I like fantasy and thrillers, but if it's one a lot of friends have enjoyed, I'll usually try it.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588654905702468164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-61142879801116749992016-07-08T23:48:23.282+10:002016-07-08T23:48:23.282+10:00I might have to read it.

I don't know why I haven't added it yet. Maybe it's the whole "chick lit" thing. Maybe it's the fact that I'm not really that interested in the royal family. Who knows? I do like to step out of my comfort zone once in a while, though, so this might be the right book for that.<br /><br />I love that Kristen saved the day by sending it to you! I hate when my library doesn't have a book I really want to read. They do give you the opportunity to submit up to 5 purchase requests every month (which is very awesome!), but it's not like they always order everything. (And really, how could they? They don't have unlimited funding.) I've also run into an issue where they say they've ordered a book but then I can't locate it in the catalog. And I don't mean that they tell me it's been ordered, and then I can't find it in the catalog 3 days later. I mean that they tell me it's been ordered and then I can't find it 6 months later. I don't understand that. I really need to contact them about a couple of books like this, but I've had plenty of other books to keep me busy ... So it always just gets pushed to the back burner.<br /><br />Anyway, this comment is getting too long. Basically I'm glad you enjoyed this book, and I'm adding it to my list. Oh, and I also need to comment on several of your other posts. I've been reading everything, but I've been terrible about leaving comments lately. Whomp whomp. I will soon. :-)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757174923718324262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-60133170157843012372016-07-08T05:35:41.164+10:002016-07-08T05:35:41.164+10:00Chick lit is my guilty pleasure (even though I don...Chick lit is my guilty pleasure (even though I don't usually love it) but I really did love 'The Royal We'! <a href="http://thebenroecks.com" rel="nofollow"> -- Lisa | Naptime Chai </a>Lisa @ Naptime Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661999435893416022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-51011836604232030902016-07-08T03:18:32.657+10:002016-07-08T03:18:32.657+10:00my fellow expat, but opposite <3 hahaha. love i...my fellow expat, but opposite <3 hahaha. love it. i really can't tell you how happy i was that you loved this book. made me so happy!!!Kristen @ See You In A Porridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592108031437491276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-67718379056984034342016-07-08T02:58:49.401+10:002016-07-08T02:58:49.401+10:00I NEED to read the Royal We!

I'm not a huge fan of chick lit in general, but when it is done well (as this seems to be) it is really enjoyable.

I cried a bit too, which I wasn't expecting. I'm glad you stepped out of your comfort zone and enjoyed this one! And yay for Kristen on "saving the day"!
