Queen B’s Decree: You likely know, I read all things Pride and Prejudice-inspired. So as soon as I saw Most Ardently, I clicked “request” so fast your head would spin. Most Ardently had a slight P&P twist. Elizabeth Bennett was actually Oliver, a trans boy, stuck in a girl’s body during a time frame where […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was pretty obsessed with this book. I think what I loved so much about this book was the combination of emotions evoked in me. It was funny, and heartbreaking, and sweet, and spicy, and I just couldn’t get enough. Beth and Gwen were fully fleshed characters, and I loved their progression […]
Queen B’s Decree: Never Met a Duke Like You is a play on Clueless, or more accurately, Emma. Vesper and Aspen (which don’t feel like historical names, frankly) were childhood friends that had a big falling out but haven’t seen each other in years. Aspen was hard for me to like. I can appreciate his […]
Queen B’s Decree: Go as a River was filled with beautiful, but overly flowery language and prose. And honestly, I was hooked at the beginning. As primarily a romance reader, I was so invested in the love story of Victoria and Wilson. And I’m sorry, this is a spoiler, but Go as a River is […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series so far, but none more than My Rogue to Ruin. Our heroine is Marjorie, a quiet bookworm, who usually assists her siblings from behind the scenes. But this crime is about art—ART!—so Marjorie steps into the spotlight to help save the day. This story […]
Queen B’s Decree: When I saw this book mentioning Newsies, I couldn’t have clicked “request” any faster. I had to “seize the day.” We Could Be So Good is based in the 1950’s in NYC and stars Nick (the star reporter!) and the newspaper owner’s son, Andy. It was a bit of a slow start, […]
Queen B’s Decree: I loved Anne of Green Gables so I was really excited to be given this copy of After Anne as a #bookclubgirlearlyread. But sadly, my interest waned quickly. There was a lot of dialogue from Anne of Green Gables sprinkled in, and I think that contributed to my mood. It almost felt […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’m going through my physical TBR this year and I decided to attempt Reputation by Lex Croucher. I didn’t get very far before I chose to DNF. It was like modern day characters were placed in the Regency period and it didn’t vibe with me. And the characters were a little too […]
Queen B’s Decree: I found Second Chances in Hollywood to be adorable. It’s set in 1959 in Hollywood and that’s definitely a time period I haven’t read about much. Josie is a nurse who moved to Hollywood from her hometown in Kansas two years ago to get a fresh start when a patient talks her […]
Queen B’s Decree: I’ve enjoyed the rest of The Regency Vows series, so I was excited to read To Swoon and To Spar. Alas, it was not to be. To Swoon and To Spar features Viscount Penvale buying back his ancestral home, but there’s a catch: he has to marry his uncle’s ward. My issue […]
