This book promised a Xmas seduction and so far there has been zero Xmas and one weird attempt at a seduction, probably will dnf here!

This is like the funniest shit I’ve read in a long ass time

😭😭they’re both the falcon

Weir’s final scenes in all her books always get me 😭😭

Jesus Christ the anti-sex worker sentiments in this are wild, you can have your FMC not want to do that type of work, and also not make her a judgmental prig. Also a Duke judging an impoverished woman for resorting to SW? While he will also utilize their services? Bye!

“I am like an autistic with a puzzle” you’re like a WHAT with a WHAT now?????

My tolerance for sweetness during Xmas time goes up, but this is pushing it!!!

Re reading for the first time in a long time, I love how Gregory’s feminism is her female characters doing evil, wildly out of pocket things in the name of equality. Her older, non-Tudor books again remind me of bodice ripper historical epics, just without happy endings.

It’s so fucking funny to me to be reading this and “Victorian psycho” at the same time, major whiplash on vibes!

Pretty freaking weird to just be letting your 8 year old hang out with a strange woman you don’t know!

“It’s Darth Vader and Count Dooku, I think. A woman doesn’t work in a high school without learning about popular culture.” Is this woman also 80 years old???

Lmao I’m sorry, her name is…Joy..?and she’s trying find the town of…Hope? On Christmas? This is just a hallmark movie. And yes, I’ve read on of Hannah’s novels, she’s corny as hell in those too, sorry!!

Oh okay so this book title is extremely literal, Jesus h Christ

I don’t mind miscommunication trope, when it’s done well in romance it can actually be really beautiful and moving - part of being in a relationship with someone is learning how to communicate with them - but I am still not a fan of eavesdropping, it’s lazy imo!

Waiting for the perfect snowy evening to read this, this is the best holiday novella btw it’s absolutely perfect.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year (holiday novella season!)

Amazing how this book takes what is a fun concept of a woman becoming immortal, she literally can’t die, and makes it….not fun. At all. Why am I being lectured to IM ON YOUR SIDE 😭😭

Witch trial books always stress me tf out, like what do you mean you “saw” evil spirits around someone, delusional!!!

Oooohh so this author also wrote “the girl in his shadow” under a different pen name, I thought the writing here felt familiar

Someone send help I literally cannot stop this Tudor kick I’ve been on since May 😭

Just realized I haven’t read just a good old historical romance in a hot minute, I bet that’s why I’m in a reading slump!

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I think I side more with Gregory on the princes in the tower and Richard III. There were a ton of people who had a lot to gain by their deaths, and Richard had had them disinherited by law, he didn’t need to kill them. However I do not get the people that act like Richard was a hero - he disinherited his own nephews and his sister in law.

Jump scare, male audiobook narrator lol!

Wow, not Allison weir perpetuating the myth that Anne of Cleeves was ugly and smelled bad!

So funny reading this after her Tudor queens series you can tell she did not do deep research on the queens in this - Catherine Parr’s first husband wasn’t an old man, I believe he was around her age, both teens.

This Jane is much different than the Jane in her Tudor queens series lmao and the Henry

Maybe if yall stopped marrying each others cousins this shit wouldn’t keep happening.

Ewww I forgot about what a gross weirdo Tom Seymour was

I feel bad for Mary Tudor but omg she sounds really annoying and sanctimonious 😭 disclaimer this is a fictional interpretation of her, but not a fan.

It’s so funny reading this after the taming of the queen, because everything Gregory made into big dramatic plot points, Weir is like “actually that wasn’t a big deal” lmao
