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 🥴 3w

CarolynM @rubyslippersreads I don‘t think he did approve, he kept trying to bite me while I took the photo😆 3w

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. 3w

Frederica: A funny and brilliant clean Regency romance | Georgette Heyer

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-... 2mo

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) 2mo

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...

The Grand Sophy: A hysterical and charming clean Regency romance | Georgette Heyer

pick

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!

Librarybelle, TheAromaofBooks

BarbaraJean Of the books pictured above, I've only read Sophy, The Unfinished Clue, and Behold, Here's Poison. Looking forward to the rest! 5mo

Librarybelle I need to read more Heyer! 5mo

BarbaraJean @Librarybelle I need to check the publishing dates of these against my #192025 list! 😁 5mo

Librarybelle Yes! 5mo

BarbaraJean @Librarybelle I have two winners! The Nonesuch (1962) and Black Sheep (1966) both fill years I have yet to complete. 5mo

Librarybelle Hooray!! 5mo

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 5mo

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… 😁 5mo

Leftcoastzen I‘ve always heard this is a good one ! 5mo

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

The Masqueraders

5mo

BarbaraJean @CarolynM I will add that one to my list! 5mo

Arabella | Georgette Heyer

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! 😁

Cousin Kate | Georgette Heyer

pick

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.
