Because of Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

by Leave a Comment

Every once in a very great while, I enjoy a romance novel of the Harlequin variety. My mom used to read them when I was a kid (and she had at least one very awkward convo with my precocious-reader-self about how those books were not appropriate for me to read (even if left lying around) (and spoiler alert: her reasons only made me more curious)), and my college roommate would occasionally spend a Sunday procrastinating from all her schoolwork by tearing through some truly ridiculous […]

You’re never going to believe who ended up being my hero.

Because of Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

When I sat down to compile my best of/worst of list for 2021, Quinn’s books fell on both. I guess you will have to wait until the lists are published in a couple of weeks, but I will say that I credit the Bridgerton series with getting me out of my pandemic reading slump. They were just the page turners to yank me out of my anxiety jumbled brain. Once I dispensed with the “main” books in the series, I had to hunt down all […]

And all for a spot of snow.

The Further Observations of Lady Whistledown by Julia Quinn, Suzanne Enoch, Karen Hawkins, Mia Ryan

CBR13 BINGO: Old Series (Lady Whistledown Series 2003) BINGO! (The Wilds to Free row) When I finished the Bridgerton books, I snatched up all of the Bridgerton adjacent novels. I figured I would bust them out once the weather got cooler (it will get cooler, right?) and I could curl up with a cup of tea and while away an autumn afternoon with Regency shenanigans. I guess taking advantage of a momentary reprieve of almost 90 degree weather before ramping right back up into the high 80’s AGAIN kinda works? In my […]

I should have known better than to read this book

The Duke and I by Julia Quinn

Content warnings: reproductive coercion I did not like this book, but maybe would have given it three stars if I wasn’t so irate by what I honestly already knew was coming, which is some shady business around one of my “favorite” pet peeves. I also know that general consensus has the latter books are better than this book, and maybe I will get around to reading them. But for now, I am just going to get grumpy and rage-y about this book. First off, a […]

Romancing Mr Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

by 1 Comment

When I found out that the Netflix Bridgerton series was based on a Julia Quinn romance series my first thought was “I bet I have a book from that series sitting on my shelf already.”  I was right! Romancing Mister Bridgerton is the 4th novel in 9 volume series and it is the one I started with because it is the one I had.  I do not think its vital to read the series in order- although characters from the other novels make an appearance, […]

I believe it involved pie.

The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After by Julia Quinn

Just when you thought I was finished here. Prepare the fainting couch, because there is more. MORE. Turns out (a surprise to no one who has already read these books, I imagine) that fans had been anxious about the future fates of the beloved Bridgerton clan after finishing the books so Quinn decided to “answer” their pleas with a series of 2nd epilogues. The epilogues published with each book were mere tidbits and demanding readers were not satisfied! I believe that these 2nd epilogues were […]
