Let‘s see if I can squeeze in another oldie (a Georgette Heyer 😊) before year end.

TrishB Yes, and what a beautiful version. 2y
LeahBergen @Ruthiella @Cathythoughts @TrishB Thank you, my cheer team! 😆😆 2y
LeahBergen @mabell 😆😆 And did you find it? 2y
mabell No! I also have fewer in my Heyer section than I was thinking I had, so I‘m wondering if my organization is failing me. 😅 This one is now stacked, it sounds fabulous! 2y
LeahBergen @mabell I just rechecked my Heyers (when I started this one) to see what I still need! 2y
mabell Are you missing many? 2y
LeahBergen @mabell I‘m actually only missing one of the Regency stories and a couple of the historical ones. I don‘t have all of her mysteries as I don‘t think they are quite as clever as her Regency stuff. Do you? I own probably half of her Regency stuff in vintage hardcover and replace the paperbacks with those when I find them! 2y
mabell Though I do agree about her regencies being more clever, I‘ve read her mysteries (with the exception of 2 that I don‘t like) dozens of times - they are my comfort reads! I‘m afraid I am not eager to read the historical books. I have Lord John and a lovely copy of the Conqueror on my shelf, but I will likely never get to them! As for the other Regencies that I don‘t have yet (or have only in paperback) - like you, I enjoy the thrill of the hunt! 2y
LeahBergen @mabell I guess I need to give her mysteries another chance! I‘ve only read two, I think? Which ones are your favourites? 2y
mabell That‘s a hard one! They‘re all very different, it just depends on which one I‘m in the mood for. 😊 Envious Casca is a Christmas setting, so I‘m in the middle of my annual reread now. They Found Him Dead is a fun one. 2y
mabell It‘s easier to say the ones I don‘t recommend- Penhallow (there aren‘t words strong enough to describe how much I despised it), Unfinished Clue (the characters and subject matter are more of a downer), The Blunt Instrument (is ok, but again kind of a downer and just odd). 2y
mabell I realized I am quite opinionated on this 🤣 2y
LeahBergen @mabell Thank you so much for the recommendations! I‘m definitely going to try some more and will have this post to look back on to choose from. And I‘m with you on the historical novels…I have a couple on my shelves but never feel the urge to reach for them. 🤷🏻♀️ 2y
