Now, I would not go into a whole biography of this wonderful author and a list of her books... you could search for her in the net (you're surfing it anyway). I suggest to read about her in www.wikipedia.org for a list of her books. What I'll delve into is why I am loving her books (and her as well)!!!
I was browsing the shelves in a local bookstore recently (I spend most of my time in malls just looking at books) and my eyes caught a glimpse of her books under historical romances. After almost an hour of deliberation regarding what book to buy (I did not have enough cash to buy her whole series ~ duh!), I decided to buy "On The Way To The Wedding" which was the last book on her Bridgerton Series. Of course, I would not know that fact until I have opened the book at home.
While reading the book, I feel that TIME Magazine was not wrong to describe her books as 'Smart, Funny'. I experienced the same emotions I feel whenever I read books by Barbara Cartland, Judith McNaught, and Jude Deveraux (who are incidentally my three favorite authors in the romance genre). Her heroines are very much like the modern woman, the type that would not cower and has an ability to speak their own minds. I really admire women like that. It also makes you believe that love could truly conquer any hurdle life pushes at it.

Hopefully, when I have shaken off that moolah-less illness from my purse, I'll venture again into the bookstore for another Julia Quinn novel. But that's probably wishful thinking...
Post Script!!!
I found Julia Quinn's official website and saw that Avon Books are letting us read her book "The Duke and I" online. I have already posted the widget for you to read. Do read it. It's not only a very good book, you are also reading for charity!!!
