Book 5, Eloise. Ploughing on with the series, no Booker Prize shortlist going on here 😆. Good fun as always, although this one didn‘t quite get away with the silliness as the others have - there were lots of red flags and it wasn‘t written so long ago that it shouldn‘t have dealt with pretty major mental health issues much better. Putting this one behind me and moving on…feeling a little irritable that my go-to comfort-read series let me down!

Waking up unexpectedly very early on a Sunday had its perks; I got to finish this book. From the moment I started Bridgerton (and watched the first season) I have loved Eloise. Her fierce independence in a regal world, making sure her voice and opinions were heard even though it wasn‘t always welcomed and making sure she fulfilled her goals before the journey into married life. I love this character, I loved that they stayed true to her.

Love the Bridgerton series! Can‘t wait to see this one on screen!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🔷 So here‘s my first review in a while. Love this series. Read in April #!! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/128119209

Round House is making me anxious lol I need something to read when I need a break 🤣

I am beginning to tire of the books, prefer the shows. This time Eloise is getting the finding a husband treatment.

still some have been read, I don't think at all that this comes up to the same level as the other books. I don't like the plot of the book at all and somehow I think there is too little tension and action. Of course, the book can be read, but it is not a favorite and it took a while to read it. I can‘t recommend the book to everyone, but if you read the entire series, you should of course not skip this one. The book is a solid 5/10 I would say.

Bridgerton #4. I wasn't as attached to Eloise as I've been to other characters so far so I wasn't sure how much I'd like this one. Plus it started a but slower. Much more melancholy. But it ended on a high and got me all caught up in the story just like the others. #77-2022

I enjoyed it but I expected a bit more, I feel like I would like it more if I didn‘t watch the show first.

Halfway through the Bridgerton books!! This is probably the only series where I can honestly say I like the show better than the books. I‘m super interested to see how they spin this one. I honestly struggled to like Phillip for most of this book. To Julia‘s defense, she writes a man perfectly lol.

I LOVED this story. I hope they get this far in the Netflix series. Eloise is amazing! #WorkingMyWayThroughTheBridgertons #5 #Bridgertons

Working my way through the #Bridgertons ❤️

This wasn't my favorite Bridgerton, mainly because the first half lacks Bridgertons - what I enjoy about this series is the siblings en masse, & at first we only have Eloise. I felt like the resolution w/ Phillip's children was somewhat rushed, but overall this was some fun fluff w/ sizzle.

I‘ve heard from a number of people that Eloise‘s story is not the best of the Bridgertons, but I‘m a completist and am going in with my eyes open.

Read this in a day b/c I loved it! Eloise is my absolute favorite and this book ticked off all my boxes for a cute historical romance.

I'm still not entirely convinced that Phillip is good enough for Eloise, but as long as she's happy I suppose I'll have to allow it 😆 3.5⭐️

I love that Eloise found a man worthy of her. The hints of him in previous books had me worried. I missed the scandal sheet which surprised me. A fun read and I had a hard time putting the book down.

12-15-21: My 126th finished book of 2021! Book 5 in the Bridgerton series. Phillip is in need of a wife and a mother for his twins. After a letter of condolence from Eloise sparks his interest, a year long correspondence is started. When the subject of marriage is brought up, Eloise, a 28 year old spinster, is intrigued. Frothy and fun, these books never disappoint. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍🏼📖#️⃣1️⃣2️⃣6️⃣

Not my fave, took a while to get into

Out of all the Bridgerton sibling I was most excited about Eloise‘s story. The fact that her pursuit of romance was approached so logically was perfectly Eloise. I was so happy she found a man who was intellectual and warm.

August Book 3/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

Back on the Bridgerton train…

Loved reading Eloise‘s story ❤️

#bookspinbingo

I‘ve never read so many romances in my life 😂! But I am engulfed in this series!

#CuriousCovers Day 30 #Lovers

#4 in the series. Romance isn‘t a big part of my reading but it‘s nice once in awhile to fall into a love story. I am interested in Eloise‘s story. I hope she maintains her independence even as she falls in love.

That‘s a wrap on 30 days of exploring my TBR.

Book 5 of the Bridgeton series ✉️✍🏻🌹

Another delightful love story. This time we‘re following Eloise. She has been corresponding with a man for some time, and when he invites her to visit, she decides to take him up on his offer.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a good book. I‘ve been really enjoying the Bridgerton series and thankfully I can binge the last three books after this since they finally came in from the library. I liked the children, Phillip, and Eloise. I did get a bit annoyed that Phillip only wanted Eloise to be a mother.

This could be my favorite of the series, so far.

A great vacation read for my first trip in over a year! I was a plane within 48 hours of being fully vaccinated and it was desperately needed after a few brutal months at work. Feeling lucky to have been able to get some sun in Miami, to have gotten both shots, and to have made it through the last year. Eloise‘s story is cute; picturing the characters from the show makes it even more fun. #romantsy

At first I wasn‘t sure about this one as Eloise left her family to go see Phillip, but I was sucked in to her story and wanted to just keep listening.

Some may say these books are #fatuous, but haters can keep right on hating as I gleefully binge-read the entire series. #SpringSentiments #Bridgerton

Ahhh Bridgerton. I love Eloise, she‘s so endearing. Sir Phillip was a little odd, but he does grow on you!

I‘m so glad this book seemed to start at the beginning of the book rather than half way through. I really loved these two as a couple. My only complaint was that because Eloise ran off before Penelope‘s big reveal in the previous book, we didn‘t get to see her reaction to it and when he brothers arrived to see her none of them thought to tell her either! I loved both characters arcs, and they are both better for being together!

Book 5 and they are becoming somewhat blurred. Sir Phillip was not my favourite - I kept hoping it would be revealed he had taken the noble step of marrying his brother‘s fiancé to prevent their unborn child from being a bastard. That may have excused his behaviour. Eloise could have done better - I agree with her assessment he was seeking a housekeeper, a mother to his children and a warm body in his bed, not a wife.

Not my favourite of the series; I found it slow to start and it took me a while to warm up to Phillip, but it was still a fun easy read and I enjoyed it.

I‘m a little over halfway through and at first I was annoyed with how Eloise was being portrayed with her spinsterhood and ideas on relationships because it didn‘t fit her character in previous books. That only lasts for the first few chapters then it makes a little more sense.

Just finished book #6 of 2021. I kind of can‘t wait to see it unfold on screen!! 😍

🥶 + ❄️☃️= 💜💜💜 Continuing the Bridgerton series and still enjoying it. This one focuses on Eloise. A sweet romance but also several laugh out loud moments for me! 😃

5/5 for this Bridgerton novel! To say that I love Eloise is an understatement. She is so feisty and wonderful. I loved this book. Her relationship with Phillip and his children was so sweet and beautiful. I love this series. I laughed and cried while reading this one.

The 5th Bridgerton book so far has been my least favorite, but still a good read... just slower and less swoony than I was hoping. Obviously book Eloise isn't quite as fantastic as show Eloise, and Phillip was a handsome idiot when it came to his children and Eloise. I thought this was the longest Bridgerton book so far, but it turned out to be the shortest, it just felt long. Now I wait for book 6 to come in at the library!
Book 23 of 2021

These are my Dec - Jan reads. I went down a bit of a #bridgertons path (& loved it). #readingstats #holidayreads Image by #goodreads

Pages the Abominable Snow Morkie on our #audiowalk earlier.

Finished another Bridgerton. This one is my favorite so far. Love Eloise.

God I'm glad I finally got El's book. All four of the Brothers #Bridgerton bursting into Phillip's house was hysterical - I love the family dynamics in this series! Phillip was a little obtuse for my tastes in heroes, but watching him and Eloise learn how to understand each other was beautiful, and Amanda's story in the second epilogue was sweetly hilarious. #romance #historicalromance
