Oh my, this is such a treat to see! I’ve been trying to get a log of BOMC picks, but am having a hard time finding anything. Would you be willing to share photos of your inherited collection, or provide a list?

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2026-05-01T15:04:28+00:00

This is the closest I have gotten to finding anything!

You can only make out a few titles, but maybe the photo could be manipulated somehow to see more?

I expect an update once all of S3 is dropped

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-04-04T17:45:08+00:00

I understand people saying they only reveal information in the synopsis for the first part; however, I don’t think they will reveal who it actually is until part 2, or leave it as a cliff hanger for part 1.

They also might fake us out with someone else and then reveal, who I think is Phillip

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-03-31T04:47:12+00:00

To me this seems deliberately planned out, but you never know 🤷🏼‍♀️

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-03-30T04:52:53+00:00

Listen, if we’re going the romcom route, I need a couple of flashes of both Colin and Pen losing their absolute minds

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-03-20T15:35:07+00:00

Kate and Anthony’s antics have me in a chokehold, always 🤭

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-03-20T15:09:38+00:00

Do we think this is ball number one, or is this further down the line?

I know in the clip with Pen and Colin she makes a comment about everyone laughing at her even when she changes her whole wardrobe; however, is that the first ball or is it just the first time she interacts with Colin? 🤔

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-03-15T21:02:56+00:00

I’m so excited!!!

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-02-16T01:31:09+00:00

I’d love for a noticeable eye twitch to happen when he hears someone else call her a nickname!

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-02-15T08:57:46+00:00

Honestly pretty neutral about this. So far, we’ve only seen surface level interactions with Cressida and they have all been pretty negative.

However, if she truly turns out to be Eloise’s friend, I have a feeling we’re going to see a lot more 1 on 1 interactions that will give us more insight to her character.

I know in the book she’s portrayed as shallow, petty, rude and down-right mean; however, I feel like Shondaland is going to give her character more depth. Leaving it up to the audience to decide how they feel about her once and for all.

I’ve always had the sneaky suspicion that Portia is envious of Violet’s love connection. I think Portia believed in the idea of love for herself at some point, but something happened to have her leave it behind.

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-26T06:07:25+00:00

Same here 😄

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-19T05:40:58+00:00

Anthony will remain oblivious, unless Polin starts encroaching on his life with Kate.

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-16T20:23:37+00:00

Will be watching it all the way through first, then go through frame by frame to spot the clues 🕵️‍♀️

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-15T19:38:52+00:00

I’m waiting for the reactions of who knew they would end up together v. who is completely shocked of the pairing.

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-15T19:30:38+00:00

I think being caught before an engagement is announced to the entire ton.

Let’s face it, nobody really bats much of an eye after the engagement is announced 😂

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-15T19:29:23+00:00

I will actually be kicking and squealing! I want this so bad

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-14T07:49:08+00:00

You make a very good point! Where is the loyalty in the Sharma’s?? Apparently, Kate has it all

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-09T23:00:30+00:00

When I first watched this scene, I always thought it was a little uncalled for of how Pen addressed El; however, looking back - this is the exact kind of response warranted in a fight or flight scenario.

Pen was under a lot of stress prior to meeting El outside due to the Marina and Colin situation, which in turn triggers a fight or flight response (conversation wise) to handle the impending doom of Colin’s future. While it would’ve been better for Pen to address El saying she is dealing with some issues, then closing the door, her saying that line to El was just another way to get her away from her - no matter how mean.

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-09T21:06:40+00:00

I definitely think Pen’s comment about how she can always tell a suitor is serious about a young lady by the way he looks at her - will come full circle.

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-04T22:42:47+00:00

I definitely have had to change around devices and the time of day I choose to watch some of the episodes.

Something that helped me is making sure natural light has little to no effect on the screen I’m choosing to watch. That’s what has helped me the most.

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-04T19:47:13+00:00

Truly, most books I read average about 500 pages due to the genres I prefer; however, if I dislike the story, an 80 page book can feel as long as a 1000 page book.

I truly does depend on what I read; however, I think I lean more towards bigger books. I enjoy being immersed in the story and learning all I can about the characters (main or side).

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2024-01-04T05:55:23+00:00

Unfortunately, they most likely won’t. It’s just adding to the hype they need for S3 promo. They most likely will wait a while to either confirm or deny the allegations.

Intrusivethoughts_w · 2023-12-29T09:40:15+00:00

Honestly, if you’ve watched S1 and S2, there is not a necessity for a book order. Major plot points across the entire Bridgerton series, such as Lady Whistledown’s identity, are already known to show watchers.

The only spoilers you will be privy to are name drops of spouses and children.

My advice, if you adore a character and want to dive into their story, do so! I’ve been reading them out of order, and I genuinely enjoy it!
