It‘s a three day weekend, & I‘m looking forward to a little R&R & LOTS of reading time! Memorial Day weekend is the kick off to summer for me. The local outdoor swimming pool re-opens, BBQ‘s & summer parties commence & the temp. starts to soar. I recently finished a Georgette Heyer (Frederica) that left me with a twinkle in my eye & a smile on my face, so I‘ve been enjoying this in-depth guide to the world of Heyer & the Regency era.

TheAromaofBooks I'm reading a Heyer book right now!! This looks like a fun companion. Is it more about Heyer, or more about the Regency era? 5y
catebutler @TheAromaofBooks How fun! I can‘t wait to see what you think of it, it‘s one I haven‘t read yet, so I‘m very intrigued. And the companion is more about the Regency era, clothing, style, manners, etc., but Kloester does draw from the history in Heyer‘s novels and expounds on it. It‘s been fun to learn more about the Regency period. Kloester is also Heyer‘s official biographer. I‘ve heard it‘s excellent! 5y
TheAromaofBooks Oooo an official biography, too! I always think I should read more biographies, and then just end up reading more fiction instead haha I have very minimal reading discipline, I fear. Frederica is one of my favorite Heyer books, by the way. I'll definitely check this one out!! 5y
catebutler @TheAromaofBooks I definitely love biographies, probably one of my favorite forms of non-fiction. But, I hear you about discipline! I usually try to do at least one non-fiction each month, sometimes they roll over to the next month though! 🤣 5y

#riotgrams Day 13: pink, red, & white

Finding a pink was such a struggle! I only have a handful, & some are hot pink (which I think looks blech with red & white). True red was only a little easier—so many of my reds are orange-ish!
