Favorite book of the month:

The second book in the beloved and globally bestselling Bridgerton Family, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. Welcome to Anthony’s story . . .

1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not, This Author believes, for Anthony Bridgerton, London’s most elusive bachelor, who has shown no indication that he plans to marry. And in all truth, why should he? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, nobody does it better… –Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, April 1814

Anthony Bridgerton needs a wife.

Having spent his twenties in a rakish pursuit of pleasure (whilst taking care to ensure the financial security of his mother and seven younger siblings and mother) he knows it’s high time he settled down and ensured the continuation of the Bridgerton line.

Edwina Sheffield is considered the most beautiful debutante of the current season. She is also sweet, innocent and eminently biddable – Anthony is sure she’ll make a perfectly acceptable wife and vows to make her his.

The only obstacle in his way is Edwina’s older sister, Kate. Kate is determined to do all she can to allow her sister the chance to marry for love rather than convenience. And the roguish viscount is beginning to think he may have met his match in Kate’s keen wit and sharp tongue. Until, that is, he makes the mistake of kissing her…

  1. I’ve been saying it for a while already, but honestly I still can’t quite believe it’s the final days of 2021 already… like, how? 🙂
    Glad to hear you loved the 2nd Bridgerton book! I’m gonna try and read books 1 and 2 before the new season in March.
    Also, yay, so happy you read Red Winter! I hope you’ll also try the next books in the series – as much as I love the trilogy as a whole, I do think the first book is very slow and has some flaws but books 2 and 3 were AMAZING in my view 😉
    Already wishing you a Happy New Year!

    • I’m also in denial over 2021 ending. I am glad it’s ending though because it’s been quite the year. I did find Red Winter slow so that’s mostly where the 3 stars came from but I plan on reading the other two as well. Just not sure when. So many books to read, you know how it goes 😛

      Happy New Year to you too!
