Hello, everyone!On today’s episode of The Adaptation, as promised, we are reviewing Bridgerton Season 3, Part 2. At the end of P1, we left off with Pen and Colin finally making the move from friends to lovers. The first half of the season finished with their iconic carriage scene, and Colin proposing to Pen. We all knew the second half of the season would be a complicated one: what would Colin do if he found out Pen was Lady Whistledown? What would Eloise do when she found out her ex-best friend was engaged to her brother? How would every other tiny subplot - of which there were hundreds - tie up amongst these big themes the show needs to cover? Your hosts today were Zara McDonald (@zamcdonald), Eilish Gilligan (@eilishgilligan) and Anjana Khallouf (@anjanakhallouf).This episode was audio produced by Annabelle Lee.Big thanks to Bloomsbury and their A Court of Thorns and Roses series for making this episode possible.

Happy Tuesday, book clubbers!This month, we read The Work by Bri Lee. The Work follows Lally, who has invested everything into her gallery in Manhattan and she’s enjoying it because the sacrifices are finally paying off. We also follow Pat, a scholarship boy desperate to establish himself in Sydney's antiquities scene. When they meet at New York's Armory Show their chemistry is instant. But while the book follows their relationship and how it develops, we also follow their pretty flawed decision-making as they try to make it in the art world.Big thanks to Baileys - Irish Cream Liqueur - for making this episode possible.
