I found the poem Henry was reciting to Alex in the V&A, and I'm obsessed with it!
"It rhymes in French." - Henry ?

Felt all the feels when I finally got my hands on the Collector's Edition of RWRB, and currently happy & unfettered amongst all the warm & fuzzy feels of finishing the extra chapter told from Henry's dreamy POV. Peering into the domestic life of my all-time favourite book couple was joyous, and the ending delightful, yet again. I absolutely loved experiencing the story, however short, through Henry's lyrical, sometimes melancholic prose 🩷👑.
Love this! ❤️🤍👑💙

Sort of obsessed that RWRB was my first introduction to the notorious George Villiers, and now Nicholas Galitzine (AKA Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor) is playing him in Mary and George! What an incredible series! I delved into the Jacobean era after reading RWRB for the first time, and love this series even more because of it. Thank you Casey McQuiston! #RWRB #CaseyMcquiston #queerhistory #HistoryHuh #nonfiction #LGBTQ
Couldn't keep my hands off this book for a 3rd reread!! ❤️🤍👑💙
This scene hits me in the feels! Every. Single. Time! It translated so beautifully from page to screen ❤️🤍👑💙.
Such a joy of a read, I loved every page and I don‘t typically read this genre. It made me deeply happy and I cannot recommend it enough.
My all-time favourite scene in the movie ❤️🤍👑💙. I feel a re-read on the horizon! Alex knows Henry toys with his signet ring when he's anxious, so he extends his own hand with the ring to calm his nerves... so sweet!

This was cute. I wish I liked it more. I wasn't a fan of the narrator.
THIS QUOTE……I took this pic when I read this back in July 2022 & it‘s still one of my favorite quotes ever
Looks like October was not my strongest reading month. Red, White & Royal Blue was a totally fine and enjoyable gay romance, but probably wouldn‘t make a unified list of my best books of 2023.
Amazing list of romance novels in wildly diverse genres and themes. From The Ex-Hex to The Price of Salt to Anna Karenina and every place in between, this list has something for everyone!! Recommended by authors and booksellers!! https://parade.com/books/best-romance-books-of-all-time?fbclid=PAAaYbYhxWxb-MJ99...
I had the pleasure of reading 42 books in 2023, but these three became my absolute favourites! Red, White & Royal Blue stole first place due to the fact that both the book and the film have brought a little light to quite a few dark days ❤️🤍💙. Closely followed, of course, by the twisty labyrinth that is Killing Jericho and the absolute gem, They Both Die at The End! Reading goal met. Now bring on 2024 and the legions of books to come! 🎉
Red, White & Royal Blue is the gayest, most uproarious, banter-filled, big fat ray of sunshine that totally warranted a re-read mere weeks after languishing away from the worst book hangover EVER. If I could cannonball my way into these pages - into this slightly kinder, empathetic, unapologetically liberal alternate reality - I would do so without hesitation, especially with my favourite ensemble of characters to date. Queue book hangover 2.0! 🩷
Gawd, I love this book! Almost finished my re-read and seriously considering flipping back to the beginning! Apologies for the endless quotes... I just can't resist ❤️🤍💙

So this is why I've been watching Red, White and Royal Blue on a loop since it came out! Excuse me while I hit play for the millionth time and dig out my copy for a second read! 🍰❤️🤍💙👑

I really wanted to like this one, but Alex is such a jerk that I just couldn‘t. It made no sense to me at all how hostile he was and he‘s the sort of entitled brat child that I simply loathe. Had to bail before I threw my poor kindle.
I found the ending of this really moving, but parts of this felt very odd to me like fetishisation of the monarchy at the same time as hot royal characters listing the monarchy‘s historical atrocities just made me feel like the author found royals hot but wanted to detail all the asterisks of why they weren‘t allowed to find them hot…? The plot arrived really suddenly right at the end and a lot of the British bits rung kind of oddly
I now have both catboys on me and need a telescope to read my book (it's so far away!). Ebooks really are easier when these monsters want to snug.

Ha. Re-reading The Great Turkey Calamity reduced me to stitches yet again. I'm certain this is comedy gold. *Gobble* 👑🩷🦃
I'm dipping my toes back into my favourite escapism novel 👑🩷. Honestly, I'm obsessed 🩷👑.
How did I forget how amazing this book is?! Bea is WAY better in the book, and the movie has no June at all.
I‘m still entirely in love with them movie and watch it daily, but the book is its own amazing, wonderful, beautiful thing.

This is my heart… and my iPad wallpaper.
I have quite literally lost track of how many times I‘ve watched this in the last week.

Okay, can I just say, I‘ve already watched this movie twice in less than 12 hours! This is my new favourite movie. I am so in love with these characters all over again. My next book is going to be a re-read of this one. Oh my god where has this movie been all my life?! I need two things from the beautiful people who created this magic: 1. the 3 hour original cut, 2. a sequel with all the same actors, obviously.
First off, how is this film adaption so freakin' perfect? It remained so incredibly true to the novel, I'm obsessed 🩷. All the feels wrapped up in an excellent cast (Henry was utter perfection, and Alex grew on me once his character softened), and it was all laughs and pride and sappy love every step of the way!! I'm not usually a fan of romantic films (books are a different matter entirely - I love them). I'm literally begging for a sequel 🩷👑.
Re-read it after multiple movie watches. Teared up during the election night part. Love this story 💖
I never posted my wrap up for #20in4. I finished 2 of the 3 I was planning on reading. Not too bad! Also I‘m counting the tagged book for the July #TBRTarot prompt for a book with the word “and” in the title. Ampersand is close enough I think 😂
I had a delightful reading hangover from the tagged book. Dangerous read, especially if you are queer and in Texas 😍 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Finally have the chance to watch this!!
What started off as an indulgent romantic read with a guaranteed happily ever after became something far more outrageously funny, sentimental, and surprisingly political than I ever imagined. With characters that jump off the page and light up the room and a glimpse into a somewhat nicer, more accepting world, to say I loved this book would be a massive understatement. Light and fluffy with undertones of angst, this love story is unforgettable 🩷.
