...and regular programming comes to a screeching halt while she stares blissfully at a post dedicated entirely to Mr. Thornton's cravats.
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
You know what's funny? I'm watching N&S right now, as we speak, for the first time. He looks just as I imagine Poe would in ten years.
ReplyDeleteYou are not. Seriously? Is it not made of the very most awesome?
ReplyDeleteAlso my brain just exploded at the thought of RA as grown-up Poe. It's too perfect. *dies*
I keep trying to get my mom to watch North and South. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteJanicu, oh man. My mom went nuts over it. I gave it to her for Christmas, we watched it, then she flew back home and watched it again. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. *swooning* That cravat post was...great. Thanks, Ang! Obviously I need to watch it again.
ReplyDeleteHa! Just barely post some Richard Armitage love myself. Too funny.

ReplyDeleteI love him so so much. I need to see what else he is in and then rent them all immediately.
ReplyDeletecravats have got to the sexiest thing that isn't already on a man's body ;)
ReplyDeleteHolly, *grin* I know. Anytime you want to get together and watch it, I am up for it. :)
ReplyDeleteSuey, lol, it's just that kind of day. *goofy grin*
Janssen, I know the feeling. I'm this close to breaking out the BBC Robin Hood and just giving myself over to it.
Aimee, LOL! What is it about them? I can't figure it out. But whatever it is, it's real.
Diana and Angie, I always pictured Po as Viggo Mortensen-y, but Armitage works very well too. Oh, cravats! Hawt :)
ReplyDeleteLove him!
ReplyDeleteRhiannon, Viggo, eh? I hadn't thought of him as Poe before. But Armitage is like a revelation as Poe in 10 years. lol. DH asked me last night if I really thought cravats were hot. I debated my answer and settled for nodding vigorously. ;)
ReplyDeleteJennie, what's not to love? Tall, check! Dark, check! Brooding, check! Killer smile, check!
HAHA! Thank you for the shout-out. That guy really does know how to rock a cravat. :)
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine brought your blog to my attention and I love it! Very clever and funny!
I also LOVE reading, especially young adult and fantasy like you. Have you read the Percy Jackson series? Or the Fablehaven series? (Perhaps you've already reviewed them... I haven't explored your blog entirely.) They're both fun.
Anyway, nice to "meet" you and I'll be dropping by your blog now that I've discovered it for myself. :)
