Author: Julia Quinn Pages: 375 Published Date: March 29th, 2016 Genre: Historical Romance, Humor Series: Yes, Book 1 of the Rokesbys series Price: $9.99 I have to start saying that Julia Quinn was the second author I got into reading when I started off. Yes, I am quite aware that a child shouldn't have had anything to do with her novels but I stumbled across them through my friend. I enjoyed her writing style immensely and it was all set in the 1800s usually. The Bridgertons' series was one of my favorite things growing up (especially Colin in the books was just perfect)! Billie Bridgerton is expected to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The families were neighbors for ages and Billie was close with everyone of the kids except for the eldest. Love happens in the oddest ways one can imagine. Billie is certain that she hates George and he loathes her as well, but is that really true? They literally stumble upon each other and seem to enjoy their company which in itself is an od...

I definitely want to read tons of books this month but as you all possibly noticed last month I got through only 2 because of uni work. But this month I should be done by the 25th and power on through the books I'd like to read. Yes, it is indeed a hefty list but hey, a girl can hope to read way more than she possibly ever can! Also, how was all of your April Fool's Day? Did you fool anyone? (Please tell me you didn't hurt anyone in the progress, that would be uncool guys)! I didn't fool anyone at all, I tend not to do that. BUT on a brighter note, it is the 11th year I have known my best friend... She is an awesome writer and never accepts it (which is a horrible thing), but if any of you could actually read anything she has written, it literally sounds like poetry!!! I am trying to convince her on writing more, hopefully something like blogging as well. I have to say I miss reading, I miss holding a book in my hands without feeling guilty that I have tons of material ...

I think it is fairly obvious to all of you that I have sold my entire soul to authors and their books. One of them being Sarah obviously. I went through a major reading slump right after finishing Queen of Shadows and A Court of Thorns and Roses. I couldn't bring myself to read anything other than these beautiful books! If you have yet to read the books then I kid you not you have to get started like RIGHT NOW. Sarah' writing style and the execution of her stories are just phenomenal. She paints a beautiful world for you and even though it seems scary as heck to live in there you would still want to. The descriptions of her characters are also great and you can definitely have a beautiful image in the back of your mind! From the many interviews I have watched of her she also seems to be a really nice person. So there you go, read her books, die in the feels and come back to me for a hug because I am warning you now that she is going to be the death of all of us. Ansu / BookNerd...
