I enjoy reading Julia Quinn, her books are full of smart dialogue, fun banter and funny scenes.When I read JQ I want something fast, funny and light, her books are the kind of books you can't retell a friend the story later, because their enjoyment is in the language.
A lot of people seem to like her Bridgeton series, but I seem to like these the least, I haven't read all of them, but "When He Was Wicked" is my fav Bridgeton so far.
And then there is "What Happens In London". I love this book, I LOVE Harry, and I love that drawing room scene.
Interesting, Jewel. That is one of my favs in the Bridgerton series, too. However, I don't think it is as funny and light as the others in the series. I'm getting ready to re-read it next month, so let's see if it is as I remember.
Hi Lisa Kay, yes it was defiantly not light, but for some reason I totally connected with the main character. A re-read sounds great, I should think about that as well sometimes.
I wish this series would come out on audio. However, another group I'm in is re-reading the series and we are set to start this one this month. (I was mistaken in Post #3 - it isn't next month; I had to go check.)
The reasons you gave - fast, funny, light - are the same reasons I pick up a JQ. Yet,
is my favorite in the series - at least it used to me. We'll see if it still holds up.

I sometimes find that some books are better read just once.However I have read What Happens in London three times and enjoyed as much every time.
I've read The Lost Duke of Wyndham and Mr. Cavendish, I Presume and I loved them. Like Jewel said, she has wonderful dialogue. And I love the way her descriptions really allow you to get into the characters emotionally. I've picked up Dancing at Midnight which is her second novel from what I understand. There's a bunch more I want to read, but so many books, so little time!
I've loved most of what she has written. There were maybe 2 or 3 of her books that only got 3 stars from me. But I've read almost everything she has published to date so that's not bad.
