An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn -> Starting September 13th, 2021

[Alaina]

Will she accept his offer before the clock strikes midnight?

Sophie Beckett never dreamed she'd be able to sneak into Lady Bridgerton's famed masquerade ball—or that "Prince Charming" would be waiting there for her! Though the daughter of an earl, Sophie has been relegated to the role of servant by her disdainful stepmother. But now, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she feels like royalty. Alas, she knows all enchantments must end when the clock strikes midnight.

Who was that extraordinary woman? Ever since that magical night, a radiant vision in silver has blinded Benedict to the attractions of any other—except, perhaps this alluring and oddly familiar beauty dressed in housemaid's garb whom he feels compelled to rescue from a most disagreeable situation. He has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, but this breathtaking maid makes him weak with wanting her. Yet, if he offers his heart, will Benedict sacrifice his only chance for a fairy tale love?

Prologue: (view spoiler)[Well that was a bit harsh. I feel like I'm going to get some Cinderella vibes with Sophie. (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

I'll join you. I wanted to reread this books for some time now. :)

[Alaina]

Go for it!

[Alaina]

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[Oh these boys in this family.. how can you not remember who she is?!?! I'm also glad that he was there to save her. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[Oh lordy - it took him forever to figure that out. Of course it was her ya bafoon. Now she's gone again. Oh man. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 21-Finish: (view spoiler)[Okay, this was really freaking cute. I'm so happy that these two found another. I'm very excited to see what's going to happen with the next brother! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 5 (view spoiler)[This is SO much like Cinderella... I mean, I still really enjoy it but how Araminta and her daughters are acting towards Sophie is mean!

And my favorite Bridgerton made an appearance! (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Ch 12 (view spoiler)[“The mysterious she…“ Oh come on Benedict! You have to realize that Sophie is the one! How can you be this dense? (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Ch 18 (view spoiler)[Oh Colin, talking about poor Penelope was so stupid. And she handled it quite well, all things considered.
I said it before, this has to be the most cringeworthy scene in the whole series. (hide spoiler)]

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

The End (view spoiler)[This was so cute. Briderton books always make me happy. I loved how Lady Bridergton, Benedict and Posy stood up to Araminta! (hide spoiler)]

If you are continuing the series, I'll read with you. The next book (and the next Bridgerton in line) is my favorite. :)

[Alaina]

I definitely want to dive into the next one!

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Great, let me know when you're free to read it. :)

[Alaina]

Does the 18th work for you? Or did you want to do next month?

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Yes, 18th sounds great. :)

Finished chapter 5
(view spoiler)[This is Cinderella story! My friend told me it's her favorite Bridgerton story :) I really like it so far but I always like beginning of Bridgerton books.
Araminta and her daughters (especially Rosamund) are just awful! I can't believe she kicked her out. But Sophie stole these jewel and I think it wil came back to her. (hide spoiler)]
