I won a contest and got to chose a physical copy for the author to sign! 🖤 Lady Katherine Bone writes pirate and nautical tales! 🏴‍☠️ I thoroughly enjoyed this story where she disguises herself as a boy and sea off on her adventures! The hero is there to make sure she doesn‘t get discovered!

Ruthiella Congrats! 👏👏👏 15h

KadaGul Thank you 🙏for sharing this. I started a book 📚 club, while people 👥 love 🥰discussing books 📚 in person 👤, it's been difficult for them to make it to the physical meetings. So, I decided to explore 🔍 libraries 📚 in other cities, counties, or states to connect with other book 📚 clubs virtually 🌐. Although virtual🌐 book 📚 clubs have become more common during the pandemic,they are still less common than in-person ones.#VirtualBookclub 6d
CrowCAH @KadaGul you‘re super welcome ☺️ If BLR still does what they did when I made posts for each book on Litsy, they host a big library read twice a year. I never knew there were virtual book clubs, so neat! (Other than on Litsy with the readalongs) I hope you have good discussion with this one! 5d

Just heard about this book today at work. How it‘s so good, it changed someone‘s life.

Has anyone read it?

DGRachel YES! I thought I was going to hate it, but it was a postal book club book so I made myself start it and couldn‘t put it down. It‘s a quiet book, but so elegantly written. 2w
Tamra This is my favorite novel of all time. I am afraid to reread it. 💙 2w
Saknicole It‘s been on my TBR for a decade. I read an excerpt with classes sometimes and love the descriptions. I too have heard amazing things. 2w
See All 13 Comments
JamieArc A guy I follow on Instagram, @booksaresick, this is his favorite book (and he has a pretty eclectic reading palate so I trust his judgment). I need to finally put it on my TBR. 2w
Ruthiella I loved it, but as @DGRachel wrote, it‘s a very quiet book. I think one would have to be in the right mindset for it. 2w
CindyMyLifeIsLit Absolutely love it—beautifully written, and lots of food for thought. 2w
zezeki I've read it recently, but I must admit I didn't particularly like it, like @Ruthiella said, I wasn't in the right mindset for it at the time, though it does sound like something I'd enjoy. 2w
Billypar I'm also in the unpopular opinion camp on this one. I thought the descriptive portions were beautifully written, so I can understand why it's gotten the response it has. But I found the characters and dialogue to be very thin - it seemed to me like the main character was a thinly veiled version of the author, and he had a lot of axes to grind. Just my own read, though - I know it's a favorite book of many! 1w
jlhammar One of my favorites! 1w
KCofKaysville @CrowCAH I picked up a copy somewhere and wondered about it. Has good reviews. 1w
CrowCAH @DGRachel @Tamra @Saknicole @JamieArc @Ruthiella @CindyMyLifeIsLit @zezeki @Billypar @jlhammar @KCofKaysville thank you for all the feedback! Sounds like any book, not going to please all, but it does seem like it has some promise to it. I would like to get back into reading more modern classics, so I‘ll add it to the TBR. 1w

I really like how in this series the current characters know about the previous “rakes” mentioned by the Brazen Belle. It makes the world connected and not feel like isolated stories. Though previous characters don‘t interact with each other.

Another story with a half Indian hero. (I previously read Siren of Sussex)

And I loved how his family was in trade and “new” money. Added another level to the story.

I finished up the Maitland Maiden‘s series via audiobook! Love how all three were read by the same narrator, Philip Battley!

This third book was adorable and sweet! 🥰 Got me to cry 😢

Everyone thinks his brother and her will get together. Even she fancies the brother. Though, she‘s come to see it‘s always been him she loves! The brother was just a friend. HEA and all turns out well! ❤️

Another wonderful sweet romance of second chances with past friends! An agreement is made to marry “for convenience” to help him save the farm and to ease her brother‘s mind that she found someone before he died. Of course their previous feelings resurfaced and they still loved one another 🥰

Such a fun “tail” with Evelyn being an equestrian 🐴

This year I‘ve been reading a lot of historical romances with one of the main characters being another nationality. I like the added layer of conflict this creates. And how it shows the characters rising above societal norms and pursuing their heart‘s desire.

I‘ll keep the other three books in the series on my TBR.

bookishbitch The second one is just as good. I really enjoy this author's writing style. 1mo

A delightful story of second chances and realizing what love 💗 truly is all about!

The heroine was in her 11th Season. And both she and the hero were 28. Two rare things to happen in a novel. But both details made the story unique!

The fourth installment of The Rake Review did not disappoint! Such a fun novelette - loved it!

Some fun tropes: Julia, eldest daughter of seven, asking for flirting advice from Henry. He is going by a different name until his title can be verified, when all will be revealed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This book was very good! It has three main POV, which helps move the story along. Though at times I wish the author wouldn‘t string me along by withholding information. I did guess two of the plot twists, while one took my by surprise.

I‘m very much looking forward to reading the second and final book of the series!

Glad I‘m reading it on Hoopla instead of buying the ebook, not really getting useful info out of it.

The author details steps to do before putting content out there. When I would have preferred to read about frequency of posts, graphics or just text, repost other authors stuff, and other online marketing items. More like a plan since I know my brand - pirates, Romance, P&P!
