diary of a wannabe writer

  rating ❤ ❤ ❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤❤ The summer can only really start with the Bridgertons re-read. I don't know what it is about these books that make them so addicting. They are by no means perfect, there are a lot of elements that usually turn me off from reading, but in these, I just can't help myself. :) It's one of those series, that once you start reading, you must read 'em all.  The Duke and I follows the story of Daphne, the eldest daughter of the Brigerton family, as she navigates her second season, still single, still without love, and Simon, a new Duke who returned to London after years traveling the world.  She wants nothing more than to find love and have a big family, just like the one she is from, and he is determined to let the family name die with him, just to spite his horrible father. They form an alliance, to pretend to be courting, so she will get more offers and he will be left alone. But something is brewing between them. One night of indiscretion and it...

Lady Georgina is used to bending the rules of polite society. When a new friend invited her to a different kind of party she was eager to go, but little did she know it was a very different kind of party. She was beyond shocked when she found herself in the middle of a masked party, where participants were skimpily dressed and up to various activities for everyone to see. When a mysterious stranger offers to help, she accepts his help. Later that summer, at another party, she runs into her mysterious stranger again, who is a notorious rake and a Duke. I really like the premise of the story, but I felt it lacked chemistry between the MCs. rating  ❤❤❤ cover  ❤❤❤ Goodreads Amazon number of pages:   304 published: April 22,2024 happy reading, Anie

Ruined is a Regency-era graphic novel. It follows Catherine and Andrew. Catherine has turned away every suitor, but this year after a scandal, her father made arrangements to marry her off to Andrew Davaner. He desperately needs the money and she needs a husband to shut off the rumours.  It was just supposed to be a marriage of convenience, but as they got to know each other, the sparks flew between them.  It's a slow-burn romance, but a good one. I like the story very much, but didn't like the artwork all that much. rating ❤ ❤ ❤ cover  ❤ ❤ ❤ art  ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie
