Tough Topics: DV
I STRONGLY recommend everyone read this nonfiction book:
"Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" by Lundy Bancroft ❤️
"Ah," you say, "but Rachel, babe, I'm not in an angry/controlling/abusive relationship, so I don't need it."
In that case, do you want to:
Foresee and avoid red flags?
Notice it in your friends and help them in ways that ACTUALLY help?
Make survivors' inexplicable actions make sense?
To understand. We all need to understand.
Fiction books with happy endings!
"Nettle and Bone" by T. Kingfisher
"The Violence" by Delilah S. Dawson
"Drawn by the Current" by Jocelyn Green
If you are going through it, you're not alone, and there is help. In the USA, thehotline.org is a good place to start. ❤️

Top Ten Tuesday: Gilded Age Historical Romances
It’s another Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl!
Today’s official topic is a Genre Freebie (Pick a genre and build a list around it.) And, it’s the second TTT list in a row here on the blog! I found this list of books I made a while ago, and it just so happens to fit because they’re all Gilded Age Historical Romances, an era I love to read about.

Sorry but I can't stop thinking about this
Sea Dragon and Larys taking the kids to the beaches of Driftmark because the little ones love swimming just like you. Larys is always a little worried because he can't accompany them beyond the seashore because of his foot, so you stay next to him while you hold his hand and intertwine your fingers, trying to calm him down.
Still he watches every little movement attentively, ready to tell Alyn and Aethan not to play too rough with Jocelyn or yell at the kids to back off if they're going too deep.
Little Jocelyn takes pity on him so she just swims for a while before asking Larys to help her look for shells from the sea or build some sand castles together so he stops looking so tense.
Bonus:
When Baela and Rhaena join you. You and Larys have to be even more attentive because Baela and Alyn don't stop competing over who can swim even deeper or who can hold their breath underwater the longest. But eventually he stops stressing out so much and you notice it when you see the warmth in his eyes as he watches Aethan, Jocelyn and Rhaena laugh after your niece, who climbed onto Aethan's shoulders to play fight with Baela and Alyn managed to take them down.
Taglist for "the sea-dragon, the clubfoot and the green queen"

After watching Harrenhall in yesterday's episode I think about Larys and Sea Dragon taking the children to Harrenhall for the first time
At first, Larys refuses because he doesn't have good memories of the place, there is something dark there, plus he knows his wife and children will miss Kings Landing and Driftmark. But Sea Dragon insists that Alyn must know his heritage and that his family in Harrenhall must know his Lord.
While traveling to Harrenhal Larys warns the children not to get their hopes up, that the castle is wet and not in good condition. But anyway, when the children arrive they are disappointed because they expected something else.
"I thought it was going to be more pretty" Jocelyn said trying not to pout.
Alyn begins to regret being born earlier and fights with Aethan because he wants to inherit the Driftmark. Baela also joins the discussion because she isn't excited about being the future Lady of Harrenhall either.
The children stop arguing when Larys tells them that the castle is good for playing hide and seek and then Rhaena begins to count while the rest run around looking for a hiding place.
"Alyn and Baela will inherit something better than this," Sea Dragon determines as she drags her husband to begin discussing together how to start the arrangements for Harrenhall.
