Rissreadswithcats It was meeeeeeeeeeeeee! You raved about the book so I thought it would be nice for you to have a copy and I came across this one and couldn‘t resist! Yay! It finally arrived! It was lost for almost 2 weeks! 🩷 (edited) 3w
CarolynM @Rissreadswithcats Thank you!!! That is so generous of you. It is a gorgeous little book, I am thrilled with it 🥰 3w

I‘ve enjoyed all the Heyer books I‘ve read, but this one takes the cake! Not so much a romance as a straight out comedy - it is hilarious! Sophy is an unforgettable character. This is another book borrowed from my Heyer loving friend. I am going to have to buy myself a copy for when (not if) read it again.

mabell Oh I‘m so looking forward to this one! I have it on my shelf, and it may have to be next! It‘s been a long time since I have read a Heyer romance. I tend to save them as a special travel book, but then I don‘t get to them very often 😆 1mo
LeahBergen @mabell @CarolynM This is the first Heyer I read (and what started my obsession 😆😆)! 1mo
CarolynM @mabell Read it soon, you‘ll love it! 1mo

CarolynM @LeahBergen I‘m a bit worried I‘ll be disappointed in the next one I read😬 1mo
Daisey I‘ve been meaning to read a Heyer novel, maybe this is the one I should try. 1mo
Rissreadswithcats Not so romance, more comedy- SOLD! I‘ve stacked this. I have wanted to read a Heyer but romance isn‘t really my thing. I‘m excited! 1mo
mabell @LeahBergen Oh that‘s high praise! I really need to get to this one! @CarolynM I don‘t think I‘ve ever been disappointed 😆 Oh, except for Penhallow. Man I hated that book 😂 1mo
CarolynM @Daisey I‘d definitely recommend this one 🙂 1mo
CarolynM @Rissreads There‘s always the mysteries if you don‘t want to do romance. This one is my favourite of those so far 1mo
Rissreadswithcats Thanks @CarolynM I will stack that one too. If only I didn‘t need a job so I could have more time to read!!!!!! 🤣 1mo

mabell Oh I‘ll have to move this one up the list too! 3mo
CarolynM @Amiable @RaeLovesToRead He‘s very old (20 years) and arthritic which means he‘s pretty scruffy these days, so I don‘t think I will kiss him 🥴 3mo
CarolynM @rubyslippersreads I don‘t think he did approve, he kept trying to bite me while I took the photo😆 3mo
CarolynM @Freespirit 👋 Hi Sally. One of my book group friends is a big fan and is drip feeding me her copies from her teenage years🥰 Heyer‘s mysteries are also fun if you‘re not fond of romance. 3mo
CarolynM @mabell I think you‘ll like it🙂 3mo

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 🎥 😢

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-... 4mo
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) 4mo

A re-re-reread (with a few more re‘s) of this Heyer mystery set in a small British village. I love the small cast of unique characters. Mrs. M with her “U” named pekes, the rascally, aged ex-poacher, the whole enthusiastic Ditchling brood, so many that make this a humorous read - and the mystery is good too! Who shot Sampson Warrenby in his garden? No one has an alibi…

CarolynM This is one I haven‘t read yet. Looking forward to it even more now😀 4mo
mabell @CarolynM I think you‘ll like it! It is a fun change to have the story take place in a village where you meet more of the inhabitants. 4mo
