Obi modeling books for me today. I loved this book- and hope to read more by this author. It reminded me of a little P&P and S&S and also a sort of kind of Charles Dickens vibe but a much longer happy part of the story- hence Jane Austen‘s…. A poor but sweet girl trying to make her way in the world before and after being reunited with family. Also, romance. @julieclair this and next book will be in the mail to you tomorrow morning.

Librarybelle Cats are great book models! 😻 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I really love this one. 4mo
mabell This one was really good! 4mo

As always, I am thoroughly enjoying your selection @TheAromaofBooks ! So much humor! I love the witty exchanges, and like Heyer, Morgan makes rudeness fun 😂

TheAromaofBooks There are so many lines in that book that made me snort-laugh 😂 I sent off the next book to you earlier this week!!! 6mo
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Snort laughing is always a good sign! 😂 6mo
mabell @TheAromaofBooks Seriously! All the funnier because they are unexpected 😂 Thanks! I‘ll keep an eye out! 6mo

mabell @julieclair Haha, it is! I have to rein myself in from overmarking lines I find hilarious 🤣 6mo
TheAromaofBooks @mabell @Julieclair - Another book by this author, the main character is frustrated by someone and talking about how she wants to say something to him and can't etc and describes the feeling as “a sneeze that won't come“ and I still laugh about it haha 6mo
mabell @TheAromaofBooks What a great description! 😂 6mo
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Perfect! I think I may start using that line! 🤣 6mo
rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks @mabell @julieclair This author sounds right up my alley. 6mo
TheAromaofBooks @rubbyslippersreads @mabell @julieclair - I LOVED Indiscretion, and enjoyed An Accomplished Woman and A Little Folly, although not quite as much. I haven't read any of his others because they don't sound as funny haha 6mo
mabell @rubyslippersreads @julieclair I loved it too! Caroline is such a great heroine! I trust your judgment on the others @TheAromaofBooks ! 😄 It will be on its way to you soon @Chrissyreadit ! 6mo

It had been several years since I read this one, but it 100% held up to the reread. Caroline is such a fantastic MC, taking what life hands her with optimism and determination to make it work. The banter in this book is fabulous, and the side characters manage to be quirky without being obnoxious.

Sorry I'm late finishing this one @mabell - I'm putting it in the mail today!! Hope you all enjoy it, too! @julieclair @Chrissyreadit

mabell I‘m really looking forward to it!! I‘m sorry I‘m very behind. I‘ll have my Wodehouse book on its way to you soon @Chrissyreadit ! 7mo
mabell Also, I have the box ready for your sister - I just have to get it to the PO. Easier said than done obviously 😆 Is the address to use still Stringtown Rd? 7mo
TheAromaofBooks @mabell - Yes, she is staying with my parents on Stringtown, or you can send it to my PO box, whichever address you have handy 😂 7mo

julieclair Ooohhh… this one sounds really fun! 7mo
TheAromaofBooks @julieclair - It's not quite up to Wodehouse-levels of perfect lines, but there are some absolutely fantastic one-liners in this one! 😂 7mo
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Well….. if it even approaches Wodehouse, I will love it! 6mo
TheAromaofBooks @mabell - Oh my gosh, I've had your copy of The Toll-Gate sitting here so that I could just mail it to you when I mailed Indiscretion, and you'll never believe this, but I totally spaced and forgot to put The Toll-Gate in the envelope! 😂 I'm SO sorry and promise I WILL return it... someday!! 😆 6mo
mabell @TheAromaofBooks Story of my life right now!!! There‘s always next month! 😂 6mo
TheAromaofBooks @mabell - SURELY I won't forget two months in a row!! 😂 6mo

August has been my worst reading month that I've had in years. A lot of things happening at once, just weird vibes all around. Anyway, I am sincerely hoping for a quiet, no-drama weekend where the husband and I can just hide at home and not take any phone calls 😂 I want to finish three books this weekend - a short one I'm halfway through, the tagged book for my #HappyReads group, and one more. We'll see how far I can get!!

Okay, Group L, here are a few lighthearted reads from my shelves. Have any of you read any of these, or is there one that tickles your fancy??

Please excuse my poor photo editing haha Also I have loads of other Wodehouse and Heyer if you prefer another!!

TheAromaofBooks Note that this one was also published as Linnets and Valerians 13mo

inthegreensandblues They all sound good! ...I was thinking of proposing a Heyer book too as I have never read anything by her and want to! Wodehouse too 13mo
LeahBergen Jude Morgan does regency SO well. Sorry for chiming in here. 😆 13mo
Maggie4483 These all sound wonderful! The Runaways reminds me a bit of the Boxcar Children series I loved so much growing up, but the comparison to P&P really sold me on Sprig Muslin. 13mo
Deblovestoread I‘m happy with any of these! 13mo
TheAromaofBooks @inthegreensandblues @Maggie4483 @Deblovestoread - I think I'll go with The Runaways. I read it years ago and have been wanting to reread it for a while now since I can't remember much other than warm feelings 😂 13mo
TheAromaofBooks @LeahBergen - I love Indiscretion so much, although it's been a few years since I read it. But it had me snort-laughing the entire time. 13mo

I just loved this. It was so funny and I fell for the main characters completely. I‘m itching to watch something regency based now! Thank you for sending this in a swap, @Cupcake12 - perfect choice!

I‘ve had the morning at home and managed to finish my first #NewYearWhoDis challenge! 🌟 Thank you to @TheAromaofBooks for the recommendation- it isn‘t a book I would normally read but I pleasantly enjoyed it; with it‘s regency charm, likeable heroine and an abundance of secondary characters. Thank you for the pairing ❤️ @monalyisha

“We always think we know what we want: when in truth there is nothing we are less likely to know”

These words really resonate with me at the moment. Only the last 100 pages to go in this regal, decadent novel as part of my first #NewYearWhoDis

TheAromaofBooks I'm glad you're enjoying it. Hoping to read Cogheart this week!! 4y
Cupcake12 @TheAromaofBooks My daughter and I both loved Cogheart. Hope you like it! 4y

Started my Book.1 for #NewYearWhoDis book as recommended by @TheAromaofBooks I‘m already in love with the elegant writing style and feel the relationship between the two leading ladies will be quite entertaining
@monalyisha

Well..this is my first #NewYearNewYou post. These are my TBR pile although I‘m a quarter of a way into my tagged book as recommended by @TheAromaofBooks which I‘m getting into and really enjoying. My children are back at school Monday so hoping to make a start on reading a bit more and finally eating my Xmas treats all to myself!

Eggs How fun! 4y
TheAromaofBooks I hope you enjoy it!! Also, looking at your list of books you gave me made me wonder if you've read The Mysterious Benedict Society series? 4y
Cupcake12 I‘ve never heard of the Mysterious Benedict Society series? @TheAromaofBooks 4y
TheAromaofBooks Based on the list from you, I think you would really enjoy them!! They are middle grade reads, but such good stories that I can hardly put them down whenever I read them. In the first book, four children have to infiltrate a private school/orphanage. They are just fun books, just thoughtful enough to keep them interesting. Here's the first one - 4y

@TheAromaofBooks @monalyisha
Finally got my hands on my first #NewYearWhoDis book. So excited to take part ...it looks very grown up 😂 Do I just write a review when I‘ve finished? I‘m learning very quickly how to do things on Litsy xx

monalyisha Yes! Just write a review & tag your match (& me). You can also post quotes or thoughts (blurbs) from/about it as you go. There‘s the little spoiler button (skull & crossbones), which you can use if there are any top-secret plot points you want to conceal. 😉 4y
TheAromaofBooks Yay! I hope you enjoy it. This one is a pretty lighthearted read. 😊 I like happy books!! 4y

1. I'm a sucker for snarky dialogue and happy endings. (Tagged book is a solid example.)
2. If I don't need my eyes for the task at hand, I'm reading while I'm doing that task. Every second I can squeeze in!!

Ha ha ha!! I love a bad pun 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This episode was pretty good overall, but I don't care for efforts to try to make Gul Dukat a sympathetic character in any way. I prefer him cold and reptilian, a monster who will stab friend or foe to get what he wants.

If you love Austen and Heyer, you must add Jude Morgan to your shelves.
