The first book to make it onto my best books I've read so far this year list was actually a surprise. Thanks to Bridgerton's massive success, Julia Quinn's name is everywhere these days. And I'm chuffed about the whole thing. That said, my Quinn reading up to this point has been sporadic at best. And I'd only read two novels in the actual Bridgerton series. So I decided to rectify that at the beginning of the year by starting with Eloise's story (the fifth in the series) because she is my uncontested favorite of the siblings. I had no idea what her story held, but I knew she would be a compelling lead. I also love the title and the role that letters play in the story. Eloise Bridgerton is tired of everything. She is tired of the endless inane whirl of life among the ton. She is tired of being paraded around and forced to dance and converse with all the wrong men. But most of all she is tired of being suddenly and unexpectedly alone after her best friend Penelo
I really like the cover!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like the groove they've got going on with all three of her covers.
ReplyDeleteBlue butterflys seem to be an in-thing for covers--this is the third I've seen for 2008-2009...
ReplyDeleteStrange.
I read Ink Exchange recently, and enjoyed it much more than I thought I was going to, so now I'm looking forward to this one!
Interesting how there seem to be cover trends like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed INK EXCHANGE, Charlotte. I really did as well. It was so different from WICKED LOVELY that I'm interested to see what kind of tone the third installment takes.
