It's been a whirlwind few weeks for Julia Quinn, whose books inspired the Shonda Rhimes Netflix series that has inspires people to create TikTok musicals based on the show. The first Bridgerton book is No. 1 on The New York Times' e-book fiction bestseller list. “The New York Times list, at least, I’ve never had more than one book at a time on and right now there are three. Two of those books came out 21 years ago. And ‘The Duke and I’ actually is now two weeks at No. 1 — which is also new for me. I’ve hit No. 1 before once, but with romance, usually you you hit high and then you fade fast. So that’s also new,” Quinn tells IndieWire. “The USA Today list — right now I have 10 books on it, which is nuts. You know, I’m not a fast writer, so maybe some people who write really quickly can do that, but I sure can’t.”
