the secret diaries of miss miranda cheever by julia quinn

She begins journaling, at his recommendation, and it is a habit she keeps through the next ten years. Olivia’s older brother, Nigel (but don’t call him that – he goes by Turner) accompanies Miranda home to her father after the party and they share a conversation that Miranda memorizes, because she realizes that she is in love with Turner.

We meet Miss Miranda Cheever at the tender age of 10, attending the birthday party of her best friend, Olivia Bevelstoke, and Olivia’s twin brother, Winston. Secret Diaries is the first in what is known as the “Bevelstoke” series. The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever is a separate series from Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series – soon to be a Netflix series, produced in part by Shonda Rhimes, and, spoiler alert, I read The Duke and I recently and maaaan do I have opinions on that one. And let me tell ya – I went through security like a dream. So I borrowed The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever as an e-book through my library, and brought the next book in the series (which I owned) as the sole paperback book on my trip. But since I was looking at two six-hour-plus flights (plus tube rides, plus bus rides to and from Logan), I didn’t want to carry three paperbacks with me, either. I slept in the leggings and nightshirt (although I was super cold, and couldn’t figure out the hotel thermostat so I’m pretty sure I slept in my plane shirt too). I wore the same outfit flying out of Boston and flying back into Boston, and switched into the dress (wrinkle-resistant!) and leggings to go to the theatre. I brought my purse, which is big enough to hold a nightshirt, a set of leggings and a dress, and an extra pair of socks and underwear.

Going to a foreign country for only 30 hours, I wanted to pack light. This blog post is about the romance novel I read on the plane and in Heathrow waiting for my other plane to depart. It was a crazy adventure – but this blog post is not about that. I went to see Gillian Anderson play Margo Channing in a stage production of All About Eve. While I was there, I also tried to sit on the same bench that Daniel Craig sat on in the National Gallery in Skyfall, while staring at “The Fighting Temeraire” and waiting for Q to show up.
