“Men are sheep. Where one goes, the rest will soon follow.

-Lady Whistledown”

The Duke and I by Julia Quinn (Bridgerton #1)

4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am one of many who watched season 1 of Bridgerton on Netflix without ever reading the series, but I kept meaning to read the books. I have to say, I do prefer to read the book first (and will be attempting to doing so with the rest of the seasons). As for this book, I almost feel like the tv adaptation is… better. The plot just felt like it was fairly simple. Have you read or watched Bridgerton?

“If you can learn to endure pain, you can survive anything. Some people learn to embrace it- to love it. Some endure it through drowning it in sorrow, or by making themselves forget. Others turn it into anger.”

The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #0.1-0.5)

4.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Thanks for the heartbreak, SJM. This set of novellas made me love Celaena much more, and I almost wish I’d read it first before I ever read ToG.

“Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one th

“Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.”

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

I will always think of the 1995 movie, which I loved. While it’s a children’s book, it’s still a classic that withstands the test of time, being published in 1905.

“She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. S

“She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.”

Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass # 4)

4.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

I really got sucked into this one, much more than Heir of Fire.

I accidentally slipped Assassin’s Blade, but I’m going to rebel and read it next. Then tandem read! Wish me luck 😂

“Women aren’t rehab centers for emotionally st

“Women aren’t rehab centers for emotionally stunted man-babies who think the key to a serious relationship is to just wait for the right woman to come along. You have to be ready to be uncomfortable, to stretch yourself, to be vulnerable.”

Crazy Stupid Bromance by Lyssa Kay Adams (Bromance Book Club # 3)

4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This series is so fun! And I love a good friend to lovers trope. These are easy to read in one sitting!

What’s your favorite romance trope?

“How similar does someone have to be to you befo

“How similar does someone have to be to you before you remember to see them, first, as human?”

Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult

5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Family/courtroom drama that will suck you in. The characters were so well developed and the story was so layered. This book was quite long, but I think it was worth it.
