It’s that time of year again! I just discovered the Magical Readathon<\/a> last year, and I really enjoyed it so I’m going to try and do it again!
\n<\/p>\n

This year everything is a little crazy (understatement of the year, I know), so instead of attempting to go after a “traditional” Wizarding Career, I’m instead training to be a Merpeople Translator!<\/p>\n

In order to qualify, I need to complete my O.W.L. in Herbology, which means… reading a book that starts with ‘I’!<\/p>\n

Set in a near-future world where the British Empire was preserved, not by the cost of blood and theft but by effort of repatriation and promises kept, That Inevitable Victorian Thing<\/i> is a novel of love, duty, and the small moments that can change people and the world.
\nVictoria-Margaret is the crown princess of the empire, a direct descendant of Victoria I, the queen who changed the course of history two centuries earlier. The imperial practice of genetically arranged matchmaking will soon guide Margaret into a politically advantageous marriage like her mother before her, but before she does her duty, she'll have one summer incognito in a far corner of empire. In Toronto, she meets Helena Marcus, daughter of one of the empire's greatest placement geneticists, and August Callaghan, the heir apparent to a powerful shipping firm currently besieged by American pirates. In a summer of high-society debutante balls, politically charged tea parties, and romantic country dances, Margaret, Helena, and August discover they share an unusual bond and maybe a one in a million chance to have what they want and to change the world in the process \u2014just like the first Queen Victoria.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
