For your dose of levity this gray Tuesday, I present you with:
Warning: the brief bit that follows includes one instance of strong language, but, man, is it awesome.
And now, of course, I really want this shirt.
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 like my shirt.

You'll have to scroll down to yesterday's post.
But the real reason, I came over here- OMG! Dauhter of the Forest-OMG. Marillier is amazing. I'm not totally done. My eyeballs were falling out, and I had to get up extra early to take my daughter to math tutoring, but I don't give a blankety blank about housework or groceries, I'm going to go read. And I'm going to DM you.
I am most definitely a Star Wars fan. And, no, I didn't see your story! Heading over to check it out now...
ReplyDeleteI am utterly thrilled with your response to DotF! Is it not simply wonderful in every way?
