Welcome to Litsy!

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...

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

My August #BookSpin is The Smile of the Stranger for #HappyFiction and my #DoubleSpin is The Other‘s Gold for #ReadOrDonate .

@TheAromaofBooks @mabell @Chrissyreadit Looks like this will be the month when I FINALLY read our book! I think the Spin Gods have sent me a message. 😂

I enjoyed reading this book a lot. I loved the characters, the plot of the book, and the time period it was set in. I hope to see the characters again in the other books by this author. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Overall, I enjoyed this. There was one description of a woman near the beginning that I didn't like. I felt it was completely unnecessary. It also had a mystery surrounding smuggling that I wasn't a huge fan of. I was lost in some places. However, I should be clear that mystery, in general, isn't something I gravitate to. It definitely has angst, and an HEA. No cliffhanger and it is the 1st of a series. I won't be reading any of the others.

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!

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.

Well, I adored this! So much fun. My favourite Heyer so far. Thank you again @LeahBergen for the gift of this book.
