I started the Bridgerton series after watching the eponymous show. I have a bookmark that I love that reads, “Never judge a book by its movie”. I actually preferred the show to the first book in the series. The Duke and I is the basis for the Netflix show, and the plot is essentially the same. Daphne Bridgerton, fourth child and first daughter of the Bridgerton family, is in search of a husband. Simon, the duke of the title, is in search of a way […]

Everything you wanted to know about a Reno divorce in 1938 but were afraid to ask

This book was an enjoyable read, despite being about divorce! Maybe it’s news to some out there, but back in the day a divorce wasn’t easy to obtain. This book focuses on a six week period at the Flying Leap Divorce Ranch in 1938. Yes, that’s right – a divorce ranch where women could stay for six weeks to gain resident status, and get their no questions asked divorce. The women came from various social classes, from the ultra wealthy who might be working on […]

I never thought it would happen to me.

If book five in the Bridgerton series were a cake, it would be one tier of Mary Poppins, and one tier of Sound of Music with a thin layer of gothic Brontë jam holding the layers together. I may start to use these cake analogies for all of my reviews. I apologize in advance. Mama Violet had been trying to marry off second eldest daughter Eloise for quite some time. However, having refused multiple proposals, Eloise preferred to settle into a comfortable spinsterhood with her best friend Penelope. A safe […]

You know how some books just get under your skin? Have you ever had one that has stuck around for nearly two decades and you have literally no idea why, but you can’t find your copy of the book to reread and find out? Well…let me tell you a story. “As a rule, Meghan did not believe in running away. It simply wasn’t her nature. Whatever life dealt out, she stood her ground and stuck out her chin. In this instance, however, she was […]

A- for general story, B for narration and characterization, overall entertaining fluff

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Vol. 4 by Satoru Yamaguchi, Nami Hidaka

In some ways I am about to continue my most recent review. A while back I thought I was ordering volume 4 of the manga (see previous review) when what I actually ordered and what showed up was volume 4 of the light novel series upon which the graphic novels are based. What this means is that the story is further along. The question then becomes do I read the book I accidentally bought even thought that means I may be missing some in-between that […]

Oh, what a tangle!

The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn

Oh, yes. Reading mojo is back. These little Bridgerton books are truly a gift for my mind at this particular time. Hopefully they are priming the well for the deeper and lengthier books in my TBR, but for now they are just what I needed to calm myself down a bit; a little escape from hand-wringing and doom scrolling. This second installment in the Bridgerton Family series concentrates on the eldest unmarried son and current head of the household, Anthony. Dutiful to a tee, he […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
