Welcome to Litsy!

I read this after watching the latest season of Bridgerton and, much as I liked the show, the book is better. I didn‘t feel that way about season one and the first book. I enjoy these characters and the dynamics between them. The book is fun and a diversion, which is what I think it‘s meant to be. The series is an alternate reality, and that‘s okay. I‘ve read reviews that intimate that you must take one side or the other. I disagree 👇

Sitting on the patio with my Kindle and Kleenex. I‘m going to get a lot of reading time this week, because I‘m isolating with Covid. Pretty sure I‘m over the worst of it, my biggest worry is trying to keep hubby from getting it. But I‘m going to try to take advantage of the time.

Bookmark order going out!!

I loved everything about Season 1 of Bridgerton except for Daphne. Because of this I decided to skip Book 1.

It's amazing how this pretty standard Romance novel is transformed into the Blockbuster show. But that being said I actually liked the Bee story from the book better and how Love Triangle is pretty much non existent.

Will definitely read the next book that Seasons 3 is based on.

This one was better! I lowered my expectations and it was an entertaining read. Worldbuilding got better, and while I still don‘t quite buy the regency era setting, at least it didn‘t feel like Wild West (almost). While I see why some people were upset with changes made in the show, but I prefer the way it turned out on the screen. I don‘t reject the possibility of continuing reading the series, just a bit later maybe.

I was meh about 1st season, but the 2nd one was awesome! Are books any good?

Just finished watching Bridgerton season 2, and it took me a bit to get into it, but I ended up loving it. Kate and Anthony's pining is fantastic, and they're both absolutely gorgeous! I'm probably gonna watch it again in a couple of days. 😅😅🙈🙈📚📚 #bridgerton #bridgertonseason2 #booktoscreen

Planning to re read as slightly disappointed 😔 in the tv adaptation, #bridgerton ; books 2,3 & 4 were my favs 😍although lovely colin went abit weird with our gorgeous pen! Anyway here‘s your Bridgerton name ; add Lord or lady - your 2nd name -last drink you had plus add ton - of -start of name of street you live on and add shire ; mine is Lady Anne Coffeeton of Loddingshire 🤣🤣 little things #whatsyourbridgertonname

Completely smitten with the new season of Bridgerton - am not a binger but watched it in a few days with my husband (who surprisingly and wonderfully loves the show). And am treating myself to a rewatch which I NEVER do 😅 Their chemistry is just great and I love Jonathan Bailey. I read the book long enough ago to not notice too many of the differences and just appreciate the overall justice this series is doing to the romance genre ❤️

It was sad the way Kate thought so little of herself because of how society kept comparing her to her sister Edwina.

Just finished binge watching season 2...I am not going to spoil it for those that have not watched it yet but I do have mix feelings about it. Don't get me wrong, I did like it. I was hooked from the very first episode. However, I do wish there was more romance to the story, especially when I enjoyed the book so much.
Did you watch it? What did you think?

It's #Bridgerton Day!!
One of the few times I will say show over book, I love to see the world Shondaland has created 😍😍
I have warned everyone that today is a do not disturb day, I have cleaned my house and ran all my errands, so excited for this one luxurious day in front of the TV

Spent yesterday binge watching Netflix Season 2 of Bridgerton. I‘m considering a re-read of book 2 as I‘m pretty sure there were changes. Here‘s a few screenshots of Anthony and Kate 💚🐉

I told myself I wouldn‘t binge watch & would go to sleep at a reasonable hour. I lied & my eyeballs hurt. There were a number of liberties taken from the original story but I generally liked them & thought they worked well in the overall story arc. I particularly like tv Eloise better than book Eloise. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's a good day on Netflix! And I've just finished the yoke beading and am on to a mindless section with no counting. #litsycrafters #bridgerton

Reading a Bridgerton novel is like a warm hug, or coming home on a rainy day. I love them so much. And while Anthony isn‘t my favorite (hey Colin…😘), I wanted to be ready for season 2 on Netflix.

I finally got around to reading the second Bridgerton book because the new season is coming on soon! This was also part of Once Upon A Book Club‘s Bridgerton box last year and I loved all the gifts and the beautiful design of the book! I really enjoyed the book and can‘t wait to read the third!

I was a bit sad to hear that there'll be no Duke in Season 2, but after watching the latest trailer, I am hooked! I'm definitely gonna binge the entire season, my best friend and I already made plans of watching it together and ignoring everything else. 😅😅🙈🙈 #bridgerton #netflix #booktoscreen 📚📚

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am a sucker for this type of romance. Like the rest of the world, I binge watched Bridgerton and then when I got my hands on The Duke who Loved Me (also 5⭐ imo) I binge read that in a day.

At first I didn't care for Anthony. But now, with this book you get a better feel for him. I absolutely adored Kate and I cannot wait to binge season 2 of Bridgerton 🤣

February re-cap.

Total Books Read: 20

Really enjoyed participating in #Swoonathon this month, and even managed a few bingos!!! Thanks for hosting @kimmypete1 @MidnightBookGirl !!!

I read the duke and I last year when Bridgerton was airing and I really liked it, but reading this one in advance of the new series I LOVED. i don‘t know if it‘s exactly a better book or if I‘ve just got more into romance than I was, but I was obsessed with this. Perfect balance of banter and yearning.

Book #2 of the Bridgerton series and I‘m so excited for the new season! It‘s gonna be good! Anthony is an ass, but I‘ve always adored him!

We are headed off on a little podcast retreat this weekend to do our own 24 in 48 hour challenge. I‘ll be attempting to read bridgerton 2-7 and my cohost will be diving into some wheel of time. Can‘t wait to spend the whole weekend reading!

We got a Season 2 trailer! Shared my thoughts on youtube, but am super interested on what everyone here's thinking. https://youtu.be/VLQjLtkkxVk

Dearest gentle reader, Bridgerton season 2 is coming! 25 March🖋🎉

Finally!!!

💜 Penelope - she might be my fave character in the entire series.

I enjoyed this one more than the first book, even if it was a bit spicy for me!! Fun banter, likable characters, and a great croquet competition (loved the second epilogue).

Thanks for the recommendation for #NewYearWhoDis @vonnie862 - this series has been on the radar for a while but having it on your list got me to actually read it!!

Utterly daft with eye rolling will-they-won‘t-they storyline. Loved it. Not sorry.

After two weekends of being pretty lazy, I think my husband and I are getting back on our neverending bathroom remodel this weekend 😂 Not sure how much reading time there is going to be (also have a family birthday party this evening!!) but I'm hoping to finish the tagged book, which I just started last night. It is the second in a series I've been meaning to read AND one of my #NewYearWhoDis recommendations from @vonnie862 !! @Andrew65

⭐⭐⭐⭐
I think I liked this one even more than book one.

After reading The High House by Jessie Greengrass, I need some lighter, happier fare. Diving into what I hope will be an extended detour into romances, I'm re-reading the tagged book to prepare for #Bridgerton season 2.

Had to prepare myself before the second season of Bridgerton arrives! I expected to enjoy it and definitely did. Kind of your standard fare historical romance, with the expected but satisfying HEA. The perfect romantic palate cleanser to kick off February 🌹 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anthony and Kate's story is much better on a #reread, imo. Or maybe I was able to read their acerbic moments as dramatic irony rather than fully sincere expressions of their feelings. I love the fleshing out of their characters, though! Very compelling. #historicalromance

Been a busy year already, figured I should get into this before the new season!

Book 2 of 2022 done!

#2022reads #romance #historicalromance #Bridgerton

I have to admit I only read the second book because of Bridgerton. I read the first book because my library app suggested it and then I heard about the show. So, I watched the show afterwards and loved it! I liked this book but not as much as the first book. It was light and enjoyable. I might read the next romance in the Bridgerton family. I also like the brother Colin quite a bit, more than Anthony actually. I think he‘s the next book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ◼️ This is an #October read!!!! https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3763009544

The second in the series, and this is Anthony's story, as it says on the cover. I did enjoy it and I found both MCs quite amusing. I look forward to see how the Netflix series continues with these characters.

Anthony Bridgerton had always known he would die young.

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

Was completely hooked by the Bridgerton tv series and had to pick up book 2 before the second season airs.

I love Kate Sheffield and so will you…as did Bridgerton after their game of Pall Mall. Again, the books are so much better than the tv series.

Just one look at the cover and I wouldn‘t have read this. But after reading the first book for the TV show, I‘d fallen in love with this quirky family! This book might be the biggest surprise of my entire reading year!😱 Compelling story w/characters you can‘t WAIT to know more about! Super hot MC‘s too!! The entertainment factor of this book was so high that I‘m sorry I judged it by the cover! Clearly, this author is on her game! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ &1/2

I enjoyed this one more than the first book. Got to love enemies to lovers type of stories.
4⭐

Fulle review:
http://vonniesreadingcorner.blogspot.com/2021/08/review-viscount-who-loved-me.ht...

This was fun ro read. The leads have excellent chemistry, although I would have liked the hero better if he wasn't so prone to violent thoughts.
