You Have My Attention: Bridgerton First Lines
Tumblr media
I literally cannot believe I haven't done a First Lines for Bridgerton yet!!! Thanks to the Netflix series, Bridgerton itself needs little introduction. However, Julia Quinn still had to catch her readers, and those first sentences are crucial for that. House rules for this one are that we will do the prologue and first chapter first lines (with the exception of When He was Wicked, which just doesn't have a prologue for some reason), because let's face it: We want to meet both our love interests. Let's see how she does it!
Prologue
The birth of Simon Arthur Henry Fitzranulph Basset, Earl Clyvdon, was met with great celebration.
Chapter 1
"Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh!" Violet Bridgertin crumpled the single-page newspaper into a ball and hurled it across the elegant drawing room.
Her daughter Daphne wisely made no comment and pretended to be engrossed in her embroidery.
-- The Duke and I
Prologue
Anthony Bridgerton had always known he would die young.
Chapter 1
"Please don't tell me," Kate Sheffield said to the room at large, "that she is writing about Viscount Bridgerton again."
-- The Viscount Who Loved Me
Prologue
Everyone knew Sophie Beckett was a bastard.
Chapter 1
"Sophie! Sophieeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
As screeches went, it was enough to shatter glass. Or at least an eardrum.
-- An Offer from a Gentleman
Prologue
On the sixth of April, in the year 1812--precisely two days before her sixteenth birthday--Penelope Featherington fell in love.
Chapter 1
"Look at this!" Portia Featherington squealed. "Colin Bridgerton is back!"
-- Romancing Mister Bridgerton
Prologue
It was ironic, really, that it had happened on such a sunny day.
Chapter 1
Eloise Bridgerton smoothed the well-read sheet of paper across her lap.
-- To Sir Phillip, With Love
Chapter 1
In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and clear that one feels as if one’s been hit in the chest, all the breath knocked out, and one knows, absolutely knows without the merest hint of a shadow of a doubt that one’s life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton.
Chapter 2
For all his faults—and Francesca was willing to allow that Michael Stirling had many—he really was the dearest man.
-- When He was Wicked
Prologue
There were four principles governing Gareth St. Clair's relationship with his father that he relied upon to maintain his good humor snd general sanity.
Chapter 1
"Why do we do this to ourselves?" Hyacinth Bridgerton wondered aloud.
-- It's In His Kiss
Prologue
His lungs were on fire. Gregory Bridgerton was running.
Chapter 1
Unlike most men of his acquaintance, Gregory Bridgerton believed in true love.
-- On the Way to the Wedding

Bridgerton Audiobooks Included with Spotify Premium
Tumblr media
I just thought I would put out a note to let anyone who was unaware know that all of the audiobooks in the Bridge-verse written by Julia Quinn are now free to download/stream for Spotify Premium subscribers.
Obviously this isn't paid promotion, but if you had wanted to pick them up, this is a great time if you're a spotify subscriber. I was surprised they were included due to the popularity of the show, but they're all there. I'm currently listening to To Sir Phillip, With Love.
Happy listening! 😘

MAKING A CASE FOR GREGORY TO BE EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE BRIDGERTON.
(Jk, this is just an excuse, like who you want)
Is he my favourite?
Yes.
Why?
Tumblr media
Well......
1. He wants love.
From the start of the book, we are made aware that he has nothing going on and genuinely wants to find love like his siblings.
2. Friends over food.
The way he meets Lucy is him falling in love with Hermonie Watson(👀) and asking Lucy to dance. She pities him enough to carry him to eat because he showed up late and had to go mingle. Basically, they become acquaintances and friends once they decide to set up Gregory with Hermonie.
3. Bro is in love with Kate.
One of the funnier themes in the book is that he goes from saying something he loves about Kate and then compares it to something Lucy does.
4. Alcohol.
He keeps stealing and drinking Anthony's alcohol.
5. Fist fights.
He fights Lucy's brother, Richard, after compromising Hermonie (deserved, earned).
6. The first time they kiss.
I kid you not, I was in shock, tears almost and the energy after this moment never changes. Like genuinely at any point they would've been wed to each other had one person saw them but what makes if crazier is that the only reason it stopped was because Lucy was engaged and she remembered before it escalated
7. Making it everyone's problem.
After he realises he loves her, he makes it everyone's problem. From comparing her to Francesca to embarrassing Violet publicly , even roping Hyacinth in on hijinks, his story is a family event.
8. The Second time they kiss.
Hyacinth is in the other room, they are in Daphne's home and he has orchestrated a plan to propose to her in a closet.
9. They sleep with each other.
To the TSPWL and WHWW girls, step aside for a moment. Gregory breaks into his unofficial fiancé's home in the dead of night, goes to her room, and is eventually seduced by her. They proceed to sleep together, THE DAY BEFORE HER WEDDING TO ANOTHER MAN. They do so three times holding each other, then sleeping together and so on. She's doing it under false pretences because she isn't going to marry him atp.
10. A love like Violet and Edmund's.
They break the Bridgerton record for most kids. At the time of the epilogue, they have 7 kids and are expecting the 8th, they have twins and end up with 9. It's to the oint where the pregnancy impacts Lucy and Gregory let's us know that the amount of kids they have is genuinely due to their lack of restraint.
Tumblr media
11. They name their kids after their siblings.
Lucy actually gets to name one after her best friend, but there is a little Daphne and Anthony running around. Also a Kate.
12. Guns.
There is a gun stand off.
13. Kidnapping.
Gregory breaks the law, again.
14. Gay.
Lucy is pinning over Hermione during the first half, her fiance is gay, the uncle never marries......
15. 9 CHILDREN.
I don't want to understate the fact that they have 9 kids in less than 20 years. It was never that serious. She is 33 when they have their last kid. He's 39. They met at 18 and 24 respectively. 9 kids in 15 years.
Tumblr media
16. LUCY MY LOVE
Me 🫂 Gregory.
She's darling. Throughout the narrative, it's just her making sacrifices for everyone she loves. For her brother, her best friend, even Gregory, it's consistantly her trying.
17. Blue Mushroom.
Please read the book because Drunk Greg>>>
18. Last one.
My baby boy is a horrible shot.
Let me end it on a mood board for my faves.
We do be on the way to a wedding. It certainly was a journey

I finally got a chance to read Gregory's novel, On The Way To The Wedding. I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would and wound up really liking it!
I love that Gregory believes in love. That he's surrounded by so much evidence of love with his siblings' HEAs that it's now just a given. That love exists and his turn is just waiting around a corner. Sure, he doesn't know how to recognise it or when it will happen but it will come.
Which is sweet. And not in an sickly sweet or unbearable way, so kudos to Julia for balancing that fine line.
Lucy was a cute character and the more oblivious one to love. Their problems felt contrived but aren't they usually, when it comes to romance novels? So I just suspended my disbelief and enjoyed it for what it was - a fun romance with a side of adventure.

Whenever Gregory does anything adorable
Lucy: I need him in my bed. Now.
Lucy: I don’t think I’m in love with him. I think he’s just the sweetest man I’ve ever met and I think he’s so handsome, and his smile is really nice and he has hazel eyes and I’ve actually realised that I love hazel eyes. And he has that little bit of hair that curls over his collar and that might be interesting and intriguing to run my fingers through. That’s all.
Lucy after Gregory kissed her: So it turns out all that was actually me being in love. That’s… interesting. And I wish he would stop talking to me as him throwing fistfuls of bread at birds makes me want to drag him back to my bed, so… a concern.

Ok, I'm reading On the Way to the Wedding right now, and Gregory just told Lucy that all four of his sisters can outshoot him, so at SOME POINT Bridgerton better show us all eight siblings target shooting.
And also, I love how it's now low-key canonically supported that if Colin asked Eloise for permission to marry Pen and Eloise made him duel her, it would be a legitimate duel.

Gregory: look I made a marshmallow Anthony !
Gregory: see? His arms are crossed because he’s mad at all the other marshmallow people for annoying him.
Gregory: do you like it?
Anthony: (choked up) it’s fine
