Catherine Let the Days Flow By Like Water

The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite

February 15, 2020 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I have had this book for months, but it fell into an unfortunate category – the “I know I’m going to be sad when it’s over so I can’t start it” category. I am so sad that it is over. I loved it so much. Lucy has recently lost her father and watched her lover get married to a man. She has spent the last decade assisting her father’s astronomic pursuits and doing all of the mathematical calculations. Her brother, a painter, is starting to […]

Her vocal and staunch support of #IStandWithCourtney and the ensuing fallout with the RWA meant that I bumped her novel that much further up my to read list because I will support the […]

A f/f Regency romance from a major publishing house. It’s a unicorn!

The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics (Feminine Pursuits, #1) by Olivia Waite

For the most part I enjoyed this, despite a pretty significant misstep near the end. Firstly, I just want to say how happy I was when I heard this was being published. I have been looking for a historical romance f/f novel for a while now. I put out a call to my romance reading friends about six, seven months ago, and there were several novellas we turned up, but most published f/f is contemporary right now, and that’s not really my genre. And the […]
