The first part of series three of Bridgerton has hit Netflix, so today seems like the ideal time to remind you about my series post about the books that inspired the Shondaland series. We’ve reached Colin and Penelope’s story, which means we’re getting closer to my favourite book in the series When He Was Wicked, and I’m optimistic that we might get some of the set up for that in series three as well, as we’ve hardly seen anything of Francesca so far, and they need to get her married off ready for that now. I am sort of fascinated by how they’re going to deal with the parallel timelines of these three books.
Anyway, as I said in my other post, the books are very much the basis for the series – they’re 20 years old now and the romance world has moved on a little bit. The Netflix version has fixed some things on that front, so don’t go in to the books expecting them to be just like the show. But they’re still a nice read – especially if you want to see what the series might do next!
Have a great weekend everyone – especially if you’re watching Bridgerton – and as a little bonus, here’s a set tour from Architectural Digest!
