The Oscars

February 23, 2007

I’m looking forward to the Academy Awards on Sunday night. :popcorn:  I like watching the red carpet arrivals to see what everyone’s wearing, and I also love the unexpected moments that often happen during the ceremony. There are a lot of wonderful nominees, but the one I’d most love to see win is Jennifer Hudson.  

Who are you cheering for? :cheer:

Romancing Mister Bridgerton

February 15, 2007

Romancing Mister Bridgerton

Romancing Mister Bridgerton, the fourth book in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series, was heartfelt and romantic. Colin and Penelope shared a deep and beguiling chemistry that continued to grow throughout the novel. With enchanting characters, a delightful story, and a thoroughly satisfying ending, Romancing Mister Bridgerton was a joy to read.

Here’s the back cover blurb:

“Everyone knows that Colin Bridgerton is the most charming man in London.”
Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, March 1824

Penelope Featherington has secretly adored her best friend’s brother for…well, it feels like forever. After half a lifetime of watching Colin Bridgerton from afar, she thinks she knows everything about him, until she stumbles across his deepest secret…and fears she doesn’t know him at all.

Colin Bridgerton is tired of being thought nothing but an empty-headed charmer, tired of the neverending sameness of his life, and, most of all, tired of everyone’s preoccupation with the notorious gossip columnist Lady Whistledown, who can’t seem to publish an edition without mentioning him in the first paragraph. But when Colin returns to London from a trip abroad, he discovers nothing in his life is quite the same–especially Penelope Featherington! The girl who was always simply…there is suddenly the girl haunting his dreams. But when he discovers that Penelope has secrets of her own, this elusive bachelor must decide…is she his biggest threat–or his promise of a happy ending?
