Inspired by the works of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, Garth Nix's Newt's Emerald is a Regency romance with a fantasy twist. New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger calls it "charming; quite, quite charming."After Lady Truthful's magical Newington Emerald is stolen from her she devises a simple plan: go to London to recover the missing jewel. She quickly learns, however, that a woman cannot wander the city streets alone without damaging her reputation, and she disguises herself as a mustache-wearing man. During Truthful's dangerous journey she discovers a crook, an unsuspecting ally, and an evil sorceressbut will she find the Emerald?

That was a fun little bit of fluff! A perfect little magical side journey through Georgian England wrapped in a romance.

#Emerald is my #birthstone, so here are some titles featuring this stone. #SpringIsHere @Maatje

As a #Slytherin, I am very happy with my birthstone lol! 😂

Wbabdullah It's mine, too! You must be a May baby @jenniferw88 ! 7y
jenniferw88 @Wbabdullah you are correct lol! 7y
Wbabdullah @jenniferw88 😊are any of these emerald beauties worthwhile? This Regency tale, Newt's Emerald, looks interesting...I have also learned the hard way to not walk alone as a woman after hours in some cultures 🙄. 7y

Wbabdullah @jenniferw88 a better question is...which one of these is literary fiction and will fit my ENFJ personality per the quiz you shared? 7y
jenniferw88 @Wbabdullah sorry, I have no idea - I just searched 'emerald' in title on Goodreads and screenshotted it! 7y
Wbabdullah @jenniferw88 Fair enough! 👌🏽 7y

I'm getting pretty close to a bingo, which is pretty exciting. This book however, was okay.. A girl dresses up as a boy to find her missing emerald and ends up falling in love. A pretty typical story with some magic thrown in.

This book was a little crazy. It had an interesting plot, but the ending and the love story came out of no where. Not a bad read, but given the size of most of your to read piles (I'm just guessing they are as large as mine), I wouldn't recommend it. #litsyAtoZ #letterN

This came across my desk at work and the description rang all my bells- regency era, magic, mystery, and a bit of romance. It made for an entertaining weekend read.

This Regency mystery/romance with MAGIC is the perfect thing for fans of Gail Carriger. I adored it.

Dear Garth Nix, Can your next book be about Parkins masquerading as a man to serve the Badgerys in the American Revolution? Because I would read the shut out of that.
