so-soA fleshing out of the party alluded to in book one.
pickThis was a novella. Basically to start the series. I like it. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
pickAmerica‘s royal family and the drama of the young people in the monarchy. I loved the way this was written. I‘ll probably check out the next book in the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She had become Her Majesty Beatrice Regina, Queen of America, and long may she reign.

pick4 stars-It was nice to get more context for the rest of the series. I still hate Daphne though. I wish we'd gotten any of the guys' POVs though. It could have been a little longer to include them. The narrator was amazing.
pickNot sure why the author chose to go backwards in time and show the beginnings of relationships she later trashed, but I have to admit I‘m still interested enough to continue reading this series.

so-soThis book has a really interesting premise: what if the US was run by a monarchy? It subtly criticizes our government which was pretty clever, but it was probably 100 pages too long. I would've liked more focus on Beatrice and less on Daphne, Sam, and Nina. They just got under my skin and I ended up skimming their chapters toward the end.
pickChanneling my early teenage self I give this a pick because it‘s the YA romance I would have been all over. However, as the could-be grandmother to that teenager I once was, I wanted the world surrounding Beatrice & Co to be more culturally different than today‘s world as a result of 11 generations of Washington Kings ruling America.
You already know the story of the American Revolution, and the birth of the American monarchy.

so-soDrama in this book is just for the sake of drama; characters are selfish brats and
there really isn't much going on, but it is an entertaining, soapy and easy read.
pickMy New Year‘s Day read... and I‘m pretty sure this is what you‘d get if you put Season 1 of the Crown in a blender with The Bodyguard and Legally Blonde. I wasn‘t a fan of how young the characters were (18-ish) but it‘s YA so it made sense.
pick#120 of 2020. In this story. George Washington became King so the U.S. has a royal family. This is about the current day royals in the family. Although as a history buff I find it funny to think the U.S. would have a monarch, this was a fun read. I really enjoyed it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickI ended up enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. It ended on a cliffhanger. I‘m glad to see it‘s only a three week wait at the library for the next one! #24b4Monday #FeastMode
Since it‘s just us this year for Thanksgiving I can cook exactly what I like. That includes the poached pears that I started cooking at 1:30 this morning while listening to this audiobook. I couldn‘t believe it when I looked up and it was past 5! Time to take a nap! #FeastMode
pickI enjoyed these more than I expected! This is about the lives, & love lives, of Princess Royal (later Queen) Beatrice of America & her siblings Princess Samantha and Prince Jeff(erson), in an alternate universe that started when George Washington became King George I instead of President. Sure, there‘s romantic tropes, but fun to follow. there‘s smart & clever looks at the meaning of duty, & how America is populated with dukedoms instead, etc. 👇
Decided I needed to start a light read today, and just realized the irony 🇺🇸
just finished this book from the library! i really liked the idea of a story about america having a royal family. overall i thought it was a cute book!
Stumbled across this little gem today. If you like The Crown on Netflix, this is definitely a book you will enjoy.
pickWhat if American was run by a royal family descended from George Washington?
I LOVE this book. It is so entertaining and such a cute story. I always find princess stories entertaining and this is my favorite princess story.
I reread American Royals before reading Majesty, and I loved it as much as the first time.

pick4⭐️ I really liked the fairly lightness of the book compared to some more heavier books I had finished recently. I did find that it took me a little bit to get into it. #americanroyals #bookreview #bookstagram #youngadult #fiction #litstyatoz #lettera #a #2020
bailedYeah bailed on this one and I hate doing that! HATE IT! I really wanted to like this one. I kept starting other books and coming back to this one and putting it aside and picking up another. Until I got to the point life was too short to keep returning to a book that brought no joy.
pickHad a lot of fun reading this one! Have seen a lot of mixed reviews about the sequel though! 👀
#weekendreads #readandwine
pickWow! I had so much fun listening to this excellent YA drama! It‘s set in a world where George Washington said yes to being the king of America-& his family still holds the crown. Focusing on the three siblings- heir to the throne, Beatrice & her two twin siblings, Samantha & Jefferson- this relationship story unfolds quickly with fun details & plenty of people to root for in finding their true love! A great combination of fairy tale modernity!
pickNot bad. There were some minor characters (still very important to the story) that I wished had been fleshed out more. But overall an enjoyable book I wanted to finish and I'll definitely be picking up the next in the series.

Loved this book! What a fascinating look into an alternate reality where George Washington became King George the First instead of President Washington. Really cannot WAIT for Majesty to come out Sept 1st!!!

Big storm last night meant laying in bed listening to this audiobook, which means this coffee is NECESSARY this morning 😴
Book #6 of my month of romance. ❤❤❤
More books to add to my month of romance pile! 💌 Book mail day = happiness.
July wrap up-tagged book was my favorite.

pickThis was a lot of fun. It was a bit cheesy at times and the writing and plot reminded me of Pretty Little Liars-which is one of my all time guilty pleasure series. There‘s not a lot plot wise, but I liked most of the characters, and it‘s easy to get swept up in the romance and drama. I‘ll definitely pick up the next one in the series.

New post on booksta today! My picture actually got seen by Katharine McGee!
Happy Fourth to all my American friends!😊🇺🇸 I haven‘t read this one yet, but it‘s on my TBR list! #fourthofjuly
pickWhat would‘ve happened if George Washington became King instead of President? In this book we see a present-day American Royal family if that had been the case. I tore through this! It was a pleasant change from the serious nonfiction and murder mysteries I‘ve been reading; I didn‘t realize how much I‘d enjoy the break. It was entertaining and made me root for all the characters. I think if you like Crazy Rich Asians, you‘ll like this one too.
Okay so I‘m excited I finally got this book back! When I first got it I had a minor technical difficulty where I accidentally returned this book 🙈. But now that I‘ve gotten it back I‘m so excited!! It is still drawing me in and I can‘t wait to read more of it.
pickThis one ended with me in tears and a huge lump in my throat. I love these characters! I wasn‘t paying attention to how far along I was in the audiobook and thought I was only midway through. So happy and relieved to find out that there‘s going to be a sequel 😅
Our May Book Club episode dropped this evening! We had a great time discussing Katharine McGee's American Royals, the Unabridged Podcast Readers' Choice pick, and we are SO excited about all of the events we have planned this month so that readers (and listeners!) can engage in our discussion.⠀
⠀
Be sure to check out our Stories @unabridgedpod all week so that you can contribute to our IG Live Book Club Happy Hour discussion ⬇️
pickAmerica is a constitutional monarchy. George Washington didn't turn down the request to be made king and his descendants have been ruling the country ever since. It's in this world that we begin to follow the three royal siblings, Beatrice, heir apparent and the one who can do no wrong; and the twins, Samantha, party girl, and Jefferson, royal heartthrob, as they navigate life in the spotlight. A fun alt-history for the YA / New Adult crowd.
pickKatharine McGee's American Royals, our Unabridged Podcast Book Club pick for May, drew me in immediately. ⠀
⠀
McGee bases this YA novel on one key decision in American history: when George Washington was offered the kingship after leading American forces to victory . . . what if he had accepted? The book spirals out from there, landing in an alternate present day, after two centuries of Washingtons have served as kings. ⬇️
