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
Aw. All looking happy and healthy and cute. And you can kind of tell they're siblings.

ReplyDeleteHaha, my niece is so happy when she gets to wear her ballet makeup too! Gorgeous kids.
ReplyDeleteLove these photos - their individuality really shines through, and Finn's expression!! Also, I remember when I got to wear my mum's blusher for school concerts - made my day :-)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Heidi. And I can't even think about Will being a teenager or I have to go lie down.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like that they look like they belong. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marg!
