Time Travel Thursday

It’s Time Travel Thursday! Hosted by me, this is where you get to relive all those bookish memories! Take a look back at what you were reading this time last year (or the year before or the year before that…) and compare it to what you are reading now!

This time last year I was reading:

Book Description From Goodreads:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn and television pioneer Shonda Rhimes comes a powerful and romantic novel of Bridgerton’s Queen Charlotte and King George III’s great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix.

“We are one crown. His weight is mine, and mine is his…”

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours.

Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court… all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight—for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfill her destiny… as Queen.”

Book Review – Queen Charlotte by Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes

I got this book for my birthday last year so therefore got to reading it at around this time! For me the TV series was so much better and thought that much more could have been done with the book.

At the moment I am reading a Murder Mystery (The Code of the Vavasors by Jonathan Pinnock – click for link to Goodreads), which couldn’t be further from this Regency Romance!

What were you reading this time last year?

    I loved the Queen Charlotte series but haven’t read the book. I’ve read all the Bridgerton series though! I reckon this time last year I was reading Seven Exes by Lucy Vine.

      The book is a disappointment in comparison to the series. I thought that with the book they could go into more detail, but they didn’t. If anything it felt less.

      I’ve read the first 4 books in the series. I will gradually make my way through them!

      Seven Exes sounds interesting.
