May be of interest to the #pemberlittens @BarkingMadRead as it refers to both her characters and brothers!

"The sounds and smells of rural life were seldom far away, and the parish clerk would sometimes have to shepherd the gaggle of ducks that lived in the churchyard away from the door when the service was about to begin."

Regency Buck | Georgette Heyer

I took this Georgette Heyer off the shelf today (but then had to check Goodreads to see if I‘d already read it 😆).

AvidReader25 Do you have a favorite Heyer? I‘ve only read two and would love to read more! 1mo

LeahBergen @AvidReader25 I don‘t really have a favourite as I‘ve enjoyed all the ones I‘ve read. 😆 Hmm… maybe The Grand Sophy, Sylvester, Cotillion, Friday‘s Child? I‘m really enjoying this one so far! It was her first novel set in the Regency era (the previous ones were set in the Georgian era) and I guess it kickstarted the Regency novel as a genre. 1mo

Cathythoughts I‘m loving the cover on the book 😍 1mo

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts It‘s pretty! 1mo

Reggie Lolol‘ed on the checking of Goodreads to see if you‘ve read it. There‘s a couple of books lately from back in the day that have left me thinking-have I? 1mo

CarolynM Sylvester is my current handbag book. I‘m not loving it as much as Sophy yet😆 1mo

AvidReader25 @LeahBergen Thank you!!! I loved The Grand Sophy so much. It was my first. I‘ll try the others! 1mo

LeahBergen @Reggie 😆😆 And I expect it will only get worse! 1mo

LeahBergen @CarolynM Sylvester grew on me. Maybe it will for you, too! 1mo

LeahBergen @AvidReader25 The Grand Sophy was my first, too. 😀 1mo

AvidReader25 @LeahBergen I love that! It was so good. 💙 1mo

Bookwomble See now, you've been very tantalising with your bookmarks In your last few posts! Clear views would be appreciated by certain interested parties!🔖🧐😄 1mo

😂😂 I must go in quest of people named Wickham. In the meantime, who‘d like to take a turn about the room?

Martyn_J_Pass It‘s even funnier in the Colin Firth version - a turn about the room 😂😂 (edited) 2mo

Black Sheep | Georgette Heyer

pick

This was SO MUCH FUN. I loved Miles & Abigail—their banter, humor, and romance, as well as the contrast & balance that becomes apparent between these two such well-matched characters. Heyer just gets everything right: Abigail‘s pitch-perfect near-caricature relatives—lovable and infuriating by turns—a surprising but thoroughly appealing male love interest, and comeuppance where it is due. ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) The ending is WAY too abrupt, but also adorable. All the praise for my May #DoubleSpin + 1966 pick for #192025. @TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle 3mo

Ruthiella Love your paperback collection! 3mo

LeahBergen I liked this one, too! 3mo

TheAromaofBooks This is a favorite of mine. One thing I love is how often Heyer writes about slightly older heroines - instead of her being 16 or 17 and yearning for love, she's in her late 20s and happily single. And the way these two hit it off as friends at first just delights me! 3mo

Librarybelle Lovely paperback edition! 3mo

BarbaraJean @Ruthiella @Librarybelle Thank you! Library book sales have provided so many treasures! 3mo

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Yes, I loved that, too! This one could so easily have been about the niece, but Heyer chooses the less-conventional (and far more interesting) heroine instead. And the friends first vibe is my favorite (forever influenced by Anne and Gilbert!) 3mo

CarolynM There are so many Heyer‘s I fear I‘ll never read them all, but I will look out for this one😊 3mo
