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
Oh my lord, this is adorable! I hope you had a great halloween (with not TOO much candy ;p )

ReplyDeleteSo cute! Now I want one of those strawberry hats for myself!
ReplyDeleteSo freaking cute. This picture is adorable. I love how strawberry is gnawing on soldier's hand. :p
ReplyDeleteLol. Thanks, guys. A lovely friend of mine made the strawberry hat for me when Will was born and I have always loved it.
ReplyDeleteOh man, WAY too cute!
ReplyDeleteWill even has that soldier aura about him, with the leg slung over the arm of the chair and the contemplative look in his eyes. And the little strawberry is too cute for words!
ReplyDeleteWhat a completely adorable strawberry hat!
ReplyDeleteGrin. Yeah, he was very into his role.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh, you make beautiful children. My dad and I looked at a bunch of pics on Aaron's blog. Piper is too pretty for words and getting big. Love the costumes!
