THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for joining me for another Friday Reads post. (In which I tell you the book that I am reading on a... well a Friday. It may or may NOT be the book that is under 'Currently Reading'.) This Friday night, I am contently reading Mrs. Poe by Lynn Cullen. IT IS SO FABULOUS, OH MY GOODNESS. I love it. I absolutely love it. Every single time that I have to put it down, I think that I get a little bit depressed inside. 
Mrs. Poe Synopsis

A vivid and compelling novel about a woman who becomes entangled in an affair with Edgar Allan Poe—at the same time she becomes the unwilling confidante of his much-younger wife.


It is 1845, and Frances Osgood is desperately trying to make a living as a writer in New York; not an easy task for a woman—especially one with two children and a philandering portrait painter as her husband. As Frances tries to sell her work, she finds that editors are only interested in writing similar to that of the new renegade literary sensation Edgar Allan Poe, whose poem, “The Raven” has struck a public nerve.

She meets the handsome and mysterious Poe at a literary party, and the two have an immediate connection. Poe wants Frances to meet with his wife since she claims to be an admirer of her poems, and Frances is curious to see the woman whom Edgar married.

As Frances spends more and more time with the intriguing couple, her intense attraction for Edgar brings her into dangerous territory. And Mrs. Poe, who acts like an innocent child, is actually more manipulative and threatening than she appears. As Frances and Edgar’s passionate affair escalates, Frances must decide whether she can walk away before it’s too late...

Set amidst the fascinating world of New York’s literati, this smart and sexy novel offers a unique view into the life of one of history’s most unforgettable literary figures.

Now, I have read plenty of Edgar Allan Poe's writing, and always thought him to be a mediocre freak. Just saying... But now I just absolutely love him. I think that I shall go buy all of his works and reread them. (Except for the Tell-Tale Heart. Not a fan of that one.)
