Welcome to Litsy!

I just finished the third book in the Bridgerton series!!! I loved this book a lot!!! Benedict was a great character who I really did love!!! I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars!!!

#lastfirst Two very different books! Finished the year with a light romance, and started with local history.

A quick, enjoyable read.

Bridgerton family has grown on me, and this was really light & entertaining to read

I don't really love situations where someone doesn't respect someone else's values. That part of the book was infuriating.

This was still so entertaining that I wanted to see how everything ends.

#12Booksof2022 best book of February—this is not the cover I have and February was an atrocious month of reading for me but I‘ve been slowly working my way through the Bridgerton books and it was the best for that month. @Andrew65

Admittedly romance is not my genre. I get incredibly frustrated with it.
Of the now 3 books of this series I liked this one the most. That being said it‘s a very soft pick as I got increasingly frustrated and annoyed with the story. At points I HATED the characters.
I am taking break from the Bridgertons.
It‘s weird I don‘t mind watching romance but reading it makes me roll my eyes LOL I‘ll still finish the book though😊

Up next.
So far not terrible.

It‘s a Cinderella story and the existence of a wicked stepmother stressed me out. Also, I thought the hero was too hard on the heroine. Luckily everything worked out in the end 😉 and I still love this family

This is the third book in the Bridgerton series and I just love each and every one more and more as I read them. I figured I would catch up on this Volume 1 box from OUABC since the Volume 2 is shipping soon hopefully! I love these books and all of the gifts in the first box have been great! I can‘t wait to read the other books in the series!

Bridgerton Book #3. Benedict's story. Gosh these people are stubborn. But it makes sense. And doesn't pull me out of the story. All the characters are engaging and I love the little nods to upcoming and already discovered pieces of the series. #75-2022

Continuing the daft will-they-won‘t-they theme of the previous two books. Still completely loved it. Still not sorry.

OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK!
It was just so good, definitely my favorite Bridgerton book for now.

“Always,” he interrupted, raising her hand to his lips and kissing her palm with a fervency that sucked her breath away. “Always.”

"Excellent," he murmured. "Now then, I'm going to leave. And you have only one task while I go. You will stay right here, and you will keep smiling. Because it breaks my heart to see any other expression on your face.”

It was odd, and he was almost afraid to analyze
what it meant, but he needed to know that she was safe and protected more than he needed her for himself.
.
.
He captured her mouth with his, swearing to himself as he did so that if she said no, if she made any sort of indication that she didn't want this, he'd stop. It'd be the hardest thing he'd ever done, but he would do it.

Until Sophie
Unlike the lady in silver, she wasn't someone he could hope to marry, but also unlike the lady in silver, she was here.
And he wasn't going to let her get away.
She was here, with him, and she felt like heaven. The soft scent of her hair, the slight taste of salt on her skin- she was, he thought, born to rest in the shelter of his arms. And he was born to hold her.

"I can live with you hating me," he said to the closed door. "I just can't live without you.”

"I think I have to kiss you," he said, looking as if he couldn't quite believe his own words.
"It's rather like breathing. One doesn't have much choice in the matter.”

“But mostly he just enjoyed being in the same room with her. It didn't seem to matter if they were talking or if she was just sitting in a chair, leafing through a book while he stared out the window. Something about her presence brought him peace.”

Sophie turned around slowly. "Are you this charming with everyone or only me?
"Oh, only you." He grinned. "You do bring out the best in me, Miss Sophie Beckett.”

“She cried for the memory of when he'd held her in his arms at the masquerade, and she cried because she was in his arms right now.
She cried because he was so damned nice, and even though he was clearly ill, even though she was, in his eyes, nothing but a housemaid, he still wanted to care for her and protect her.”

"I want-" His voice dropped to a whisper, and his eyes looked vaguely surprised, as if he couldn't quite believe the truth of his own words. "I want your future. I want every little piece of you.”

Just started this Cinderella-esque Bridgerton #3! I can‘t put it down long enough to take a photo. Big Julia Quinn fan! Quickly reading book 3&4 before the third season comes out about Colin and Pen.

After two heavy books, I needed something light and fluffy. So of course, Bridgerton! I like Benedict better than Anthony, and this story better than the second one, but Benedict still bugs me a little. Next up—Colin!

Book 3 and I LOVED this one! I think it‘s my favorite so far. I love the Cinderella-esq storyline. What keeps it from being a cliche are they characters! I‘m enjoying revisiting with these characters. It‘s been so long since I read them that they are actually “new” to me now. #romantsy

I finished one of my book goals for #MarvelousMay 📚 and that‘s something I feel good about! I really enjoyed this one; I love Benedict & Sophie, but sometimes Sophie‘s stubbornness and secret keeping drove me crazy. That was the only reason I couldn‘t give this novel 4 stars. I‘m enjoying the #Bridgerton series thus far.

5⭐️: Spectacular Read!
4⭐️: Loved it/Great read.

📖Bridgerton 1 & 2 ✅
📺Bridgerton Season 2✅
📖 Bridgerton #3 up next!

….but I still bought new books today 🤪🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

📚Who‘s watched Bridgerton and/or read the series? What do you think? I loved the second series & book—even though they were so different. #Bridgerton #theviscountwholovedme #anofferfromagentleman

Book 35/150 of the year.

A Cinderella story! This one has definitely solidified Violet as my favorite Bridgerton! Yes, Benedict is kind of a prick in this one and constantly contradicting himself. I felt so bad for poor Sophia, but also admired her tenacity and outlook on life. She didn‘t allow her circumstances to break her spirit, and that is something that inspired me! Can‘t wait for Colin and Penelope‘s story next!

1. An Offer From a Gentleman (Bridgerton #3) by Julia Quinn
2. Def library holds, if you can walk into a library and come out without a book I‘m sus lol
3. Instructions for Dancing by Nicola Yoon

Filling in the gaps in my Bridgerton reading after watching season two! I love a good Cinderella retelling and this doesn‘t disappoint. Just good regency romance escapism. Now bring on season three…

Julia Quinn does Cinderella 💖 Benedict is so much more than the second Bridgerton Brother.

The prison scene where the bridgertons mother and son put Araminta in her place! And Go Posy for growing a backbone !

It had certainly been his right to ask, but it had also been her right to refuse. And once she had done so, he should have let her be.

Has Benedict come to his senses?a little late for that..

I dislike him 😒

I'm not sure I like Benedict very much 🤔
His offer to Sophie was denied and while it's nice he insists on still helping her its only to torture her into accepting

Just started 1st chapter. It's giving very much Cinderella vibes.

Not my fave of the Bridgertons so far - but it will certainly do the trick for a retelling for #booked2022 : this is a Cinderella story.

Well, if I didn't dislike Benedict already this would certainly solidify it. Never interrupt a woman while she's reading!

He better get a decent redemption arc...

#bridgerton

The third book in the Bridgerton books, I think I have liked this book the most. I like Benedict and Sophie too. I look forward to the Netflix serie of this book. It fun and steamy.

At first I was a bit miffed at the blatant Cinderella parallels, but it soon veered off into fresh territory and actually ended up being my favorite of the Bridgerton series so far! 💗 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Still enjoying this series. This story mirrors the Cinderella tale.

I needed something light and sweet, so I‘m diving back into the Bridgerton series
