#1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn loves to dispel the myth that smart women don't read (or write) romance, and and if you watch reruns of the game show The Weakest Link you might just catch her winning the $79,000 jackpot. She displayed a decided lack of knowledge about baseball, country music, and plush toys, but she is proud to say that she aced all things British and literary, answered all of her history and geography questions correctly, and knew that there was a Da Vinci long before there was a code.
A graduate of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, Ms. Quinn is one of only sixteen members of Romance Writers of America’s Hall of Fame. Her books have been translated into 32 languages, and she lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest.
The Bridgertons, her popular series of historical romance, is currently in production by Shondaland as a Netflix original series starring Julie Andrews, Phoebe Dynevor, and Rége-Jean Page.
Admittedly Netflix was the reason I ended up buying the books. I did not regret it. The only book I would say was slow was 'To Sir Philip with love', my favourite was and still is 'When he was wicked'. I would recommend reading the series in order.
These books are by far much better than the shows they vomited up claiming the books as inspiration. Julia obviously wasn’t proud of her writing to allow such blasphemy to come to fruition. The books give you hope, love and respect. It’s not about throwing a boob over one’s should or masquerading as fake fine women. There was substance in the books & allowed you to care about the characters. Not about who the wanked later in the show. Books=greatness. The show that she gave them to=crap. If you want to read these because you loved the show, move on. Your taste is obviously lacking.
