The Yarra Libraries Podcast is back for 2021! Our librarians have been busy watching Bridgerton and remembering all the regency romances (and tortured dukes) they’ve loved over the years. With some time to go until the next Bridgerton series why not take some of Marcia, Melissa and Connor’s recommendations on the best of the best? Still not convinced? Have a listen to what they feel really appeals about romances set in this brief yet memorable period in history. You can find our curated shelf of regency romance ebooks on Cloud Library, and a list of the books mentioned in this discussion below.
