Yeah, I totally bought more than I could read in November, but I am pleased that I'm using the library more, and also that most of that unread list is from the HEAs for Trans Kids Winter Wonderland bundle (available until 5 Dec), and is going to be great for reading in December.

(At some point I will write opinions in the comments on the books I read, but this is already a day late so I'm just going to post it, and come back after work or over the weekend.)

rmc28: (bat-funny)

I am working my way through library copies of the Bridgerton series. Book 3, An Offer From A Gentleman, is a blatant Cinderella retelling, but no-one in the book mentions the similarities. So I conclude that in the Book!Bridgerton AU*, there is no Cinderella fairy tale. I'm now trying to remember if there are any fairy tales references in the books so far. Maybe they just didn't get the literary salons that produced conte de fées, and/or the Brothers Grimm.

(*) In my head all Regency romances occupy alternate universes which merely bear some resemblance to this universe's Regency period in England. Netflix!Bridgerton is a separate AU again, and also hasn't reached this story yet.
