Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Other Things
By this time, you’ve probably heard about the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). I don’t have any ad trackers on my site, but I do have a few subscriptions readers can use to stay connected: this JuliaQuinn.com Site News feed and my JQ Newsletter. Each does different things. Neither list is ever shared.
I have been re-permissioning my newsletter list all month, to be doubly sure everyone explicitly consents to giving me their information. Huge gratitude to everyone who has clicked on that link in their newsletter. If you haven’t seen these newsletters, please check your spam folder, or just go ahead and resubscribe if that’s easier. Thanks!
I’ve have also updated my privacy policy and I want to take a moment to remind you of my ongoing commitment to keeping you informed about how JuliaQuinn.com stores and uses the information we collect, including how we use Cookies, (this is different in the EU, and that info is not quite live, but will be shortly).
Cookies are integral to so many parts of running this site. From making sure all my pretty fonts show up to the Facebook feed on my home page and so much more… Cookies. They make the internet go ’round.
Cookies of the chocolate chip variety are not part of my site — but in honor of the occasion, there is a giant one on a wee plate in front of me as I type this. Or rather, half of a giant cookie. Yum!

New Publication Date for The Other Miss Bridgerton
The Other Miss Bridgerton will now be released on November 20, 2018. This is four months later than originally planned, but JQ says she’d rather the book be good than done. TOMB (what an acronym!) is available for pre-order. You can even get it autographed!
What’s sooner than November 20? This weekend JQ will be a featured author at the Hawai’i Book & Music Festival (it’s a rough gig, but someone has to fill in the ranks). JQ has added her schedule for the event to her calendar. What’s after Honolulu for JQ? Bellevue, WA in October. As ever, JQ’s Events calendar has all the details.

The Duke and I: one of the Top 50 Essential Romances in Audio
Audible loves JQ not once, but twice! Not only are two of JQ’s audio books on sale this week (see below), but the Audible editors just listed their Romance Essentials List: “50 books we believe are must-listens for romance fans,” and The Duke and I made the list! The review calls narrator Rosalyn Landor “the best Regency voice.” JQ couldn’t be more pleased! (Team JQ has listened to 12 JQ titles read by Ms. Landor, and heartily agrees!)
Enjoy this five minute sample of The Duke and I in audio →
Meanwhile, Just Like Heaven (the first in JQ’s Smythe-Smith Quartet) and Because of Miss Bridgerton (Rokesbys, Book 1) are on each on sale from Audible for $4.95 (over 75% off!) through Sunday FEBRUARY 25. Don’t miss it!

Read on for Audible’s essential review of The Duke and I: “Why We Think It’s Essential: The Duke and I marks the start of an all-time great love affair…between Regency romance fans and the Bridgertons. The eight-book series follows the romantic adventures of an aristocratic (but strangely loveable) British clan as they waltz through the glitz and glamour of London’s renowned marriage mart. It has also introduced many newcomers to the genre, and confirmed Julia Quinn as one of its very best voices. Paired with narrator Rosalyn Landor (who is ACTUALLY the best Regency voice), The Duke and I will charm anyone looking for a sweet yet simmering historical romp. Most recently, Quinn kicked off a new prequel spin-off series, when it became clear that neither she nor her fans were done with the Bridgertons.”
