READING THE BRIDGERTON BOOK // the duke and I reading vlog

[@princessissii]

I`m sooo happy you brought back the tea test *.*

[@ciarascorner]

Hahah I’m so glad! I was missing it so excited to bring it back!

[@jof8581]

In love with your channel, books vegan food and yoga AND tea and now bridgerton, what could be better!! ❤❤

[@ciarascorner]

Aww thank you so much!💕💕💕

[@mariboechat11]

Oh I'd love to watch you reading more of the series! I didn't enjoy the first book, but I'd like to know if the rest of the series is actually good.

[@ciarascorner]

Ooh interesting - I’m really keen to see how the rest of the series turns out!

[@cozyinmycorner]

same just finished it it was horrible

[@constanzathomas1586]

love love love your jumper collection! x

[@ciarascorner]

Thank you!!

[@EvieVictoria]

I love the Yorkshire tea toast and jam as well as the biscuit tea 😍 I watch you for reading inspo as I want to read more but spend wayyy too much time on my phone or distracted so any tips on how to delve into reading would be amazing!!

[@ciarascorner]

Oooh I have the biscuit one too - so good! And honestly, that’s something I really struggle with too - it’s so easy to reach for your phone so maybe putting it out of reach while reading and maybe setting a timer to read for 30 minutes without touching your phone!

[@danielleyarbrough8274]

Love here's the tea but would love to see you read the other 7 Bridgerton books. I'm currently making my way through the 1st book😍

[@ciarascorner]

Ooh yay - will definitely make vlogs for the other books!

[@luoiv7682]

@@ciarascorner That would make such a great 24 hour readathon!

[@Kpopheaven]

I love your vlogs! They are so cozy and comfy to watch. And they make me want to drink some earl grey tea, even tho I'm more of a coffee drinker :D

[@ciarascorner]

Aww thank you - Earl Grey is delicious haha!

[@veebahena]

your vlogs are my absolute favorite ! they go so well with my cup of coffee ☕️ thank you for this and take care 🤍

[@ciarascorner]

aww thank you! 💕

[@ariannelg]

Can’t wait to hear about the other before I invest myself in a 8 book series 😂

[@ciarascorner]

Hahhaha very wise😂

[@virginiasainz-rasines217]

We don't have pancake's day in Uruguay, but we love to eat them with dulce de leche, have you try it? Taste like caramel, but is so much delicious.

[@sb3626]

I really enjoyed the series I love how the siblings grow!

[@ciarascorner]

I’m so excited to read more!

[@mundanehauntings]

Yay a new video! Now I am motivated to read and even do a readathon myself :)

[@ciarascorner]

Aww yay, I’m so glad!

[@dobyemable]

I loved hearing your thoughts on the book! I’m going to have to pick it up to read it now 😂

[@ciarascorner]

Ooh yay - I hope you enjoy it!

[@hayleyelmes7174]

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts of the other Bridgerton books!!! I’m currently reading the third one. The second was much much better then the first in my opinion 😊 and the third is looking to be even better then the second. I’m looking forward to the forth the most because Colin seems such a sweetie!!!

[@ciarascorner]

A lot of people seem to love the second book! I’m really excited for Eloise’s book!

[@annemontgomery3890]

They say the "to sir Phillipe, with love" is the best one. I'm loving the first one for sure

[@dr.suezettealoysiaandcarla1664]

Yess, we love T-E-A also. Have you ever heard of the Wissotzky Tea Magic Tea Chest?

[@ciarascorner]

Hahah tea is the best! And ooh, no I haven’t heard of it!

[@katyamurray]

Pancake Day has roots in Christianity. It's typically called "Shrove Tuesday." It's a thing in most countries with large Christian populations. I think as things have become more secular, it's been referred instead to as Pancake Tuesday. My kids typically are served pancakes at school except it had to be cancelled this year due to COVID. Wish we could get that toast & jam version of Yorkshire in Canada! I can only find the biscuit speciality version, the toast and jam looks so yummy!

[@ciarascorner]

I went to church schools so definitely know about shrove Tuesday but really I’m just here for the pancakes and for some reason totally forgot about that when I was wondering if other countries celebrate it (lockdown brain)😂 I hope you can get the toast and jam tea eventually, it’s so yummy!

[@annemontgomery3890]

Mardi gras is known quite well in that name, unless they're not the same day

[@pagesandscreens4321]

Love this video! I have just finished watching the show and have read the first two books I loved both of them but I totally agree with you on the issue of consent and male rape (particularly in the book) it made me really uncomfortable and I wish it had been looked into more deeply. I would absolutely love to see you reading the next books in the series as I have every intention of reading them all myself too :D

[@ciarascorner]

Glad you agree! It’s such a shame it was handled that way! But I’m really excited for the rest of the series!

[@littledevonnook]

Toast and jam tea blows my mind! Who comes up with this stuff?! My favourite tea at the moment is peppermint and liquorice from Pukka :) love the music you chose to go along with this vlog! I really need to get on with watching Bridgerton.

[@ciarascorner]

Hahhaa this is my favourite comment! And oooh, I’ll definitely try and find that tea!

[@dudacavalcante9236]

can´t wait for you to read the rest of the series!! the other books are sm better

[@ciarascorner]

That makes me so excited!

[@emilyemilyemily81]

Love vlogs like this while I drink my tea and eat some cake 😆

[@ciarascorner]

Oooh love it!

[@andreeastiopu1831]

I can’t wait to hear your reviews about the other books in the series. Xo

[@ciarascorner]

I’m really excited to read them!

[@sunshinelorena]

I read this earlier in the month. I definitely prefer the TV series. I missed all the other characters, but I am going to read book 2 and see how it goes

[@ciarascorner]

The show is SO good, but I’m excited to see how the books progress!

[@ariannelg]

I’m reading Les Miserables and I also included a soundtrack with my reading experience and it’s so nice!!! First time I tried it was when I was reading Harry Potter with those ambience KZbin videos of the Gryffindor common room. I think it works well with non contemporary/fantasy reading because it “transports” us to the books world 🙂

[@ciarascorner]

Ooh I love the channel Ambient Worlds for those relaxing videos to listen to whilst reading!

[@deepaification]

Toast and jam flavoured tea....Oooooo.... 😀

[@ciarascorner]

Hahha so yum!

[@caitlincaloregreenbriar2832]

i just finished the book yesterday! i’ve read the Dutch version (bc in Dutch lol) and that book has like 100 pages more than the English one :0

[@ciarascorner]

Oh wow ahhaha!

[@BhushanBoudhankarofficial]

Wow Ciara! Awesome😀

[@ciarascorner]

Thanks Bhushan!

[@manal_nizam]

I want pancakes right now and I am so disappointed to report that maple syrup is finished 😭

[@ciarascorner]

Oh no!! 💔💔💔

[@Tabbyhenne]

I`m also currently reading the first book and I have to say... I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would (especially after watching the show). The prose is quite bad; and I constantly find myself getting pulled out of the story because of it. I'm 150 pages in and we're only on the second encounter of Simon and Daphne and so far there's no other side-storyline.

[@ciarascorner]

Ahh that’s a shame - there aren’t really any side storylines, it basically just focuses on Simon and Daphne! I agree it’s not the best writing but I kind of expected that so didn’t mind too much!

[@annemontgomery3890]

She does a great job at imitating Jane austen but in a modern way. I've been loving it!

[@ReadwithStefani]

I binged through all books, the second one was by far the best, the 8th one the weakest. The Duke and I was so so for me.

[@ciarascorner]

I’ve heard lots of good thinks about the second book!

[@monaedoyle3631]

Good afternoon. I haven’t read The Duke and I. I am more of a reader of contemporary romance. I like reading contemporary romance. I am in the middle of reading a really good book by an author that I like.

[@ciarascorner]

Yeah, I typically gravitate to contemporary romance - in fact, this is my first ever historical romance read! But I’m definitely glad I gave this book a try!

[@jamesduggan7200]

Isn't it nice to read for enjoyment?

[@ciarascorner]

Absolutely - after doing an English degree and having to read critically it was SO nice to get back to just reading for fun and enjoyment!

[@paigebarker5649]

You should see how many Bridgerton books you could read in 24 hours x

[@ciarascorner]

Ooh that would be fun!

[@ANA-il6js85]

Im waitting for my first three books to arive, and for someone who likes to read scandi crime the most this is totally not my taste 😂 But sometimes you need a bit of fun light read especially in this times.

[@ciarascorner]

Hahha oh wow, a very different genre - I hope you enjoy them!

[@grodriguez7225]

☕️ 🍓 🍞 🧈‼️ Yum‼️ I love how your sweaters match the cover of the Duke & I! Ps: I’m almost done with Orpheus Girl and it’s still on the bleak side luckily I managed to lighten the mood with some other books. Like Pride & Prejudice; at the part where Bingley has returned which makes me so happy because I love it when he and Jane get back together! I haven’t got any further than in A Girl’s Guide To Tea & Tomorrow but soon. As for Heartless I think I should be done with soon, it’s still as good as I remember it! Then I decided to pick up The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey; and I’ve managed to get up 19 chapters, and 117 pages‼️ Wish me luck‼️

[@ciarascorner]

Aww thank you!!
