Romancing the Regency, Bridgerton Style
Dearest Gentle Reader, it appears that the latest installment of the Bridgerton television series has set the ton abuzz with excitement—Burling-TON, that is.
So much so, in fact, that bibliophiles in our fine city are clamouring to read the novel that inspired much of this season’s tempestuous plot between Miss Penelope Featherington and Mr. Colin Bridgerton.
Reliable sources tell this author that more than 50 of you have requested a copy of Romancing Mister Bridgerton since Netflix dispensed its most recent masterpiece. You do love a passionate romance! What scandal.
Fear not, however, dear readers. I, unlike Lady Whistledown, would never reveal the names of those who seek to get their hands on this titillating tale.
While you quiver in anticipation of season four, might I suggest a frolic through the Library’s historical romance collection? You’ve plenty of time for reading whilst Shondaland crafts its next eight episodes.
See you in the stacks.
Yours truly, Lady Paperback
