Bridgerton, To Sir Phillip With Love, When He was Wicked, It’s in His Kiss and finally, On the Way to the Wedding. If you want to read them in order: The Duke and I, The Viscount who Loved Me, An Offer From a Gentleman, Romancing Mr. ![]() ![]() I love books like this because I always want to know what happens to characters after they find their person – I love to see them happy after their book is complete. Their presence in books that are not about their love story does not take away from the sibling in the spotlight. They can be read in any order as they are each stand alone novels, but reading them in order does add to the story as the Bridgerton siblings all make appearances in each book. Each book features a different Bridgerton sibling and their quest for love. Coming up with this list is truly splitting hairs because each book is fantastic and captivating. In honor of the third season of Bridgerton coming out (soon I hope!!) on Netflix, I read all 8 of the books by Julia Quinn and ranked them from worst to best for you. ![]() ![]() ![]() They've proved they ARE persons, no matter how small. ![]() The voice Horton hears is that of the mayor!

Why I’m a thousand times better than the whole lot of you! Oh shut your foul mouths! I shouted back on one of many tormented occasions. It was at moments like this that I wanted to shrink off the face of the earth and never be seen or heard from again. ![]() It was my mother who suggested that I be named Chanticleer: I think that our daughter should have a French name befitting her mother’s ancestry.Īnd so I was given the moniker Chanticleer, which from the French means chanter, to sing and cler, clear was the name of the cock in the medieval tale, Reynard the Fox.Īs you can well imagine with a name as unusual as mine, I was oftentimes mocked by my peers: Look who’s coming, why it’s that stupid red-headed rooster.

I thought it was sweet that out of the countless women Adrian had seduced over the years, Abby was the only one he could truly remember in detail even though they had only made love once eight years before. ![]() Abby was a kind-hearted young woman who had never forgotten her one-time lover, Adrian, but he had also unknowingly broken her heart all those years ago, making her reluctant to accept his proposal now. I loved his possessiveness and his persistence in getting Abby to agree to marry him. Adrian is a rake to be sure, but surprisingly gentle, vulnerable and sympathetic, which is my favorite kind of alpha hero. For a novella, I thought that the characterizations and plot were extremely well-developed. Stephanie Laurens seems to have a talent for writing richly descriptive prose that isn't at all boring, but instead draws the reader into the story as through they are actually there watching everything unfold. Scandalous Lord Dere by Stephanie Laurens - Scandalous Lord Dere is a tender, sensuous friends-to-lovers, reunion story, two of my favorite themes in romance. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Among the famous and little-known works included in Frida Kahlo: The Paintings are The Two Fridas, Self Portrait as a Tehuana, Without Hope, The Dream, The Little Deer, Diego and I, Henry Ford Hospital, My Birth, and My Nurse and I.

In this beautiful book, art historian Hayden Herrera brings together numerous paintings and sketches by the amazing Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, documenting each with explanatory text that probes the influences in Kahlo's life and their meaning for her work. Her works are so incendiary in emotion and subject matter that one art critic suggested the walls of an exhibition be covered with asbestos.
