@Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks @mabell I‘m not very far into this month‘s #HappyFiction book yet, but I‘ve lost track of our discussion. Are we doing it on StoryGraph, or did we decide to do something else? 🤪

mabell So relatable 🤣 🙋‍♀️ It‘s on Storygraph this time https://app.thestorygraph.com/readalongs/a8095fe9-5674-45f7-9ab6-b5a10cd41f2f 4d
julieclair @mabell Thank you! Glad you can relate! 🤪 3d
TheAromaofBooks In the final section of Powder & Patch I did post the link to the April SG discussion for Wind in the Willows, too!! @mabell @Chrissyreadit (edited) 3d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks 👍👍 So excited for Wind in the Willows! Would you believe I‘ve never read it? 3d
TheAromaofBooks It's been years since I have read it, but I remember thinking it was super sweet and adorable. I'm really excited about rereading it, and since it starts with Mole abandoning his spring cleaning because the weather is so nice, it seems like a good read for this time of year 😂 3d
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Abandoning Spring cleaning? I‘m a Mole fan already! 🤩 3d

Just look what my lovely colleague, who first alerted me to Georgette Heyer, gifted me today. She bought this 1965 edition online. It had no dust cover and has some slight damage (a name cut out of the title page). She photocopied the dust cover from her own rare edition and put it on this one! So thoughtful 🥰. Book people are the best. 📚🙏❤️

Balibee146 That's so cool 1w

CarolynM How lovely! This is one of the Heyer‘s my friend leant to me. I WILL get around to it one day…😆 1w

Ok, stop the press everyone! I got my hands on my first Georgette Heyer. A little after dinner wander lead me into an Elizabeth‘s 2nd hand bookshop, and here she is. Let‘s see how I go. #newtomeauthor #currentlyreading

CarolynM Looking forward to your reaction. I wonder whether the Heyer aficionados think this is a good one? @LeahBergen @mabell 2w
mabell @CarolynM Grand Sophy is still waiting for me on my shelf, but I‘ve heard it‘s a fun one! (Unsurprisingly!) Enjoy @MrsMalaprop ! 2w
LeahBergen Yay!! This is the first Heyer that I read, too. I hope you like it! 🤞 2w

MrsMalaprop @CarolynM @LeahBergen @mabell Thank you. I am meeting tomorrow with the colleague who initially piqued my interest to see what she thinks of this one as a starting point. She kind of said I could start with any. Although I think she specifically mentioned (edited) 1w
Rissreads I‘m intrigued to see if it‘s to your liking! If you like it chances are I will! 1w
Jeg I‘ll be very very interested to hear what you think. Those sort of books have never appealed to me. Mind you I have never tried one of hers. 1w

I can‘t believe this is the last installment in #TheRegencyVowsSeries! At long last, the focus turns to Sophie and West. Though seven years earlier, they nearly wed, lately they‘ve been circling one another uncertainty. But when Sophie learns that her sister is hesitant to remarry, leaving Sophie single, she decides the best thing to do is fake an engagement! The truth of the past comes out & an epilogue leaves the series feeling neatly concluded!

Libby is great for audiobooks- my hold came in and I was so happy to listen to this sweet historical romance. A gentle love story between two “outsiders” -an aristocratic Lady who can not walk and a son of aristocracy who is illegitimate. A tender book - not a lot of action etc … but a good escape from a stressful week ❤️ 🐉

While this fourth installment of #TheRegencyVowsSeries may have the slowest start to date, by the end, I really enjoyed it! The J-name heroes have been traded in for a Jane heroine here as Diana‘s brother finds himself in a marriage of convenience to his uncle‘s ward in exchange for the family estate he has been obsessed with acquiring! Though the Cornwall estate may be haunted, there‘s also camaraderie built on fear… This is a fun & sweet series!

I suggested this book on Book Interrupted‘s Manuscript Monday. It goes with this year‘s theme of Books with Movie‘s. I still haven‘t watched the movie, but book didn‘t disappoint. https://www.bookinterrupted.com/post/manuscript-monday-mr-malcolm-s-list

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😆

Rissreads Awwwwww 💛 1mo
LeahBergen You‘re so welcome! 😘 And you KNOW I‘m going to have to see that other cover now. 😆😆 1mo
squirrelbrain Lovely! That card is fab! 1mo
