Missed opportunity to say “ Edmund is dead-mund”

I’m just so baffled that everyone acts like Penelope is the ugly sister when she’s the prettiest one?

I know it was for the ad, but women in the regency era did NOT wear corsets but rather short stays, which are very similar to today’s bra. Also, corsets were not uncomfortable or seriously restricting. They were made to fit perfectly and support the large amount of fabric, preventing back pain. Tight lacing was a looked down upon practice and almost nobody wore the corset tighter than necessary

I'm a simple woman, I see Bridgerton and I click 🌚🌝✨

2:02 "y'all let me show you the underwear and bra i'm wearing right now" is one of the most weirdly funny lines i have ever heard.

I was about to comment about how in the Regency era tight corsets were not in fashion but rather loose-fitting stays but then u cut to an ad and i was like okay girl get that bag i get it now

Our girl has told us about her bowel movements and underwear for a sponsor. RESPECT

I almost commented "girls you would love The Selection" only to remember The Selection videos are how I found your channel

The chapter where Colin rushed to Daphne to ask her how she knew she was in love was one of my faves, but since Daphne isn’t gonna be in this season, they’re probably not gonna include it or perhaps change it to Anthony, which I am also very much okay with.

Im one second in Girl? That dress? YOU'RE STUNNING!!!!!

I've read all the books and Polin's story has always been my favourite! That slow burn and friendship-to-lovers was so nicely done. Like, Colin really had to grew up and Penelope helped him realise so many things and they sort of lifted the other one's insecurities away.

Eloise had ink stains on her hands because she was fervently writing letters to Sir Phillip Crane. RMB was hinting at the next book. 😊 11:56

literally the bridgerton hyperfixation has only been growing since the trailer dropped

I want the rundown of the other books!!! AND THE OTHER PREQUELS TOO!

I love Bridgerton, the show and the books. I’ve only read the first three, because I don’t want to spoil the show by reading the books first. But they went out of order, so I gave in and read Benedict’s book too 😂! It’s definitely worth a read if you like the show. The only downside is that the side plots don’t really exist for the most part. So if you wanted more Sienna, it’s not happening Also, teeny tiny nitpick: corsets weren’t that bad if you were doing it correctly. Especially during the regency era. It’s not your fault, that’s a common misconception. I just wanted share that with the class

okay but honestly they need you on the next bridgerton audiobook the way you read the excerpts had me on the edge of my SEAT

“A goddess”????!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see this thought shown on screen oh my gosh? I feel woefully unprepared for this next season

I really like their book too. And I agree I had fun reading it bc they both can be such goofballs and awkward characters but also so real and flawed and also sweet. Plus, I’m a sucker for a friends to lovers story and I like how they can be open and vulnerable with each other and bring out the best in each other. They help each other with their confidence and their writing. It’s a nice love story that I admit have read multiple times.

the cody ko intro made me laugh so hard right off the bat lol

Funny this video came out as soon as I'm reading through the entire Bridgerton series. I'm on book 8 now, so I'm almost done. The books aren't any high quality literature, but they're fun, quick and entertaining reads. So far, my favorite books are #3 (Benedict's story which is a Cinderella story), #5 (Eloise's book and has a mixed reception, but I liked it) and #6 (Francesa's story and probably the best one). The funny thing is, in each book, the sex scenes start 60% of the way through and I always think "Oh boy, here we go again". I like how the show adds more drama, layers and showing different perspectives between the families. I hope they get to adapt all of the books, especially Benedict and Francesca's books and don't change too much because I loved those two!

0:57 Took me until Eloise to realize that these were separate names and not one person’s lengthy name. Also, bro you’re pulling off that dress crazy well, you’ve got a Disney princess look lol.

“he died from a bee sting, don’t worry about it” me, an anime fan: no prob

girl that dress is stunning!

girl WHAT? that kiss was fire! mr colin!

Somehow your hyperfixations always align with mine and you post a video exactly when I’m obsessing about the topic 😂 Loved this one!

his temper comes out with Pen cause shes his true love match and brings out all sides of him even the bad. She sees past his mask as a charmer and shatters that mask that no one else could. Not excusing his anger btw but thats why his anger comes out with her (and he apologize to her for it unlike a lot of these men 😭). Same way with why her true witty self comes out with him!

your reading of the passage was so enrapturing i was so invested and on the edge of my seat

Girl love the vid, but I have to say that Bridgerton is set in the early 19th century as it takes place during the regency era (1811-1820) not the late 19th century

GIRL THE DRESSES FOR THE PAST TWO VIDEOS EAT!!!! You are feeding us with this content and fantastic outfits ❤

you always makes videos that are so specifically a video I need to watch idk how you never miss

i love your recap videos they’re literally so entertaining

these are my comfort videos

1:02 but did you notice the girls are all named after flowers

holy wow this dress is gorgeous!!!!!!

okay so yes to bridgerton, also your dress is beautiful omg

Oh, I didn't realize their ages were different in the books. They're 20 and 22 in the show. I have the book on waitlist at the library so hoping to read it soon.

damn the way you read that entire scene!! I loved it

the queen blessing us again

Im cackling, I’d love to hear you do the entire series audiobook style✨

16:55 HELP THE SWEENY TODD REFERENCE IM DYING

off topic but yt showed me an entire episode of bluey as an ad before this video

omggg you’re so pretty! love your videos and this is a rare situation where the tv adaptation is better than the books

Yours was THE BEST review of "Romancing..." I've EVER watched! 👏👏👏😂

OMG THE DRESS!!! GORGEOUS ✨

PlEASE DO THE REST OF THEMMMMMMMMM

Girl that dress is stunning!!!

I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

This is my favourite book of the series and it was so much fun to listen to you summarise it! So dramatic for real XD totally agree that Colin got angry a bit too often for how he'd been painted before but they still make a very amazing team. Ngl, the way Penelope especially got shown in the show so far has ruined her for me some because she's SO different from the person in the book. So I enjoyed your video all the more because it reminded me of so many fun moments ^^ also, your dress is amazing! Ps. Penelope faceplanting the pavement at the proposal still has me in stitches aksdjbakjsdbas Pps. What I definitely do prefer in the books is how much time went by till they get together. 28 makes a difference and by then, they have had so many years to get to know each other but also for Penelope to kind of accept the unrequited feelings? Yes she likes Colin and she deals with it herself and never complains to him about it. It's also why they hit so well, because it comes as SUCH a surprise, something she'd never accounted for (without blaming Colin because feelings are feelings) but it DOES happen after all the pining *_*

would love to hear you talk about the other books (maybe a comparison to the netlike version of the story?)

THAT HOTEL BACKGROUND >>

Listen I read all the books back in 2020. So refreshing to get an overview

omgggg i loved this.i need more

I literally just finished binging bridgerton and opened yt... this is perfect

Those are beautiful little columns in that hotel

Well done on the story telling.

thanks for releasing this video while i am in the middle of rapidly consuming all the bridgerton books after binging the show

girl I need you to narrate Bridgerton audiobooks ASAP

I've been waiting for this daaaay

omg you should definitely read the other books. I just finished reading book 4. About to start Eloise's and I am so excited because her story sounds the most interesting to me. I didn't enjoy Benedicts as much since I don't care for Cinderella retellings and Benedict annoyed me a few times but Sophie was a great character. Francesca and Gregory's are probably the ones I am least looking forward to based on the summaries.

I LOVE bridgerton. I havent read the books but i have watched the whole show so far 😭

I love this. I made an out of body experience cause I just love drama and romance soooo much

I read the Books, but still hearing it again after a year gave me goosebumps

I could listen to you read the books for hours

Best synopsis EVER!!!

The show is based on the Regency era, which is early 19th century

My second favourite of the books after Polin's is Kanthony's. I love an enemy-to-lovers and there was no unnecessary sister cat fight over the same dude. I know Shondaland is known for the drama, but I thought part of the show wasn't good. Women should uplift each other and in the book they actually did.

I need you to recap Throne of Glass series!

Omg you look amazing in that dress

Saving this video to watch after the new season comes out. I don't want any spoilers🙈

The Cody Ko intro was just 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

Benedict is hands down my fave. I’m so bummed he’s being skipped for Colin but I get why.

I just finished reading the book today, within 3 days so yeah it was pretty good. But I'm mostly surprised that the fact that they kissed twice and then he was like "aight bet, let's get married"💀 I will admit some of Colin's anger did seem alarming but he did become more gentle and forgiving so I'm letting it slide... There's just so many differences between the books and the series. The fact that Eloise said that it was best that Pen kept her secret from her cuz she would've told anyone. Meanwhile in the show she's pissed at her for talking bad about her😭

Aww Eloise with her letters to her penpal 🤗

Thank you

Thanks for this--read Benedict's book, hated how mean he was, and idk if I have the heart to try the other ones 😭

Yes mam. Give that princess energy! 💖

I loved this account of the book. It was so funny 😂

So glad a second person has read them

amanda can you pleasepleasepleaseplease PLEASEE do one of these for heartstopper? i love the books so much and i would LOVE a video from you about it!

I was about to give this book 3.75 but girl... when I read the last few scenes of this book, the scenes where Colin was looking for a solution for Cressida's blackmailing. And when Hyacinth, Penelope, Eloise and Violet were arriving at Daphne's ball, I was obsessed with the writing, the suspense, Penelope being VERY nervous and how thoughtful Colin was when he sent letters to everyone in his family to keep Penelope company. I literally felt like I was Penelope for a second, it was so good that I bumped the rating to 4 stars.

u look so pretty!

PLEASE do Francesca’s book next I love her book sm

Your dress is super preety, I love your videos!

can you do this about every Bridgerton book please ?? 🩵

I love the word spinster. I wish we used it now. It sounds so magical.

this video convinced me that i should read the books

I’m trying to forget that S3 is coming soon so I don’t become obsessed with it but I’m failing miserably 😭😭

How could you call the Smythe-Smith musicale some concert? It’s the least anticipated social event of the season 😧

I want to know where you got your dress from??? You look AMAZING!!

girl came PREPARED

It would be nice with some sort of visualization while you explain 🥲 maybe photos or just simple drawings on a whiteboard but I understand if that is not your style. Still an interesting topic, I just had a hard time to follow along

THE CODY KO INTRO LMAOOOO i want expecting that

18:35 omg I DIED and didn't even read the book

I am so glad you enjoyed romancing mr. Bridgerton. It is my favorite book in the series followed by When he was wicked and it’s in his kiss. Penelope and colin are my favorite couple, flaws and all. I hope they bring in the spirit of them and most scenes from the book because they are so romantic.

Hey Amanda, I enjoy your videos. Can you unhinge recap of the Vampire Diaries?

She saved the day yet again

The background music made sense in the selection series give your self more credit Amanda 🥰

nah that sponsorship was smooth😂😂😂

Just want to point out: ACTUAL regency England did not have corsets, but stays, which are different. Stays are softer, not really boned, and a much less restrictive garment than corsets. There was no reason to have a waist cinching garment with regency dresses because the waist line of regency dresses was right under the bust aka an empire waist. Also, much of our pop culture perceptions of corsets are wrong due to bad science and mysogyny. Corsets were not the uncomfortable garment we imagine because they were fitted to the proportions of the body and usually not tight-laced (like in movies). Working class women wore corsets every day, and women wore corsets while doing athletics. For more on this, I recommend checking out Bernadette Banner and Karolina Zebrowska's MANY videos on the subject. I get it, Bridgerton is historical fantasy, so who cares about the historical accuracy of the clothes. I love the show too, and I have read all the books multiple times. But we need to stop spreading corset myths because it's ahistorical and learning the truth should be fun and something people care about. Anyway, rant over.
