So happy you like it! I'm enjoying it a ton.

Courtney wrote: "I just started the book last night, but I am enjoying it! I noticed it was only published in 1957, but it certainly has the feel of other Regency era things I've read, like Austen."
Heyer is an absolute master of historical details.

Please feel free to jump in and start discussing the December book anytime!

Please do! Everyone else jump in to share Whatever you're reading. :)

Oops! Forgot to start this sooner. What do people think? Also, I think folks might find his poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol interesting to read.

Honestly every time I read this book, there comes a point where I'm just like, "You know what? I'm not going to try to keep track." Ha!

Just getting this ready for whenever folks are ready to start discussing this book!

As I admitted last night at the meeting (which, by the way, went great as a hybrid in-person/Zoom meeting), this is one of my very favorite books. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. (And if you don't, I promise, no hard feelings!) :)

Reminder that First Monday is returning Oct. 4!

We will be discussing The Body by Stephen King. Same time as ever--2 pm. Everyone is welcome. :)
