The book girlies are seeing their favourite characters on screen this year so if you didn’t know or want to be ahead of the game and prep, this list is here. This list includes tv adaptations and movies so if you’re curious make sure to see if it’s streaming or theatre release.

P.s. I’m including books whose adaptations already came out this year so far

A curated collection of mostly Regency romances where propriety is optional and virtue… negotiable. Expect rakish dukes, sharp-tongued heroines, scandalous encounters, and at least a few decisions that would make any proper chaperone faint...

Fairy tale Retelling ranging from YA to Adult (will be updating as I come across them)

Stories that either retell Cinderella or showcase perspectives of different characters in Cinderella (the stepsisters, the stepmother…)

Stories set in Regency-era England, filled with elegant ballrooms, strict social rules, and romance in the style of Bridgerton.

all books that have been adapted to another medium. mostly film and TV but other adaptations might get mixed in.

The series go as follows: The Rokesby Series, then the Bridgerton Series, and the other world related books aren’t in a particular order.

You know the story all too well. Or so you thought! lol

These reimaginings have you thinking about the themes, plots, and characters years after finishing the final chapter.

Books that have been made into TV shows or movies. It always amazed me how many there are.

As always feel free to recommend any I missed!

Let me know if you have more suggestions! Making this list in preparation of season 4 of Bridgerton 💕
