It’s almost time for the next season of Netflix’s “Bridgerton” to arrive, and we can’t wait to reunite with the Bridgertons, the Featheringtons, Lady Danbury, Queen Charlotte, and the rest of the ton! To pass the time until then, why not revisit Julia Quinn’s series of historical romance novels that inspired the show? Published between 2000 and 2006 (with a final “epilogue” published in 2013), Quinn’s novels tell the story of the wealthy Bridgerton family in Regency-era England. Each of the eight siblings gets their own book and their own unique path to a romantic happily ever after.
The TV adaptation has made plenty of changes to the books’ storylines, and it has even shifted the order of the siblings’ stories. If you’re looking to read the Bridgerton books in order, here’s a guide to what order to read them in and what you can expect:
1. The Duke and I
2. The Viscount Who Loved Me
3. An Offer From a Gentleman
4. Romancing Mister Bridgerton
5. To Sir Phillip, With Love
6. When He Was Wicked
7. It’s In His Kiss
8. On the Way to the Wedding
So if you’re looking for a way to pass the time until the next season of “Bridgerton” arrives, why not dive into Julia Quinn’s series of historical romance novels? You won’t regret it!
