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
Nerd love is so cute! That should be a Valentines day card :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! If you love stormtroopers doing funny things, Google "stormtroopers 365", stefan's flickr makes me laugh every day :)
ReplyDeleteRhiannon, lol. That's a great idea!
ReplyDeletepepsivanilla, ooh, I'll just go do that.
Completely unrelated comment, Angie. I'm reading a YA novel called A Brief History of Montmaray. I'm only 68 pages in but I think it's lovely so far. I've never read I Capture the Castle, but I pulled my copy off the shelf yesterday because a blurb on the back cover of Montmaray compares them. I haven't seen any blogger reviews of this, but the trade reviews have been very good. I think it's a book you'll enjoy. Karen
