We are back breaking down Part 2 of Bridgerton Season 3 with our friends at !

There was so much going on in Part 2 (too much, even), but we think we managed to cover all the different arcs and characters in the last four episodes. We had fun talking about the things that worked for us (Yes, there was some!), but were also honest about the areas that we were disappointed in (Unfortunately, there was a lot). Link in bio.

This gorgeous book arrived yesterday😍

A CRANE AMONG WOLVES by June Hur is a stunning, angsty Korean historical romance with a dash of mystery and political revolution. Based on true events, the reader is dropped into one of the most turbulent periods of Korean history, when a despotic king kidnapped hundreds of young girls to serve as his concubines.

Desperate to save her kidnapped sister, 17 year old Iseul reluctantly teams up with cold, brooding Prince Daehyun (the king’s brother!!) in a risky plot to bring down the king and rescue the captive girls. All while trying not fall in love, OBVIOUSLY 😌

⭐️Do you love k-dramas? This book is for you.

⭐️Do you love historical fiction and being submersed in a new culture? This book is for you!

⭐️Do you love slow burn forbidden romance? This book is definitely for you.

Thank you to and for the arc!

Summary: Inspired by Chinese myths of ancient dragon gods and threads of fate, Katrina Kwan’s dazzling fantasy debut is an adventure perfect for fans of Sue Lynn Tan and Hannah Whitten.

At the spry young age of twenty-five, Sai has led a quiet life, keeping the family teahouse up and running—even if that means ignoring the past-due notices—and taking care of his ailing mother. But he has a not-so-secret gift that he’s parlayed into a side career: he was born with the ability to see the red threads of fate between soulmates, which lends itself nicely to matchmaking. Sai has thus far been content not to follow his own thread, the only one he’s ever seen that’s gray and fraying.

But Sai’s ordinary existence is about to be turned upside-down by a pair of shining dragon scales. When his mother’s doctor sells them to him, claiming them as a miracle cure, Sai is pretty sure he’s being scammed. When the medicine actually works—and the terrifying, ruthless emperor catches wind—Sai is thrust into the search for a dragon long thought extinct that will lead him into the throes of a brewing war and deep into foreign lands, facing down challenges both magical and mortal on an unexpected adventure. And for the very first time, as his own thread of fate begins to move, he may be able to solve the mystery of his Fated One on the other end of the line.
