Everything I read in September minus Hi Honey, I‘m Homo by Matt Baume (cover not findable by the app and where would I have placed it?!) 17 books YOWZA

Frederica is my favorite with The Husbands a close second. I gave Tiger Eyes lots of stars, too but just couldn‘t get into the movie 🎥 😢

October is going a tad slower. #Sep2024 Litflu 43k

Strong pick! Love Heyer‘s characters, always fun. Tho, the endings always feel abrupt and of course, a foregone conclusion, but she has to end it sometime. So many words to look up, too. Fun, fun, fun 🤩

“Fudge!”

🤨🤣

Bookwomble I often say "fudge" as a euphemised expletive (though I'm not shy of the f-bomb, either!). According to this article, perhaps it would be more healthy to entirely disregard etiquette: https://theworld.org/stories/2020/06/15/when-oh-fudge-won-t-do-researchers-find-... 1mo
BkClubCare @Bookwomble - I was mostly amused that this is set in Regency England; author wrote this in 1965. I prefer to say “fudgecicle” 😊 TY for your comment 🥰 (edited) 1mo

Faro's Daughter | Georgette Heyer

One of my favorite Heyers! It's of course a private gambling club, not an actual casino, except they're thinking of putting a roulette wheel in, so...

BookmarkTavern Totally counts! Thanks for sharing! 2mo

Another belated review! This was my #BookSpin for June & my 1950 pick for #192025.

This was my first Heyer outside of a couple of her mystery novels, and it was so much fun to read! Sophy swoops into her cousins‘ home, takes stock of everyone‘s lives, and happily meddles in everything to hilarious effect. The witty dialogue and Sophy‘s deft machinations were a delight. And then the ending went a bit off the rails, but I loved it anyway!

BarbaraJean Of the books pictured above, I've only read Sophy, The Unfinished Clue, and Behold, Here's Poison. Looking forward to the rest! 4mo
Librarybelle I need to read more Heyer! 4mo
BarbaraJean @Librarybelle I need to check the publishing dates of these against my #192025 list! 😁 4mo

BarbaraJean @Librarybelle I have two winners! The Nonesuch (1962) and Black Sheep (1966) both fill years I have yet to complete. 4mo
Librarybelle Hooray!! 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I quite love this one. Black Sheep is another favorite. I enjoyed The Nonesuch but not quite as much, although it's been a long while since I read it. I absolutely love Fredrica - it's one of my favorites of hers. She has a whole passel of siblings under her care and I just love the way the hero ends up falling in love with the whole family haha 4mo
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks I was going to read Frederica for #192025, but then The Velvet Room snuck in there for the same year! 😆 But that doesn‘t mean I won‘t read Frederica… 😁 4mo
Leftcoastzen I‘ve always heard this is a good one ! 4mo
CarolynM I‘ve read most of the mysteries (loved them) but I‘m only just getting started on the romances. I read The Nonesuch recently and enjoyed it but my favourite so far is 4mo
BarbaraJean @CarolynM I will add that one to my list! 4mo

1. My parents named me Cindy with the reasoning that it‘s what everyone would call me if I was named Cynthia, but I much prefer Cynthia (SO many people call me that!). I love long, traditional names like Arabella, Letitia, Catherine, Sabrina, etc. We named our daughter Victoria Elizabeth! 😁

Not what I was expecting. Much darker than previous books I've read by Georgette Heyer, but very engaging. I guessed some of the twists, but not all of them. I generally prefer the more light-hearted books by Heyer, but I am not disappointed to have read this. Recommend.

“I shall be much obliged to you, Cousin, if you will refrain from telling my sisters that she has a face like a horse!”
“But, Charles, no blame attaches to Miss Wraxton! She cannot help it, and that, I *assure* you, I have always pointed out to your sisters!”
“I consider Miss Wraxton‘s countenance particularly well bred!”
“Yes, indeed, but you have quite misunderstood the matter! I *meant* a particularly well-bred horse!”
