@Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks @mabell I‘m not very far into this month‘s #HappyFiction book yet, but I‘ve lost track of our discussion. Are we doing it on StoryGraph, or did we decide to do something else? 🤪

mabell So relatable 🤣 🙋‍♀️ It‘s on Storygraph this time https://app.thestorygraph.com/readalongs/a8095fe9-5674-45f7-9ab6-b5a10cd41f2f 3d
julieclair @mabell Thank you! Glad you can relate! 🤪 3d
TheAromaofBooks In the final section of Powder & Patch I did post the link to the April SG discussion for Wind in the Willows, too!! @mabell @Chrissyreadit (edited) 3d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks 👍👍 So excited for Wind in the Willows! Would you believe I‘ve never read it? 2d
TheAromaofBooks It's been years since I have read it, but I remember thinking it was super sweet and adorable. I'm really excited about rereading it, and since it starts with Mole abandoning his spring cleaning because the weather is so nice, it seems like a good read for this time of year 😂 2d
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Abandoning Spring cleaning? I‘m a Mole fan already! 🤩 2d

Just look what my lovely colleague, who first alerted me to Georgette Heyer, gifted me today. She bought this 1965 edition online. It had no dust cover and has some slight damage (a name cut out of the title page). She photocopied the dust cover from her own rare edition and put it on this one! So thoughtful 🥰. Book people are the best. 📚🙏❤️

Balibee146 That's so cool 1w
LeahBergen Lovely! 🥰 1w
CarolynM How lovely! This is one of the Heyer‘s my friend leant to me. I WILL get around to it one day…😆 7d

Ok, stop the press everyone! I got my hands on my first Georgette Heyer. A little after dinner wander lead me into an Elizabeth‘s 2nd hand bookshop, and here she is. Let‘s see how I go. #newtomeauthor #currentlyreading

CarolynM Looking forward to your reaction. I wonder whether the Heyer aficionados think this is a good one? @LeahBergen @mabell 2w
mabell @CarolynM Grand Sophy is still waiting for me on my shelf, but I‘ve heard it‘s a fun one! (Unsurprisingly!) Enjoy @MrsMalaprop ! 2w
LeahBergen Yay!! This is the first Heyer that I read, too. I hope you like it! 🤞 1w

MrsMalaprop @CarolynM @LeahBergen @mabell Thank you. I am meeting tomorrow with the colleague who initially piqued my interest to see what she thinks of this one as a starting point. She kind of said I could start with any. Although I think she specifically mentioned (edited) 1w
Rissreads I‘m intrigued to see if it‘s to your liking! If you like it chances are I will! 1w
Jeg I‘ll be very very interested to hear what you think. Those sort of books have never appealed to me. Mind you I have never tried one of hers. 1w

Thank you so much, Leah 😘 I definitely need more Georgette Heyer in my life right now. And I love the card and bookmarks, especially the Frank Lloyd Wright ones. Thanks for being such a thoughtful friend🙏💕

PS I don‘t mind the cover at all. I have a 1960s edition of False Colours that has a truly horrific cover. I will have to post a picture of it sometime😆

Rissreads Awwwwww 💛 1mo
LeahBergen You‘re so welcome! 😘 And you KNOW I‘m going to have to see that other cover now. 😆😆 1mo
squirrelbrain Lovely! That card is fab! 1mo

It had been several years since I read this one, and I had forgotten how 100% perfect it is. This may be my favorite Heyer. As usual, the cover picture has nothing to do with the actual story, though.

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks @mabell @Chrissyreadit I have set up the StoryGraph Readalong for our next book. The link is in the “Other/Final Thoughts” section of our Cotillion Readalong. Or you can search for the book‘s title and then click those 3 dots just like you would to add the book to a challenge. 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @julieclair - Oooooo nice!!! I just got my copy from the library!! 2mo
mabell Thanks Julie! @julieclair 2mo

January #BookspinBingo is a LOT of me just trying to catch up on my #192025 challenge. I‘m still in the twenties. The NINETEEN-twenties! I‘m literally 100 years behind. 🤦🏻‍♀️

TheAromaofBooks Well, your bingo card looks fantastic anyway 😂 3mo

This was a unique one! A determined young lady sets off on her own plan of campaign, but inexorably draws others into her whirlwind along the way. Midway through, I felt “Oh no - there is no way this can end well.” But of course Heyer brings it all to a satisfying end. Lady Hester was a surprise favorite, and Amanda was a trip 😆

#1956 for #192025

Librarybelle Great choice! I have a number of Heyer‘s books that I need to read! 3mo
mabell @Librarybelle @rubyslippersreads I‘m glad she was so prolific! I have lots more to look forward to 😊 I keep coming across titles that I‘d never even heard of! Last week I picked up 3mo

20% of the way into my 1921 pick for #192025, I discovered that it was *actually* published in 1920 🤦🏻‍♀️. I‘ll go ahead and finish it since it was also one of my #bookspin picks, and then pivot to the tagged book (which, quite frankly, sounds more appealing anyway). #ImADummy
