Masqueraders | 
pickWell, I adored this! So much fun. My favourite Heyer so far. Thank you again @LeahBergen for the gift of this book.
Thank you so much, Leah 😘 I definitely need more Georgette Heyer in my life right now. And I love the card and bookmarks, especially the Frank Lloyd Wright ones. Thanks for being such a thoughtful friend🙏💕
PS I don‘t mind the cover at all. I have a 1960s edition of False Colours that has a truly horrific cover. I will have to post a picture of it sometime😆
I am posting one book per day from my extensive collection. No description. No explanation. Some will be old. Some will be new. Don't judge me. I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

I had several hours in the car yesterday and listened to quite a chunk of THE MASQUERADERS. But my old pulpy paperback, which I bought for Qa in Hay-on-Wye 15 years ago, is more photogenic than a screenshot of my audiobook, forsooth! (This one, unlike most Heyers, is set during the Jacobite rebellion, and I love the language.) #georgetteheyer
pickAn unexpected twist on the usual Heyer regency romance - a brother and sister are traveling undercover by masquerading as members of the opposite sex. It is so refreshing to find a heroine who rides, drinks, gambles, and doesn‘t back down from fighting duels, and a hero doesn‘t mind that circumstances have forced him to wear petticoats and flirt with other men at balls. Such a fun read!
Read Georgette Heyer a decade ago (Arabella) and found the costume drama wasn't for me. This time I'm here for the gender bending and swordplay!!! #audio #hoopla #georgian #swashbuckler
pickGirls dressed as boys! Scoundrels dressed as viscounts! Boys dressed as girls dressed as highwaymen! This Georgian romance plot is completely bananapants in the best way. However I struggled at first with the over-the-top writing and confusion - but if you push through and accept that some things are just gonna be confusing, it all comes together and is pretty delightful.
My October completions. Don't think there was a dud in the bunch, although The Masqueraders was my least favorite Heyer to date. It ended well but the first half almost made me abandon it...not her best work. The photo actually cut out a few, but I don't know how to edit it to fit. 🤔Oh well, here's most of them. 😁
