Abigail Reynolds may be a nationally bestselling author and a physician, but she can’t follow a straight line with a ruler.

Abigail Reynolds answered Ni Yang's question: It's very great! Thank you for your response. Did Georgiana and the Earl’s illegitimate daughter, Mary, also live happily together, remaining unmarried for life? I started writing a sequel to Mr. Darcy's Obsession about Mary and Georgiana but never finished it. They each married unexpected men. In Mary's case, an aristocratic suitor for Georgiana's hand fell in love with Mary instead, and Georgiana fell in lo See Full Answer

“I like my coffee with cream and my literature with optimism.”
― Abigail Reynolds, Pemberley by the Sea

“Sometimes she wished for someone she could tell about her problems, just to be able to say, ‘I’m in love with a man and I can’t have him.’ But that would only lead to questions she couldn’t answer, so she kept the secret and the pain inside, hoping someday she would no longer feel as if half of her were missing.”
― Abigail Reynolds, The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice

“Do you know what it is to be a man violently in love? To live for a woman's smiles and laughter, to hunger for her touch until life itself seems impossible without it, to desire her as you desire to breathe?”
― Abigail Reynolds, The Last Man in the World

My pleasure! I haven't been getting notices from Goodreads for some reason, so I got a bit behind on responding to requests.

Hi Abigail, thanks for befriending me. It's all new and a bit confusing. I think I agree about To Kill a Mockingbird - just don't think I can make it my absolute favourite - maybe it can share number 1 spot with a dozen other of my favourite books eg David Copperfield, Cold Mountain, Cannery Row and lots more ...
Take care, Martin

There are so many good ones! The Masqueraders, The Grand Sophy, Sylvester and Frederica are some of my favorites. I keep going back to them.

Thanks for the friendship Abigail! Looking at the books you read, makes me want to dig out a Georgette Heyer that I haven't read yet! I've only read a couple but loved them! I so love the Regency settings with the balls and all that fun reading! Looking forward to your recommendations and seeing what you read too! What would you recommend of Heyer's?
