Welcome to Litsy!

One of the main characters in a book that I recently read kept mentioning that Georgette Heyer was one of her favourite authors. Not having read any books by this author I have decided to reserve a copy at the Library. From her comments I have a feeling that my partner may read it before I do.

Almost every time I read a new Heyer I decide it's up there as my favourite! This one isn't quite as funny as Sophy, but I think it shades it for romance - Sir Richard's declaration made me swoon.

Knowing I love all things maple, a co-worker gifted me a maple donut. That‘s love. 🍩☕️🩵

A cosy 1930s murder mystery written with a sense of fun. I loved Randall and his witty one-liners and the diabolical aunts. The plot was less of a feature than all of the family intrigue (possibly too many characters?) but came together with a nice solution at the end. A good escapist read.

I took this Georgette Heyer off the shelf today (but then had to check Goodreads to see if I‘d already read it 😆).

It‘s hard to pick a favorite Heyer, especially between the mysteries, but this one may be it!

This was SO MUCH FUN. I loved Miles & Abigail—their banter, humor, and romance, as well as the contrast & balance that becomes apparent between these two such well-matched characters. Heyer just gets everything right: Abigail‘s pitch-perfect near-caricature relatives—lovable and infuriating by turns—a surprising but thoroughly appealing male love interest, and comeuppance where it is due. ⤵️

I think this is a lesser known Heyer, but for me it is up there with the best of them. Romance, comedy and great characters. Totally delightful, but have you ever seen a less appropriate cover for a Heyer @LeahBergen ?
