S2Ep10

The speaker discusses their recent reads, including the second Bridgerton book and a sports romance novel. They share their thoughts on the books and mention some differences between the book and Netflix series adaptation. They also briefly mention another book in a series and a book by Lauren Blakely. Overall, they express enjoyment of the books they read. Welcome back to another episode of My Sister's TBR, where we dissect the books and make a spoon, scream, and sometimes throw them across the room. I'm Stacey, and I'm still recovering from some intense romance reads this month. May has been a rollercoaster of emotions in the book world, wouldn't you say? I don't like that. Cut out the wouldn't you say. I'll repeat that line maybe. Yeah. May has been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. And speaking of love stories, we'll be diving deep into our featured read, which is Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. So get your tissues ready, because it's a tearjerker. So, as usual, grab your favorite beverage, get comfy, and prepare for a bookish adventure. So, I think I can speak for both of us when I say that this month kind of sucked as well. We have both been so stupidly busy, both dealing with moves, and just a lot of, like, work emotional stress. But I still think that we did decent, I think, considering how crazy this month has been. How many books? How many books did you read this month? Okay. Okay, so mine is kind of a little bit wonky because, so like kind of eight books, according to Goodreads. So, um, Goodreads is counting the epilogues that I read for the first two Bridgerton books as books. So it's only like six books. Yeah. I don't know why it did it that way. So I have to like, oh, hold the phone. I read seven books because there's a fan fiction I read that's not on Goodreads. I totally forgot about that. And I cannot, I can't wait to talk about it. Okay. Okay. So it would have been an insane month if I could have kept up my pace, but all of these books I like literally finished in the first half of the month. I finished one book after in like the last two weeks. So it's been, it's been a very slow, bad two weeks. But yeah. Let me get my water. Get hydrated for this. Okay, so starting off, I finished the second Bridgerton books. That's the Viscount Who Loves Me. That is Antony's book. And the one I was most excited for, like, I mean, I am so excited for this one. I'm so excited to read Benedict's story, or finish it because I'm like, I don't know, halfway through it. But I don't know, Antony just, his story was superb. I know we talked about this last episode, about how the Bridgerton series differs from the Bridgerton books, like the Netflix series story. And I like, I know that they bring in a lot of people of color. And I especially noticed it with this season with Antony's season, because it's not mentioned, I don't think and somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's mentioned that they're of different color in the books. So as I was reading it, I was like, screw all the descriptions that Julia Quinn is giving us. I am picturing the Bridgerton Netflix series. And I just, I loved it so much more. I just devoured it. So they're, while they are like connected, I do a lot of talking with my hands. And I hate that people can't see that. So, um, what was I saying? Oh, yeah, they're, they're interconnected, obviously, because it's all the same family. But they are like, somewhat standalone, because you know, who ends up with who, like, everybody already knows that. So it's not like a big, crazy, oh, no big spoilers, if you happen to hear of the couple in the next book or whatever. So I will read the description on this. I know, normally, we don't read the descriptions of second or third books, etc. But this one, I think is safe, because it doesn't say anything about the characters from the first book. Okay. So it's obviously historical romance was 354 pages. And it still floors me that these books were published back in 2000. Like what? December 5, 2000. I was nine? No. Yeah, I was just turning nine that year. Okay. As Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, April 1814 said, 1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not this author believes for Anthony Bridgerton, London's most elusive bachelor, who has shown no identification indication, sorry, that has shown no indication that he plans to marry. But in truth, why should he? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, consummate? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, nobody does it better. But this time, the gossip call must have it wrong. Anthony Bridgerton hasn't just decided to marry, he's even chosen a wife. The only obstacle is his intended older sister, Kate Sheffield, the most meddlesome woman ever to grace a London ballroom. The spirited schemer is driving Anthony mad with her determination to stop the betrothal. But when he closes his eyes at night, Kate is the woman haunting his increasingly erotic dreams. Contrary to popular belief, Kate is quite sure that reformed rakes do not make the best husbands. And Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all. Kate is determined to protect her sister, but she fears her own heart is vulnerable. And when Anthony's lips touch hers, she's suddenly afraid she might not be able to resist the reprehensible rake himself. I read this for, it was great. It really, really was. Obviously it being 2000s, there are some things that I found over like these books that are a little questionable for this. Time. So, like, it does still hold up, but there's still something that I feel wouldn't pass the vibe check in 2024. Right? Yeah. But yeah, I really liked it. It was still a really good book. I don't think it was quite the same. Like, it was still really close. Like, I'm still very impressed with how close they are keeping to the series, like the book series. This one, yes, was still good. Like, in comparison to the series. There were some differences, but not enough that I would be like, oh, my God, like, there's not even the same series. Right? Like, a lot of TV adaptations just take these big parts and that's it. They'll form their own stories in between to make up the main plot of the book. But no, I think they're doing a really good job at just sticking to the book. Other than now Colin and Penelope, because I feel that they have changed that. But we'll talk about that on another episode. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So my second book of May, and I don't know if I talked about this one. I don't remember if I was currently reading it. But it's Flawless by Elsie Silver. It's the first book in the Chestnut Spring series. It's, yeah, I don't know if I was talking about this one or the second one because I started to read the second one and I may have been reading that. Hold on, let me see. Yeah, because I finished Flawless May 3rd. So I definitely wasn't still reading that in our mid month episode. So it was the second one. Okay, so this is considered a sports romance, because he's a bull rider. Oh, yeah. Yep. This book was just chef's kiss. It was so so good. Yeah. Yeah. Yes, you do need to read these. And this one is like the whole forbidden love trope. Sprinkle of a little like workplace romance sprinkle a bit of one bedroom. I know. Okay, I'll read I'll read the description. I'll read the description. The rules were simple. Keep my hands off his daughter and stay out of trouble. But now I'm stuck with her. There's only one bed. And well, rules are made to be broken. I'm the face of professional bull riding the golden boy, or at least I was until it all blew up in my face. Now my agent says I have to clean up my image. So I'm stuck with his ball busting daughter for the rest of the season as my full time supervision. But I don't need a goddamn babysitter, especially one with skin tight jeans, a sexy smirk and a mouth. She can't stop running a mouth. I can't stop running. Oh, sorry. I can't stop thinking about because summer isn't just another conquest. She sees the man behind the mask and she doesn't run. She pulls me closer even when she shouldn't. She says this means nothing. I say this means everything. She says there are boundaries we shouldn't cross that my reputation can't take any more hits. And neither can her damaged heart. I say I'm going to steal it anyway. This book had me giddy kicking my feet laughing giggling. I rated it four stars, but it's more of a 4.5 like fantastic, fantastic book. And it was a great start into that series. He's like, you literally have to add it right because you will eat it up. Flawless by Elsie Silver and it's on KU. And he's he's a dirty talker. But it's not bad. Like, it's not like in that weird way. Sometimes it just strikes you as like, who would even say that? Right. Okay. What did you read? Break us up with the from the romance. Wow. Sad. Okay. I know when you send me a picture and like you were like three quarters of the way through like you're going to eat this up and then here I was struggling. Okay. I know when you send me a picture and like you were like three quarters of the way through like you're going to eat this up and then here I was struggling. I love how our, we deemed March. I love how our, we deemed March. I love how our, we deemed March. Freedom McFadden March Madness or whatever it was that we called it and you're on to your third month of it. That's amazing. Cue Red Hot Chili Peppers. Can't stop addicted to the Frida. Hmm. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Ooh. Yep. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Oh. Okay. Oh, my gosh. What do you say it was called. Perfect son. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I found to with the ones that I've read by her. So, so far, do you think that you have, like, a, like a favorite Frida book so far? Oh, okay. Am I next. Okay, so. Let me get. Okay, so Lauren Blakely has a how to date series. And they're all like different. Like popular tropes. And I don't think that they. I don't know because I read book 4. And I had no idea. So. I'll leave that with the listeners. You can read book 4 and not feel like you're missing any story from anything else. So probably all the other books are going to feel the same. So this one that I read was the accidental dating experiment. And it's I listened to this one. This is an audio book. And it was. It was pretty short. I don't recall how long it was. But I listened to it in the course of, like, the weekend working. So the accidental dating experiment. Yeah. Romance. Do I say that the contemporary romance. Okay. Eight years ago. I fell into a secret summer fling with the bright, big hearted Juliet before our lives went in different directions. Now I'm the grumpy to her sunshine on a popular dating podcast. We host. And when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest. Thank you ever. We head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. And the house has only one ceiling. To make matters even harder. The woman I've been pining for tells me she wants to try to find the one. And would I please be her dating coach for the week? Like hell. I'll let her date other men. I'll coach her on three dates with me. But the second I take her out, I don't feel like her teacher. I feel like she's mine. And then the night ends with us tangled up together in that bed. Each night we grow closer. Exactly. Each night we grow closer. But this dating experiment forces me to face my greatest fear. Whether a man like me is worthy of her love. Even though I'm already head over heels for her. So this sounds like a really great book. But I only rated it two stars. Right off the bat, I'll just say, it's very cringy. I felt very weird reading some of these, some parts of this. It wasn't memorable. And just the plot itself was just so, I don't know, impractical. It just didn't make much sense. She brought in a lot of different, I don't know, like conflicts, I guess, is the way to look at it. But like she, okay, like there are adults that don't act like adults. Like I'll just put that out there right off the bat. Like a lot of this just felt like it was like teenagers. And I hate that when they're so obviously supposed to be adults and they just do not act or sound like adults, I guess. I don't know. But I don't know. I didn't really, it was fine to get me through work. So, I mean, the narrators did a great job. I did really enjoy the narrating of it. But it's just the story was completely flat, like total lackluster. It just didn't feel like the chemistry. Like you think like reading that description felt a lot different than what I was getting in the book itself. Like he did not seem like he was pining after her. Like there was no pining. He was just like, oh, I'll coach you. And then that was like, I don't know. I don't know how to put it. I just didn't enjoy it much. So much potential. And especially like them being like podcast co-hosts, I thought that was such an interesting, fun, like, I don't know. I don't know then. I don't know what I'm trying to say. I'm too tired. It makes sense when you see my hands, yes. But anyways, yeah, just long story short, it just fell flat. Yeah. Do you want me to read my other one? Okay. Yeah. But I made up for it with my next book. And I know I talked about this one in our mid-month because I had mentioned that it was very Criminal Minds, Spencer Reed-esque character. I ended up rating it four stars because it was just so good. So it was Ranger by Rebecca Sharp. And this was the fourth book in the Reynolds Protective series. I did go back and start from book one because I did really enjoy her writing. It was just so easy to read. And, yeah, so it's listed as a contemporary romance slash suspense. Because there was like that, it was pretty suspenseful after, like, once you get to, like, the peak, the conflict in the story. I was just like, oh, my God, what's going to happen? Oh, my God. Should I read the description again? Yes, bye. Okay. Sydney Ward woke up on the wrong side of life. That's what it feels like when cancel culture claims yet another victim. After her relationship implodes and tanks her career as a bestselling romance novelist, Sydney decides to start a whole new chapter in the last place that any kind of romance, literal or figurative, could find her. Wisdom, Wyoming, a town with two stoplights, one main street, and zero book boyfriends. Sydney was prepared to rebuild her life. She was prepared to forget all about sexy firefighters, broody billionaires and dreams of her own happy ending. She was not prepared for her incredibly intelligent and endearingly awkward landlord or the way he makes her feel things she's only ever written about. Ranger Reynolds lives by his own rules, while his exceptional IQ makes him an asset to Reynolds protective. Ranger knows he's too smart for his own good and too smart to find love like the rest of his brothers. So he ignores the pool he feels for the woman renting his garage apartment and sticks to facts instead. When the press show up looking for a story on Sydney, they bring a dangerous plot twist. They're out for blood and they aren't the only ones with Sydney in their sights. Ranger's determined to help. So when Sydney approaches him proposing a very convenient kind of protection, Ranger agrees because what other reason would he have to get married? So this is like the fake marriage. Yeah. Or marriage of convenience. I don't know how that really works with this story, but, but yeah, um, his character is so fricking adorable. I could not get enough. He's like, he's the type that like, as he was getting nervous with her, like, cause he doesn't, he doesn't understand like why he has this attraction to her because he, he like to his brain, he's like, scientifically, there's no reason why I should be feeling like this. Right. And he's going through, like, it's almost like he's doing it, his own diagnostics on himself. And like, as he's getting nervous, he's just like spitting out these random facts. And it was just so adorable. Um, but yeah, like, basically the whole reason why I picked it up was because I read that it was like the main male character was inspired by Spencer Reed. And that was just enough reason for anybody to want to go read this book. Apparently. Yeah. According to some of the reviews, um, apparently there are like, direct quotes from the TV series that, yeah, that apparently people don't like. Because I guess, yeah. If there's direct quotes, it's like plagiarism. So, anyways, I don't know how to feel about that. Cause I never watched Criminal Minds to enough to notice that there were like direct. But. That was a good book. Four stars. Yep. Yeah. I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think it was really that. Oh, well. What was your next book? Oh, well, what was your next book? I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think it was really that. Oh, well. I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages, but I don't think I said it was like 356 pages.
