Ah, the Bridgertons! The show that everyone’s grandmother and mother watch on Netflix. I mean, it’s got everything; romance, intrigue, and over-the-top drama! Who wouldn’t like it? It’s another version of Downton Abbey, really. Best of all: it’s based on Julia Quinn’s book series. If you want more you can read more instead of waiting centuries for the next season and the next…<\/p>\n

My mother, in particular, adores Quinn’s books, and the other day she talked about how great Julia Quinn’s Facebook page is; she gives her favorite historical book recommendations on it as well as shares literary news. The other day she posted about giving out extra copies of her Bridgerton<\/em> books in various languages! So cool! We checked the Facebook page together and made the request to see if Quinn would send BAPL any. We quickly got a response and she would send over her books in Portuguese<\/a> as soon as she could. Not long after, we got them!<\/p>\n

Our awesome Technical Services Librarian Sue quickly put them in the catalog and I took a photo of the books in our Foreign Language section at the Main Library to promote it online. Soon a Facebook comment arrived from no other than Julia Quinn herself! Swoon! What a gracious person in addition to being an awesome author.<\/p>\n

Check out the Bridgerton<\/em> books today<\/a> (in whichever language you choose) before Season Two drops in March!<\/p>\n
