Sanditon looks good! I'm not familiar with this JA book, so this adaption will be new.

Is anyone watching The Gilded Age? It's definitely becoming a favorite for me.

I would like to watch but haven’t started it. Might wait until it’s entirely released.

Sanditon was an unfinished novel, so most of the series is not from JA’s story.

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

I have just watched the Bridgerton series again. Looking forward to the next series.👍

I intend on starting soon!

About Sanditon, I've read this one is one of the better adaptations of the unfinished JA´s novel. I loved the 1st season, despite the male character not being my most favorite actor (Theo James), so I´m ok with he not appearing in the 2nd season ;)

LOL. I prefer bing- watching as well. Out of curiosity... which book was ur fav in the series?

[Missy]

@Erika, my favorite was Anthony's book, The Viscount Who Loved Me, so I'm looking forward to this season.

Again, if you do not know the identity of Lady Whistledown, do not watch the teaser. At least, stop at the 45 second mark.

Thanks for sharing, Missy. I'm looking forward to the series :)

[Missy]

@Lauren, I might watch The Gilded Age when all episodes air.

[Lauren]

I am waiting for the Gilded Age to finish airing and then I will binge watch.

I understand that it has been renewed for a 2nd season.

[Lauren]

I'm glad The Gilted Age is getting a second season. It's supposed to be an adaption by Mark Twain though it reminds me of Lions and Lace by Meagan Mckinney. The fabulous Russel family is loosely based on C.W. Vanderbilt. What Mr. Russell does for his wife in eposide 2 is soo sexy!

@lauren I'm going to have try Belgravia - sounds like I've been missing out.

I'm also going to have to try Sanditon as well.

Also, new season of Outlander will be here soon ! Too excited for words!!!!!
I'm even excited about Brigerton even without Rege-jean Page :(

March is going to be a good month for book adaptions!

Erika, my fave it´s usual the less favourite ;) When He Was Wicked Francesca story

[Sandra]

It´s so annoying that there is so few storic adaptations in the streaming channels in Portugal. We have to wait a long time for Outlander new series to be release, Sanditon, Poldark, Belgravia there not on streaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lauren]

Sandra, they don't have streaming on European prime? I'm sorry you have to wait so long.

That's my favourite Bridgerton book too, followed by Hyacinth and Gregory's.

ahh... the enemies to lovers trope. I was shocked I didn't like it more. Some of Anthony's lines just didn't sit well with me, but I did enjoy it by the end. Thanx 4 sharing. I was just curious. 😁

Nice! Ya know... I still need to read that one. My fav (so far) was . I think mine might be the unpopular opinion one 😅

[Sandra]

Kelly, mine too! And the first one because it got me (re)started in this genre, so it will always have a special place in my heart!! ;)

[Sandra]

Lauren, it depends, the new series and Netflix originals like Bridgerton usually premieres at the same time here and in US, but old series like Poldark, Sanditon don't stream here :(, I think it's because of the subtitles, they have to do it for old series, so they prioritise the new ones and not the old ones. About Outlander usually takes some months to be released here on Netflix, I think it's because that it's a Starz(?) original, so, it takes some time to Netflix has the rights to show the serie, but also happens with "When Calls the Heart". I think that Netflix and Amazon don't have great feedback on historical series in Portugal, so they don't haste time releasing old series :(.

i liked that one. it was a sweet one.

Any recommendations for books with a mystery subplot?

[Merry]

Keely, this is one of my favorites. Amanda Quick has a lot of mystery subplots. Ashley Garner, Sherry Thomas Lady Sherlocks series. I have more but the romance can be very secondary.

i concur, b/c amand quick is jayne ann krentz pen name her historicals have a mystery subplot which are engaging. great characters too.

[Lauren]

I understand Sandra! :(

Keely wrote: "Any recommendations for books with a mystery subplot?"

I third the recommendations for Amanda Quick.
I also suggest Lisa Kleypas's Bow Street Runners series, Stephanie Laurens' Bastion Club and Black Cobra series (I think the first 6 Cynster books also have mysteries), Grace Callaway and Kerrigan Byrne also have mystery subplots.

[Sandra]

Sanditon, season 2 ♡♡♡

That last image you shared brings to mind the 1995 Pride & Prejudice scene after Darcy takes a swim.

[Jan]

Thanks for sharing, Missy. Looks good! Yes, Joanna, you're right about that last shot of Anthony. *fans self*

[Sandra]

Thanks Missy! The photo with the guns reminded me of a scene of Twilight, eheheh!!

Joanna, good catch!

[Missy]

I found another trailer for Sanditon.

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

A new series of Gentlemen Jack is coming out. Has anyone watched it.

[Lauren]

I watched some episodes of Gentleman Jack from season 1. For some reason it didn't hold my attention.

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

It is took off a true story. I also like Suranne Jones , she is a very good actress.

[Lauren]

They were the first married gay couple in England. I tried watching it and it was pretty good. The show just didn't hold my attention. I'll probably give it another try before season 2.

I'm also going to have try watching Sanditon. I don't know this JA book so the show will be interesting and fresh.

I'm just happy that my Outlander is back today!!! I have Starz just for this show. I'm also enjoying, The Gilded Cage. It soo well done!

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

I have enjoyed Outlander over the years. Love a highlander series or film.

[Lauren]

shaz, The show should just be called "everybody loves Jamie" he definitely fits all the right checks for a great highlander H.

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

I will agree with that Lauren.
The best Highlander I loved was my dad. Unfortunately I lost him when I was 20. This is probably why I love a highlander book 📕 🗡

[Missy]

Pop song covers list for Bridgerton season 2.

I'm a fan of the Hindi actor Shahrukh Khan and his Bollywood movies, so I am excited to hear the cover for Kabhi Kushi Khabhie Gham!

I love a good highlander book too. Sorry to hear you lost your dad so young, Shaz.

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

Thanks Jan. It’s been over 40 years, but I still have my memories.
The Scottish Highlands have some lovely scenery and villages.

[Lauren]

Shaz, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Do you know what clan he was from?

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

Could have been Clan Graham , Earl of Montrose.
Also descended from the Orkney Islands , which never had clans as the Viking ruled their .
