⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Bridgerton prequels kick off with a bang. Or more appropriately it jumps off. With all the charm of the original series we're living the tales of the previous generation this time, beginning at familiar Aubrey Hall with a determined Billie. #2-2023
another romance series re-read come and gone. I can‘t even tell you how many times I‘ve read my favorites of this series. Julia Quinn started my obsession with historical romances and I‘ll always give her that credit. I love the characters of this series and their stories so much (well of 3 of 4)
So cute. Full of the Bridgerton charm and the obligatory game of Pall Mall!
Not up to the Bridgerton series but cute enough to hold my interest.

First goal completed!
Loved this first book in the Rokesby series, which is a companion series to Quinn‘s mega popular Bridgerton Family Saga.
Really enjoyed this family friends to lovers romance!!
Jumping into the #readathon
My goals are:
🗝 Finish Because of Miss Bridgerton
🗝 Finish Breakthrough Advertising
🗝 Read 1 more TBD book!!
@Andrew65
This should be fun!!
Excited for more from Julia Quinn! #bridgerton
I loved it! I loved the characters in this and it was really nice reading a Bridgerton story that I didn‘t already have ideas of who the characters were and what they were like. I enjoyed the story and felt really invested in the characters and I was so pleased with the ending
I only finished 5 books in February. Chalking that up to a short month, plus going on a short vacation (with no reading done that week at all). Hoping to be out of this reading slump in March.
Tagged book was a great addition to the Bridgerton extended universe. I really liked the development of the romance (a twist on friends/enemies to lovers trope), although I found the espionage subplot silly to the point of being completely pointless.
A book from the world of the Bridgertons. Typical romance. What made this story is the narrator, Rosalyn Landon, who does a magnificent job.

Binged the remainder of Bridgeton this afternoon - perfect timing for some lush costumes, romance, swishing and partying! Loved it!
A cosy afternoon with lush period costumes and over the top characters! It‘s fun! #booktoscreen
It‘s true-I‘m sucked in. Ran my laptop battery down so I‘m going to do something else. Watched the first 3 episodes anc I‘m sure I‘ll watch a 4th yet today. The books are better but the ballgowns are exquisite!
I accidentally read this prequel series out of order about a year ago. I needed something light and the newest book is out, so I‘m re-reading them again! I love that this romance starts with the main characters getting stuck on a roof for several chapters; a fun, creative way to watch the tables turn on two old acquaintances who learn to love.
#UnpopularOpinion time - despite the warm, positive reviews, this one fell so flat for me. I listened to it, so a lot could be attributed to the narration (I didn‘t connect with the narrator). I‘ve read other books by Quinn and liked them; this one, not so much. I felt the plot sequence really dragged in parts, and I just didn‘t warn to the characters. Oh well!
Because of the unpopular opinion, this fits for #GrowUp #BBRC
I listened to this entire book while crocheting last night and it was delightful. It‘s been awhile since I read a historical romance.
#quotsyjune19 @TK-421 “Billie laughed at that, full and throaty, and once again she became so incandescently beautiful that George was half-tempted to throw a #blanket over her, just to stop anyone else from wanting her.”
George Rokesby and Billie Bridgerton have known each other all their lives and can‘t stand each other. Naturally it must be love. I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit.
It was nice enough this morning that I could sit outside and read while waiting for my sister to come pick me up for my nieces orchestra contest. Ok, it was only 40 degrees but the sun was shining, which makes a huge difference.
A very fun read, this is the first book by Julia Quinn that I've read and I loved it. It was fun and sassy with plenty of adventure. I will most definitely be looking for more books by Ms. Quinn.

I‘ve not read this one but I‘ve read others by the author and have enjoyed them. Maybe someday I‘ll get to this one!
Absolutely loved it!!! So glad to see it live up to all the hype!!
Ok so this is my first romance book on audio because I always thought it would be kind of weird. I‘m not a huge romance reader, but not because I have anything against them, I just haven‘t found anything to seriously hook me. However....I really am liking this on audiobook so far!!! I may have found just the thing to listen to to encourage me to work out at the gym more!
Happy St Patrick's Day!! #juliaquinn #lisakleypas

Sometimes, it‘s nice to sink into some #historicalromance 😍❤️ #lightreading #love #juliaquinn #rokesby
Heading out on the first work trip of the year. 😭 At least I‘ve got these beauties to keep me company on the flight to Paris. Two more packed and a stocked kindle app for the week.
I‘d rather be home reading with the littles nearby. But I‘ll get started on my #litsyclassics challenge at least with Agnes Grey.
A very enjoyable read. Witty and fun, and just the distraction I needed. Julia Quinn's proving to be a new favourite romance author. #romance #summerreads
Seven hours read for the #24in48 readathon. Most of those hours have been spent listening to the audiobook of "Because of Miss Bridgerton" by Julia Quinn. It's not my favorite of Quinn's books but it is still entertaining and an easy listen.
I'm stressed from work and needed something fun to read. Two chapters in and I'm hooked. This is proving to be as amusing as the first book I read by her. #romance #historical #summerreading
Same model?
Mass markets make good #beachreads because they easily fit in a bag and are inexpensive enough to replace if damaged by water or sand. Here are some from my shelves by women. #readingwomenmonth
One from the library book bag for the train to work tonight. I've been waiting to read this and this week seems like an ideal time. #romantsy
No one does witty banter quite as well as @JuliaQuinn . It was a Bridgerton novel that first made me into a romance reader (Romancing Mister Bridgerton, if you're curious), and all these years later, they are still among my favorite characters to visit. I loved meeting George and Billie and watching their story unfold! #romantsy #romance
Sweet deal!

I have read a lot of unenthusiastic reviews of this one but I was delighted from page one. There was the perfect blend of Julia Quinn humor and a sweet romance where two people who known each other their entire lives finally truly see each other. Add in the mallet of death and you have a Saturday afternoon happily spent. #romantsy
Not the book I am supposed to be reading today. I'm glad I am such a rebel.
This book was conveniently on top of my library book tbr stack. #dressesoncovers
I don't read a lot of historical romance anymore but when I do I tend to read Julia Quinn. I picked this one up since it was a Goodreads finalist (and I just voted for it!)
I love enemies-to-lovers and this was a sweet read but I could have used more sparks between the two. I'm totally good with slow burn but I wasn't quite sure what truly caused the change of feelings.
