'Waiting On' Wednesday #21: Because of Miss Bridgerton by Julia Quinn

By -
Who absolutely adores the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn? Now romance doesn't feature regularly, heavily on my TBR pile but I still adore it especially when its infused with the homey hilarity that Quinn manages. She's got a golden touch of humor that makes me belly laugh out loud.



DETAILS:
  • Title: Because of Miss Bridgerton
  • Publisher: Avon
  • Publishing date: March 29, 2016
  • Author(s): Julia Quinn
  • Series: Bridgerton

SUMMARY:
Sometimes you find love in the most unexpected of places…
This is not one of those times.
Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband… someday.
Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should…
Or not.
There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest, and heir to the earldom, but he’s arrogant, annoying, and she’s absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can’t stand the sight of him, either.
But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor…
Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can’t abide is the one person they can’t live without...

      Julia Quinn truly does have a rare gift of hilarity. I find her Bridgerton series delightfully entertaining but touching too. And I read so little romance nowadays but her books always go on my TBR list.

      Thanks for stopping by!

    Great pick! I've heard great things about Julia Quinn, but I haven't read this series yet. I don't read too much romance, but I may give this one a try.

      Oh Julia Quinn is wonderful! Hope you have a chance to check her out because when you're in the mood for romance, especially if you read so little of it, she delivers the stories that are affecting and funny.

      Thanks for stopping by!

    I don't read a lot of romance either. But when I do decide to go that route just for a little change up, I love when the author incorporates humour into the mix - it just makes the story at hand that much more interesting.

    I hope you'll enjoy this one!

      Oh Julia Quinn knows how to do affecting and funny so if you ever get a hankering for romance, I would recommend her and especially this series.

    I really like the summary and added it to my The Book Depository Wishlisht. Since it is also under $10 I might actually buy it before the end of the month. I bought over 100 paperbacks last year so it is feasible.

      Oh wow! That's a lot of paperback purchases! However, glad to have included in my WoW a book that interests you. Julia Quinn is wonderful and this series has been ongoing for a long time. Have you read the first in this series? The Duke and I, The Viscount Who Loved Me and Romancing Mr. Bridgeton are my favorites.

      Good luck this year with your book buying purchases and may they all be good reads. :)

    This seems like a long time series! I hope this newest release is everything you hope for! There is just something about series you have and hold for years that you grow so attached to them and can never have enough :)

    I've only just gotten into historical romance, and I haven't tried Julia Quinn yet, but I looove the sound of this. And the promise of a bit of laughter is the best! Wonderful pick!

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. If you follow me on Goodreads, you'll know I'm about 21 books behind my goal of reading 100 books this year. No pressure! None, right? Anyone else panic when they log onto Goodreads or feel awfully proud when they're going on to write a review? That's me lately, LOL!  --> An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir --> Lock & Mori by Heather Petty --> Cress by Marissa Meyer --> Attachments by Rainbow Rowell --> Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell --> Half Wild by Sally Green --> Jackaby by William Ritter --> Read Between the Lines by Jo Knowles --> The DUFF by Kody Keplinger   --> My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories edited by Stephanie Perkins

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. So there's a lot of overlap with this list and the beach reads from a couple of weeks ago. However, I did already get Jackaby and Throne of Glass books off the list. Do hope to get more reviews written... and I'm a Percy Pack blogger for Fangirlish so it's going to be a lot of fun over there if you want to check out the special posts for the 10th Anniversary celebration of that series.  To All the Boys I Loved Before by Jenny Han P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins Emmy and Oliver by Robin Benway Denton Little's Deathdate by Lance Rubin A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J.

#TopTenTuesday: Ten Authors I AutoBuy

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. First list that was really easy for me to put together. However, I fear that my choices are beginning to sound like a broken record. Have any of you noticed the same names tend to show up every week? Rainbow Rowell has not written one thing that I have not fallen in love with nearly immediately. So yeah, anything and everything... I own all her books including the anthologies she has written for and will continue to buy her books unabashedly. Garth Nix is most excellent and I have adored him for a very, very long time. He has written one of my favorite heroines - Sabriel! My daughter and son adore his books as well which makes him a fantastic addition to this list. Jonathan Stroud snuck up on me. I had read the Bartimaeus trilogy but then he released an eerie middle grade series - Lockwood & Co. Such a very fun, spooky read but great mystery series wit...
