2022 Ultimate Reading Challenge - hosted by kingrosereads

Get Your Bridgerton Fix
Historical Romance Prompt: If you're like me, regency era romance movies, shows, and books have had you in a chokehold since you were a teenager. Bridgerton is one of the most anticipated Netflix shows this year, so I saw it fitting to make a prompt for my fellow readers waiting for their own Mr. Darcy or Duke of Hastings. This is a bonus prompt and can be any historical romance, not just regency-era, and it can be as PG (or N-17) as you want it to be! 
*Weirdly enough, none of the Bridgerton books are on this list, but you can of course read them for this prompt
