Black Sheep | Georgette Heyer

Pickpick

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. ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) The ending is WAY too abrupt, but also adorable. All the praise for my May #DoubleSpin + 1966 pick for #192025. @TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle 8h

It is a slow read, but I enjoy the quirks of Charlotte and her close friends. It is hard for her to be casual, and her friends still love and accept her. In this story, Lord Bancroft wants to marry her just so she can help with his detective work. He realizes that she is better suited to being single and helping him. I'm truly committed to this series.

dabbe @IMASLOWREADER I had tried reading it THREE TIMES before and never could get through it (my translations sucked). Then, @TheBookHippie told me about this translation, and it has made all the difference! Plus, I'm reading with her group #readlesmis. Good to know it's your fave; I'll keep reading on! 😍 16h

Sarah Thornhill | Kate Grenville

I learned of Kate Grenville through Litsy and have become such a huge fan. At first I wasn't that crazy about this one, but after a small break, I loved it and I was sad to see it end. She is so good at writing about this period of Australian history. 4.5 🌟

Lamentation | C.J. Sansom

I finished my reread of this book, and although I thoroughly enjoyed it, it‘s not one of my favorites of the series. Part of what keeps me invested in these stories is the dynamic between the characters, and I felt some of that was missing here. I did find the mysteries intriguing, and, as always, the depiction of Tudor England was fantastic.

Butterfinger I think I will Google to see if a second season is a go. I really enjoyed the first season, and I will read the books. 2d
dabbe I'm almost finished, and I agree with your take 💯! 🤩 2d

A Candle in the Dark | Megan Chance

My #ReadOrDonate book; I did read about a third of it. Megan Chance wrote intense, interesting, dark romances but a lot of their value was in how different they were for their time, and that's no longer a big draw for me. Neither is 400 pages of stress.
