"The sounds and smells of rural life were seldom far away, and the parish clerk would sometimes have to shepherd the gaggle of ducks that lived in the churchyard away from the door when the service was about to begin."

I took this Georgette Heyer off the shelf today (but then had to check Goodreads to see if I‘d already read it 😆).
😂😂 I must go in quest of people named Wickham. In the meantime, who‘d like to take a turn about the room?
pickThis 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. ⤵️
What a beautiful song, Robert Burns poem written in 1794. #JuneSpecials RedRose @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickI 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 ?
pickThis traveling matchmaker series is light and fluffy and perfect when you‘re not in the mood to think too much. 3.5⭐️

pickI picked this up on a whim (and then actually bought it again!), and I wish I had read it immediately. It's a wonderful packet of three stories, with the same main characters and some wonderful sass and adventure, set in a time where neither sass or adventure were things ladies were wanted to have. Awaiting book 2 with bated breath! #20-205
