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
Big congrats, Kerry!
ReplyDeleteAnd now, you evil Angie, I'm off to search for Mary Stewart's books...
(again, thank you)
Whee! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm sorry to ask a dumb question, but where can I find your email address to contact you with my address?
I love this one, but it always makes me sad that I cannot wear crisp linen frocks, like the heroine. Mine become wrinkled and wilted almost at once...sigh.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Kerry!!! =)
ReplyDelete*checking my library's online catalog for Madam, Will You Talk?* ;)
Kerry: under her picture on the right, under the heading "Authors/Publishers" there's a contact me link.
ReplyDeleteThanks Azteclady. I found it and have emailed.
ReplyDeleteMy copy of the book arrived today. It looks lovely and very tempting. I am going to have some waiting time at my son's school this morning, so I shall tuck this in my handbag and read while I wait. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteKerry, really? I'm so glad! That was faster than I feared it would be. You are very welcome and I hope you enjoy it.
