She’s so bloody miserable in this one!! And she’s horrible to Lucien who deserves the world. Wouldn’t be mad if SJM did something drastic like kill her off

I was thinking I hope she gets a redemption arc but now I think about it.. I’m equally fine for her to be killed off.She’s so bloody miserable in this one!! And she’s horrible to Lucien who deserves the world. Wouldn’t be mad if SJM did something drastic like kill her off
What annoys me the most is everyone saying Elaine is Elaine. Like what do you mean by that?? The only way I could understand it is if they mean 'we all know Elaine is bloody useless so let's ignore her'She’s so bloody miserable in this one!!

I KNOW! the part where rhys is like i sass nesta because she made you go out and hunt, feyre, which you were amazing at because you’re amazing at everything for some reason but i won’t say anything about elain because elain is elain - what does that mean?!?What annoys me the most is everyone saying Elaine is Elaine.

Yeah I feel like something will come out in the next book about this Elaine is Elaine thing as it needs an explanation. If it doesn't then it's one of the pointless lines ever lolI KNOW! the part where rhys is like i sass nesta because she made you go out and hunt, feyre, which you were amazing at because you’re amazing at everything for some reason but i won’t say anything about elain because elain is elain - what does that mean?!?
if i got turned into some kind of stunning fae creature and was told that an incredibly hot redhead was my immediate husband i would NOT be whining about it
I’m listening to Yellowface on audio at the moment and I’m really enjoying it.I'm trying to make headway with Yellowface, I think it's quite hard to properly get into, even though I think the author is a decent writer! Anyway, omg I cannot stand June! Lots of things she says (writes?) make me physically cringe.
this is why i think it’s an incredible book club choice because you can read it so many ways!I loved Yellowface and at times I found myself rooting for June which was interesting because her character is definitely satirical and meant to be problematic.
Kuang was quite clever to make her the underdog and make Athena unlikeable (through June's words) so you almost have to force yourself to not justify June's actions even though you know she's in the wrong.
Ive listened to the first 2. I love Bridgerton. I found the first 2 books ok. I have the next 2 and havent rushed to listen to them really.Bridgerton books, yay or nay? I keep seeing comments on Facebook posts about the Netflix series where people are saying the books do things differently. Has anyone here read the Bridgerton books and are they worth adding to the TBR pile?
it depends on the sibling as they’re a bit hit or miss! i liked anthony, colin and francesca’s books but eloise’s in particular is not great.Bridgerton books, yay or nay?

The Bridgerton books are traditional, old school historical romance, if you know what I mean. The heroines are less spunky, Kate in particular is a different person. The men can be a little more, for lack of a better word, macho. The tone is also very different to the show which is cheekier, sassier.Bridgerton books, yay or nay?

Thanks everyone. I guess I'll try Book 1 and see how we go, though Simon in the show annoyed me with his silly promise to his dying father so hopefully he is less annoying in the bookThe Bridgerton books are traditional, old school historical romance, if you know what I mean. The heroines are less spunky, Kate in particular is a different person. The men can be a little more, for lack of a better word, macho. The tone is also very different to the show which is cheekier, sassier.
The books also focus much more on the main couple, then somewhat on the family, less on the larger cast so if the ensemble is something you enjoy, it's missing there.
Queen Charlotte is basically nonexistent in the books, as is all that plot about her being obsessed with unmasking Whistledown. Lady W's role itself is paired back a lot. We get some snippets from her papers but she js not the guiding voiceover that she is in the books.
There's also plots that don't exist or that play out differently in the books. As an example for S2, the wedding never happens. Edwina isn't obsessed with being vicountess. There's no rift between the sisters.
And of course all the diversity is gone in the books, since that's something the show introduced. The books are all white and they focus only on the members of the Ton, no seamstresses or club owners allowed.
All that said, I enjoyed them but I had to think of them as something separate from the show because they were quite different. Personally it's one of the few instances in which I prefer the show over the books. Not that the books are bad, they're just less sparkly for me.
