Rosamund’s Recent Updates

Suzannah Rowntree
Suzannah Rowntree is 57% done with The Sexual Reformation: this reading of Genesis 3:16 pitching the woman's desire as a good thing that will be continually thwarted by the man's sinful domination, in parallel to the v17 picture of the man's labour as a good thing thwarted by thorns and sweat, is amazing, has far-reaching consequences, and explains so much about why I like my favourite romance tropes

Reread this for the first time in a number of years, and it is still one of my favorite books of all time. Also one of the few books that makes me cry in almost every chapter. 😭❤️🔥✨

Suzannah Rowntree is 35% done with The Silmarillion: kind of embarrassing how we are now into the stretch of the book that Shaped My Teenage Psyche. Battles! Geopolitics! Flawed yet devastatingly attractive men losing body parts!

Quotes by Rosamund Hodge  (?)

“Where you go, I shall go; where you die, I shall die, and there will I be buried.”
Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty

“They said that love was terrifying and tender, wild and sweet, and none of it made any sense.
But now I knew that every mad word was true.”
Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty

“You deserve all that and more. It made me happy to see you suffer. I would do it all over again if I could." I realized I was shaking as the words tumbled out of me. "I would do it again and again. Every night I would torment you and laugh. Do you understand? You are never safe with me." I drew a shuddering breath, trying to will away the sting of tears.

He opened his eyes and stared up at me as if I were the door out of Arcadia and back to the true sky. "That's what makes you my favorite." He reached up and wiped a tear off my cheek with his thumb. "Every wicked bit of you.”
Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty
