See, personally, I'm not at all interested in reading the 2nd Epilogues. The thing is, she includes little tid bits about the formerly written about Bridgertons in her current Bridgerton novels. We know they've all had X amount of children and they're still doing this and that and so and so was published and so and so has art work hanging and blah, blah, blah. That may not make sense to you if you haven't read the series, but for those of you who have, you see what I mean, right?
So why, if she's already kept us up to date about the Bridgertons that have gotten their stories, would she need to write MORE about them? It doesn't make sense to me.
I still want to read On the Way To the Wedding, to finish off the series, but that's it. I'm not interested in revisiting the old characters.
Gosh, did that make ANY sense AT ALL? LOL

hehehe...
First, Sybil, how have you never read a Quinn? I mean, I live in a hole in a tree so I am excused, but hello????
Second, not only do I like HEA but I am one of those all too annoying people who like it to continue. So yes, I was very happy that she is writing the epis and I will buy them, read them and enjoy them.
However, the educated, intelligent and non-gushy fangirl side of me agrees that the epis are just too much. I'm afraid it was a "cave to the reader" move.

I wonder if this is a new marketing tactic. Revive the series for the finale?

I like the Bridgerton series, but I guess I'm not sure the point of these epilogues -- is it just going to be a scene from their daily lives? A short story about people who've already had their HEA? Novellas that just include the Bridgertons?
I don't get it. *scratches head*

Do you have to pay for these?

I was looking at the website and pondering how you get them. You do have to pay for them? No thanks. As Holly pointed out, you see updates on the characters in other books. If it was free I'd think it was great, but it seems like Quinn's just trying to milk every last penny out of the Bridgerton's that she can. It kinda bugs me actually, when so many other authors include extras like this for free, on their sites. I'll read the final Bridgerton book of course, though.

Sybil--you bust me for not reading Foster?? I had at least tried her books before desiding nope. You've never read a Quinn, are you really part of the romance reading world or an alien.
Do I actually have to pay for these additional epilogues?? Why not incorporate them somehow into the last book. Interested, but not enough to pay for them.

I may read them, out of curiosity. But what I really am waiting for is Gregory's story.
Fi ... this definitely smacks of marketing.
