UK Recs Fit for a Queen // Books
Today, I'm headed to my favorite place, the United Kingdom, with my favorite adventurer, Kelly from Belle of the Literati.

In between booking trains and researching hotels, Kelly and I decided to commemorate on our adventure on our blogs with UK Recs Fit for a Queen. Throughout the week, we'll be recommending our favorite books, movies and shows set in the UK before chatting about our love for the place itself. So, let's start with 10 of my favorite books:

If you're looking for impressive writing and the original hate-to-love romance,
read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
If you're looking for a charming (and comical) heroine coming of age in not-so-genteel poverty,
read I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.
If you're looking for an epic family saga spanning across multiple continents and time periods,
read The Rose Trilogy by Jennifer Donnelly. (Kelly approved.)
If you're looking for some historical romance with four girls who are #SquadGoals,
read The Chance Sisters series by Anne Gracie. (Kelly approved.)
If you're looking for a little art history while you hum "Sister Suffragette" to yourself,
read A Mad, Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs Waller. (Kelly approved.)
If you're looking for an American marrying into the British royal family,
read The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan.
If you're looking for a reminder that social media often hides a messy reality,

If you're looking for a normal girl who finds herself and falls for a famous guy,
read Who's That Girl? by Mhairi McFarlane. (Kelly approved.)
If you're looking for a global dystopia set in an alternate version of England,

ReplyDeleteI'm pretty pleased that I've read most of the books you'd recommend! I still have to check out The Tea Rose, as well as that other Anne Gracie series.
