Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoy Lady Julia and her eccentric family. I liked this mystery more than the first installment. And Deanna Raybourn really knows how to write that unresolved sexual tension! 😏

Like the first book in the series, it starts out really slow. It seems like it takes half the book for someone to actually die. But I am hooked on Deanna Raybourn's style of writing, her character development, and the multiple crazy endings that I couldn't guess, but somehow feel like I should have.

So I definitely liked this one more than book 1 but I am really noticing that this is like a Veronica Speedwell beta or light which gives me a "I think I've read this before" feeling. I like how the romance is developing and the mystery was far more complex and less obvious than book one.

Time to enjoy book 2 of the Lady Julia series. Hoping my girl...finds a man who won't give her an STI? (A high bar was set in book 1 lol)

+ Silent in the Moors (3rd Lady Julia Grey novel) I ended up reading these one after the other ?? I probably liked "In the Sanctuary" a little more because of the cast of characters but I liked the ending of "on the Moors for reasons ❤️ #MayBooks #JuneBooks ?

Doing some Sunday reading on my Kindle app lol 👍 😊 #MayBooks #Mysteries #SlowBurn #Romance

Like the first one so much, I seem to have finished the second. Thank goodness it‘s Saturday cause I just started the third... ♥️

Spent a lot of last night going “but no one‘s dead yet” and then really questioning myself. But just shy of halfway through and we‘ve got ourselves a murder. (I say this like I wasn‘t living for the awkward sexual tension in the first half)

Might as well keep going.

Second in the Lady Julia Grey series. A couple of mysteries and the introduction of Julia‘s family. A fun cast of characters, however I‘m not sure I care much for Julia. Will read the next one and decide if I will recommend the series to my Mom. Always trying to find new ones for her to read.

Finished the second Lady Julia! A delightful romp and good continuation of the series #24in48

Brand new shelfs and already full. Uh-oh guess I need more.

My TBR stack for my first 24in48 readathon! Very excited. It is also helped to find Litsy.

So this popped up on my facebook memories today. This was from a year ago and it made me respect her that much more.

#aprilbookshowers I chose Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia series because I love the interplay among the March #siblings. Particularly as the series went on, she included more and more about this eccentric family. The witty dialogue between the brothers and sisters is masterfully done.

Finished my last book of 2016 🎉🎉🎉

Glad I stuck with this series even after the first book didn't wow me. This one was much better in my opinion (I'd give it a 4/5), and I plan to continue on to the third one soon! #romantsy

Currently reading this one. So far it's starting off better than the first in the series....yay! Glad I gave it a shot! #romantsy

Lady Julia Grey qualifies for #unforgettablewomen. She is one of my favorite characters, and I actually got angry when the author decided to end the series #booktober

"She was a Fragonard milkmaid, a Botticelli nymph. I hated her instantly."

President Obama, I love you so. I keep thinking of this quote while reading (and loving) the second Julia Grey book because Julia's eccentric and progressive-for-his-Regency-England-time father is another example of this. He nurtures her mind and raises her expectations -- for herself and others. So glad I finally started this series. Thanks for the rec, @nessochist!
