    For instagram polls such as this, I think it’s best if you let it sink a little bit more. Maybe 12 hours since you’ve posted the poll just so people like us who are in a different timezone can vote before you began to tally it. Nonetheless, I’d still watch your videos because I do love to hear your thoughts :)

  • @habibamalik7396
    @habibamalik7396 Před 26 dny +3

    Since you’re loving the historical fiction/ regency era books, you should check out the Ruby Red trilogy by Kirsten Gier. It was translated from German and has movies too. The plot is about time travelling to the 1800s I believe. Another really good series is Doon by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon (that one is based in Scotland). Love love your reading vlogs, they’re one of my faves ❤

    I read the kindle sample of Wild Love and I couldn’t bring myself to buy it and keep reading! It just wasn’t grabbing me enough, and I vowed this year not to waste time on a book that I’m just not enjoying enough.

  • @BookswithNeeks
    @BookswithNeeks Před 26 dny +1

    definitely relate to everything you said about wild love! It was my first elsie silver book and I had such high expectations and I liked it but thought it was just fine :( but knowing you felt the same way but still love chestnut springs gives me hope for that!

  • @sophiecalm2233

    Hard agree about Wild Love, I don't understand how 99% of booktubers/booktokers etc are rating it 5 stars and saying its their fave Elsie Silver book. I have about 10% left but just cannot bring myself to finish it and have been in a slump for about 3 weeks from this book 🥲

I definitely need to move Anatomy up my tbr because I've wanted to read it for ages and it sounds so good. I'm currently reading Heartless so I haven't read Wild love yet but it's so good already.

    Rachel, have you tried the Veronica Speedwell series by Deanna Raybourn? The first is A Curious Beginning. It’s also set in Victorian England and is a mystery series about a woman who is a lepidopterist (studies butterflies!) who travels the world and solves murders. There is a slow burn romance throughout the series. It’s a lot of fun!

  • @bookthoughtswitheilish

    If you visit any city in the world I’d recommend Edinburgh, it’s beautiful! And the premise of Anatomy actually happened, grave digging was quite prominent in Edinburgh for medical studies. There’s a Surgeons museum there that shows the history of it 😅

    RAAACH you have to pick up the veronica speedwell series , it's soooo good it's about veronica , a lepidopterist aka butterfly scientist in the victorian era and she has a very very strong and cool personality . The book is a cozy mystery with a slowburn romance that is soooo good

      I listened to the audiobook when it was first released. I feel like it was a fun and easy romance book without too much emotional impact, so I agree with Rachel in that regard, but I enjoyed it more than her. I found it funny and that really made the book for me. Since it's a romantic comedy, if you don't vibe with the humor, it probably won't be that enjoyable. If you're in the mood for something light and funny, you should give it a go! You might enjoy it. Hope that helped in any way 🫶

      Personally my least fave book by Elsie Silver. Its an easy read, theres a few cutesy scenes but not a whole lot of depth to it (theres a lot of telling rather than showing, its marketed as a billionaire romance but you hardly see Ford being a billionaire) and some of the stuff that happens just makes zero sense (I.e the 12 year old speaks like shes 16, that whole situation is weird). I felt like there wasn't really chemistry between the two main charachters and the side charachters are kinda just there lol. A lot of people are rating it highly though so it wouldn't hurt to give it a go, everyone will have a different reading experience based on what they like!

    anatomy a love story was one of my 5 stars last year! but i’ll be so honest, the second book kind of ruins how good the first one was. anatomy ends in way like you said where you can kind of assume your own ending, and to me, the second one was unnecessarily and ruins that ambiguity!
