Autographed for the Holidays?
What could be better than a Signed-by-JQ gift? It’s not too late! But shipping realities being what they are, TeamJQ has some information and dates to keep in mind, and a few ideas to help make your JQ-gifting a holiday reality.
JQ’s TIMING: If you’ve been following JQ on her socials, you know she’s currently on holiday with family through December 17. She’s planning to go to the bookstore the day after her return. So please order by December 17.
PERSONALIZED ORDERS: As ever, JQ is happy to personalize books (please see step 3 in JQ’s HOW TO ORDER section on this site’s autographed page), but personalized orders won’t ship until after December 18 (and be sure to order by December 17).
SIGNED BY JQ, BUT NOT PERSONALIZED? “Quinn Central” as they call it at University Bookstore, is currently bursting with books, games, puzzles, and tea tins that JQ pre-signed before she left on her trip. If you don’t want/need your order personalized, place your order, and if your selection is still in stock, the bookstore will ship right away.
SHIPPING: Whether you order personalized or not, we recommend you select 2-day shipping. Even so, the bookstore cannot guarantee a Christmas delivery (and for sure not a Hanukkah delivery) even with 2-day shipping. Please plan accordingly.
IN THE SEATTLE AREA? YES! You can pick up your order and bypass all this shipping nonsense. Select “Pickup in Store” before you Add to Cart. If you want your order personalized, be sure to order by December 17.
NOTE TO ELF: Worried your order won’t make it in time for your holiday celebration? Why not print out the image of the Signed-by-JQ gift you have ordered, then write out that it’s in the mail, and wrap the printout. Voila! Problem solved. (For those who haven’t printed out an image before without printing the whole page, simply right-click on the book cover and select Open Image in New Tab and then print. Easy-peasy!)
Happy December!

The Queen Arrives in Bookstores! Chapter One is now Posted!
THE BOOK: Queen Charlotte — the powerful and romantic companion novel to the Netflix series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story — is NOW AVAILABLE in hardcover, ebook, and audio. Written by Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes, this is the Bridgerton-verse’s take on Queen Charlotte & King George III’s love story, and how their union sparked a societal shift.
For the first time online, you can read Chapter One from Queen Charlotte. Then order your copy and keep reading. But wait — what’s the buzz you’ve been hearing about the hardcover’s book jacket?
THE COVER: It’s reversible! One book jacket, two covers. Get the scoop from the authors themselves…
BOOK TOUR & SIGNED BOOKS: JQ is on book tour right now, but if you weren’t able to make it to one of her events, you can still order a signed copy — personalized if you wish — of Queen Charlotte. Get your copy autographed from JQ’s favorite neighborhood bookstore, University Book Store in Seattle. They carry all JQ books, and they ship worldwide.
And bonus: every book comes with a bit of author-esque swag: a beautiful bookmark (one of three different designs — which will you get?) and a magnet. And also, signed copies of the graphic novel Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron come with pigeons (sort of). Ordering your signed JQ books is easy.
*Please note that Queen Charlotte will be autographed by JQ only; Shonda Rhimes is not able to sign the books.
