  • #romancestagram takeover/ week 2 / Classics 📚📚 This one gave me huge Mansfield Park vibes. There's a production of Midsummer Night's Dream with the wrong leading lady, whom the hero is of course in love with because he's a bit of an idiot. There's the poor relative who grows up as a "sister" to the hero. The wrong leading lady dumps him for almost exactly the same reason as in Mansfield Park (she's greedy). Really, let's just call this a Mansfield Park retelling set on the Scotland/England border, from 1900 to 1945 or so. It's a fantastic retelling with wonderful characters. #romancereader #romance #romancetropes #mansfieldpark #janeausten #austenite #austenfan #readersofig #readharder #classics #classicromance #ilovebooks📚 #readallthebooks
  • #romancestagram takeover/ week 2 / Classics 📚📚 "You Pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. I have loved none but you." Get you a man who can write a love letter like Captain Frederick Wentworth 😍 I love Jane Austen and always appreciate a reread of P&P. I identify *strongly* with Elinor from Sense & Sensibility. But when it comes to a hands-down, favorite most beloved Austen, it's Persuasion. Something about the agonizing hope of Anne and Wentworth's second chance just gets me by the heartstrings and pulls! I love it. Austen's dramatic timing enters a new level in this novel, it's stuffed full of amazing moments. Plus some super sweet reveals. Ugh I just love it so much. #bookstagram #bookish #bibliophile #booknerd #bookwyrm #bookdragon #ihoardbooks #romancetropes #classics #classicalromance #persuasion #janeausten #austenite #secondchance
  • #romancestagram take over / week 2 / Classics 📚📚 I love me some Beatrice and Benedick. The sparring makes my sarcastic heart🎵sing🎵I will always love the Kenneth Branagh movie adaptation. He and Emma Thompson are Shakespeare gold and I adore them. It's a shame their marriage didn't last in real life, but they gave us wonderful movies to bring olde English plays alive. 📚📚 I will admit I love all the subplots in Much Ado About Nothing, too. Hero and Claudio have that nice touch of angst. It's so freaking Shakespeare that leaping to conclusions is punishable by being told you straight up killed the girl with your mistaken slander and you damn well will marry her identical cousin (who totally isn't her, nope, cause she's dead you cretin) to make it right 😂 Where are our updated Shakespeare movies? Surely there's enough sex and angst to keep modern audiences happy! #romance #romancetropes #ireadromance #romancereader #smartbitchestrashybooks #shakespeare #classics #muchadoaboutnothing #classicliterature #bookstagram #bibliophile #booksoutside #peoplehadsexthentoo #andwroteplaysaboutit
  • #romancestagram takeover / week 1/ Fairytale retellings 🍁🍁 Another McKinley. You shouldn't even be surprised, at this point 😂 Sunshine is a bit of Beauty and the Beast, but also a bit of Sharazad telling tales to survive one more night, with a dash of Grimms Brothers dark. It's set in a modern world where magic and humanity coexist, but not happily. Sunshine is a baker and creates the most ridiculous treats. If I could step into a world just to have the food, I would hop right into her family bakery. And then right back out before dark, because the vampires are freaking EVERYWHERE in this world! 🍁🍁 "My kind [vampires] does not surprise easily," he said. "You surprised me, this morning. I have thus used up my full quota of shock and consternation for some interval." I stared at him. "You made a *joke*."--Sunshine, Robin McKinley #bookstagram #bookish #bibliophile #ilovebooks📚 #readharder #readersofig #fairytaleretelling #fairytales #sunshine #robinmckinley #sorrynotsorry #romancetropes #romancereader #romance #ireadromance #booklover #booknerd
  • #romancestagram / week 1/ Fairy Tale retellings 💫🌟💫 And #grimdragon day 8 Is this a kissing book? 😂 yes. Yes it is. This one is a cute, sweet retelling of Cinderella. I admit to liking the fairytale. And I loved the animated Disney movie when I was about 5 but I rewatched it with my daughter (who is 5) recently and I was like... 😑 Dude. Cindy. This is not as beautiful as my 5yo self remembered. Prince is as limp as a dishrag. And lying down to be walked all over then crying when people do, that's NOT the role model I want for my baby girl. 💫🌟💫 I'd much rather watch Ever After, the one with Drew Barrymore, and the way she fights hard for her prince and herself. Sure Drew's accent is awful but I love that movie. I mean, Anjelica Huston! Best stepmother ever. She's complex and nasty and driven. And when the stepsister steals from Danielle's mother and reminds her "yes, but she's dead" and Danielle gets that look on her face, you know she went too far 👏👏👏 that punch is epic! THAT is the Cinderella I'd want my daughter to be. Moral of the story: punch out your tormentors and go get that prince 👊💪 #bookstagram #bibliophile #iread #readersofig #readharder #bossassbitches #cinderella #fairytaleretelling #juliaquinn #anofferfromagentleman #bethechange #strong #bethebitchyouwanttobe
  • #romancestagram Takeover / week 1/ fairy tales 🌹🌹 Another McKinley? YES. Yes I did. *bangs pots and pans together* *stomping up the street* *singing* I will always, always promote the hell out of two main authors and that's Robin McKinley, and Terry Pratchett. #cantstopwontstop #iaintevensorry This one is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty and one of the best female friendships I've ever read in fiction. Rosy (the Aurora character) and Peony are friendship goals 👏 🌹🌹 "Cats were often familiars to workers of magic because to anyone used to wrestling with self-willed, wayward, devious magic--which was what all magic was-- it was rather soothing to have all the same qualities wrapped up in a small, furry, generally attractive bundle that might, if it were in a good mood, sit on your knee and purr. Magic never sat on anybody's knee and purred." #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookish #bookdragons #booknerd #ihoardbooks #booklover #fairytaleretelling #romancetropes #romance #romancereader #fairytales #sleepingbeauty #robinmckinley #spindlesend
