from Bride of the Book God:

The Last Days of Glory by Tony Rennell gives us a detailed insight into events around the death of Queen Victoria, from Christmas 1900 until her magnificent funeral six weeks later.

It's a book that's been on my shelves for a long time; I spotted it in a bookshop just after it came out which is why I have this rather handsome little hardback copy.

Foolish: The Illusion of Intellect

Reblogged from My Voyage Through Time:

Today I read a post about The Fool card in Tarot. One of my favorite gals- Lily Wight of The Arcade of Arts & Arcana posted Tarot art - The Fool on May 9, 2012. I absolutely loved the art work created for that card. Ms. Lily reblogged the tarot post from Tiana Setka's Divination Blog. After reading the post, I started to contemplate what it means to be foolish?

Reblogged from Pretty Bones Jefferson:

I just made a new treasury list of lovely things that are for sale from different shops on Etsy. This time it's about Claudia from Interview with the Vampire, the child vampire with the angelic face and many pretty things.

I was reading the book in February when I was writing my college thesis under great pressure (on another topic), having found the book on…

Because the vampire cat is so last season...

Reblogged from Sanguinem Emere:

This has been bugging me… How exactly does a vampire drink blood? Yes, yes, I know… fangs pierce skin and arteries, arteries expel blood into vampire’s mouth, vampire is fed and content… Fine. But how?

1. Are a vampire’s fangs curved?

The simple physiology of a vampire is already difficult enough to wrap a rational mind around. If a vampire, with curved fangs, were to bite into a victim’s throat, would the fangs not cause a large deal of damage AND most likely be in the way of any blood?
