BOOK REVIEW: THE VISCOUNT WHO LOVED ME - BRIDGERTON SAGA, #2 (JULIA QUINN)

 Hello there!  Thank you for joining me for another week. Today, I bring you a review of a re-read. I read all of the Bridgerton saga back in 2021, and it pulled me out of a reading slump. Usually, I don't worry about those: I read what I want, whenever I want and, if I'm not in the mood, I've learned to give myself all the time I need to be back to devouring books. But back then, I had to force myself out of it due to a  depression I was going through for a long time then due to family grief. Since I had already watched the first season of the show covering the first book, I started with this one instead, the second and I loved it so much that I bought it last month and it arrived in June.



My plan was to wait until November so I could include it in my plan for a romance challenge my friend Neus organises every year (I'll tell you more about it when the time is approaching, but if you understand Spanish you can watch her videos about it). Plus I also want to own two more of the saga and perhaps do the reading of the three. But I could not help it, I was looking forward to re-read it again that I ditched it from my already programmed plan for the challenge (It may vary, although I am usually very fixed-minded in my plans, but who knows what could happen) and read it now.

And now I question myself: Is Julia Quinn that good of a writer?

THIS IS ME... RANKING BOOK TROPES

What is this sorcery? A blog entry in English? F**ing finally! (said no one, but still). Honestly, the other day I checked the translator I have in my blog and it works fine, which I am thankful for because I am using here the ideas I originally had planned for Booktube (translate this post into English with the tool on the right if you want to know what the hell happened to that). Some were going to be re-recorded in English because I would offer different options, but some others, don't. Like this one.

Ironically, when Jack Edwards posted this video, he did it alongside another Booktuber he is friends with, but I was already counting on me not being that successful and, although someone crossed my mind, it was not the time to ask for collabs, so I already had planned to do it on my own.

It's just simple: I will rank without numbers book tropes from least favourite to the ones I love the most. The majority of them apply to romance, but not all of them, so I will make the distinction when appropriate.

Here we go.
