\n\"Bout
\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

Bout of Books 30 has wrapped up. For the first time in several years, I didn’t manage to make either Twitter chat, which was disappointing, since I usually enjoy them.<\/p>\n

I did, however, get some reading done, although I didn’t finish any books.<\/p>\n

I listened to some of Becoming Duchess Goldblatt<\/em> by Anonymous, a memoir from the real-world journalist who creates a fictional Twitter persona for herself. There’s lots to make you laugh, but also lots to make you cringe.<\/p>\n

I picked up Evie Dunmore’s Bringing Down the Duke<\/em> again this week (apparently I was craving tales of high royalty), which is currently my most overdue library book with the hopes of returning it this week. It’s about a Bluestocking commoner who finagles her way onto the titular duke’s estate in an effort to find a way to get him to support voting rights for women. Instead they both find themselves fighting off mutual attraction.<\/p>\n

The next Bout of Books is May 10-16. You can bet I’ll be back for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
