  THE HEARTSTOPPER SERIES BY ALICE OSEMAN 15/10/22 This series I actually did watch the show before the books, however series 1 is only the first 2 books so I cannot wait for series 2 to come out soon! This is such a heartwarming story between Nick and Charlie, a true exploration of sexuality and first relationships. I read these books all within a day (being comics did help with that but honestly even if they were each 400 page novels, I’d have zipped through them at the same pace!) as they’re just such cute stories. Plus I really enjoyed the  bonus mini comics at the end! I urge you to read this series and then watch the TV show after! Please please please!!! Happy reading! Lots of love, Lotte :) xxx

  THE BRIDGERTON SERIES BY JULIA QUINN 14/10/22 I committed to reading this whole series before watching to show on Netflix. And now I cannot wait to watch! It’s interesting how each book is basically about the same thing: Bridgerton child meets man/woman, starts dating, ends up married with kids. But each book is so different from the last, they’re so easy to read and honestly I couldn’t put them down! I love reading/watching period dramas so if that’s what you like too, I highly recommend this series. They’re such well thought out books with so much detail. My ranking (from favourite to least, although I did love them all) An Offer From A Gentleman When He Was Wicked The Duke And I On The Way To The Wedding  It’s In His Kiss To Sir Phillip, With Love Romancing Mister Bridgerton The Viscount Who Loved Me I also ready the 9th book which was each story’s second epilogues which was great too, so I shall at some point be reading the prequels! And of course no spoilers, but I LOVED the rev
