#NaturaLitsy

This is imprinted on my mind, body, and soul 💚

What nature poems speak to you?

dabbe My two biggies are Wordsworth's “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud“ and Shelley's “Ode to the West Wind.“ Love me some Byron, too! Romantics all the way! 🤩 2mo
AllDebooks @dabbe oh yes 💚 2mo
Kimzey @dabbe Yes! I also love Wordsworth's “There Was a Boy.“ Sad, but beautiful.

Lady Caroline Lamb was married to Lord Melbourne (before he was Melbourne and Queen Victoria‘s confidante) and was Lord Byron‘s mistress. But, beyond that, she was a writer, a poetess, a thinker, and and a “free spirit.”

Fraser writes an engaging look at Caroline and demonstrates how mental illness and familial history played significant roles in her life. Great, fast-read bio!

‘The famed nineteenth century poet and rake, Lord Byron, comes to life in a searing blend of fact and fiction..‘
Last book of October. This was a good, well written, gothic story. It‘s a dark tale featuring Lord Byron as a vampire and has appearances by John Polidori, and Percy and Mary Shelley. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There was an interesting idea here but there are some very disturbing scenes including an attempted sexual assault early on in the book. The MC is rather fortuitously the spitting image of Byron whilst the main female character, Persephone, is a Manic Dream Pixie Girl who made me want to eyeroll every time her character appeared.

It did keep me reading to find out what was happening but it wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be. 3⭐
