Welcome to Litsy!

Almost every time I read a new Heyer I decide it's up there as my favourite! This one isn't quite as funny as Sophy, but I think it shades it for romance - Sir Richard's declaration made me swoon.

The age difference between the protagonists is disturbing by today's standards but otherwise, this novel is a fun romantic adventure with several intertwined subplots.

The cover is perplexing to me, as the heroine spends almost the entire novel in boys' clothing. 😅

First book finished for the #FabulousFebruary readathon! @Andrew65
This was also my #DoubleSpin choice for the month. #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I didn't love this one as much as The Grand Sophy, but it‘s still good. Richard's family has decided it's time for him to get married. They've chosen a logical, but cold woman, but before the marriage can happen he escapes to the country. A young woman, Pen, escapes through her window to avoid her own arranged marriage. She pretends to be Richard‘s nephew, which is very Twelfth Night. The romance isn't very believable, but the plot is fun.

This audiobook was a guilty pleasure. There‘s a lot wrong with the romance: age difference he‘s 29 she‘s 17 , he‘s the boss , instant romance etc... but I loved it anyway ❤️#romantsy

Another Hoopla audiobook- another historical #romantsy. Funny, cute and so lovely. Richard is so well dressed, so rich , so dreamy. Lucky Penelope!

I‘ve already read 3 books this week! I hadn‘t read this one in 8-9 years, and it was even funnier than I remembered! I really enjoyed the audio production except for the narrator‘s voice for the Honourable Cedric Brandon. Luckily he‘s just a hilarious minor character - so he didn‘t crop up too much. #jesshowreads2018

1. I don't really believe in guilty pleasures, at least not with books, but I've often seen Georgette Heyer referred to like this. I love her fun stories!
2. Serendipity, Ramen Girl, The Scarlet Pimpernel ??
3. I'm a terrible snacker so basically everything bad that I can't resist between meals ??

@JenlovesJT47 did you know its titbit in the UK? I wonder if pronunciation changed it or the "rudeness" of the original ?

Intrigues! Romance! Escapes! Disguises! Cross-dressing! Jewel-theft! Murder! Chases! Elopements! Mistaken identity! Cravats and quizzing glasses! As light and fluffy and insubstantial as a dandelion clock and utterly ridiculous. But much, much fun.

This was not the strongest Heyer I've ever read, but it did make me smile. The heroine is an independent scamp looking for an adventure to save her from her family's marriage plans. She charms even the most hardened of bachelors, the hero, into falling in love while chasing a jewel thief and restoring the honor of a well-to-do family. Romantic misunderstandings ensue!

Finnegan was not about working today. Only cuddling! But someone has pay for his food, so here we are ☺️

Took a break from coding homework to read the most Georgette Heyer of Georgette Heyer books. This Regency comedy-of-manners has everything you could possibly want from a study break-- runaway heroines, murder, romance, dandies, thieves, and the most 1970s cover of them all. Hope you're all having fun with the #readathon!

Opening line:
"The company, ushered by a disapproving butler into the yellow saloon of Sir Richard Wyndham's house in St James's Square, comprised two ladies and one reluctant gentleman."
