Through Genesis. We have some people (like Joseph of the cloak fame) that refuse to do certain things based off if it was "good" or God wanted them to do it which would imply that God is letting His rules be known even pre-Commandments, but where is it coming from? And other people (perhaps just sinning to be fair) seem to have no indication of anything moral.

I love how hilariously apparent it is that these short stories were written when she was still a kid

I'm not loving this so far

Who can save 50% of their income in this economy?? Also, he literally uses an example of someone making $25,000 annually, who can "reduce their needs" so they can live on $12,500 A YEAR. It's not possible dude. Not in the US, anyways. What world are you living in?

This is doubly impossible if you "own" (by which I mean have a mortgage on) a house and have kids.

Why did Heyer insist on giving men a pass at being lecherous manwhores?? The nearly entire page given to explaining how men are just that way and you can't get upset about it made me wanna puke.

And doubly a shame because the rest of this is so good so far!

This is feeling like it has some curse of the middle book tendencies: slow pacing, separated characters (WHHHHY), and what feels like a lot of filler. But most importantly, where is Qadir????

I get on here every week or so to add more books to my TBR and watch myself fall farther and farther behind in my reading challenge 🙃

Yikes yikes yikes. It does make you wonder what we do now in the medical field that in 100 years or more will be looked back on in horror.

100% was convinced I had never read this. Apparently I did 10 years ago.

I'm trying, okay?

Struggling to motivate myself with this one.

Yeah, I can see why I gave up on this one earlier.

I know I tried picking this one up years ago and got bored and set it aside, so here's hoping it hits better this time!

Really enjoying this one so far!

My 11th Heyer this year!!

Meh

A bit of a dud. I don't have any interest in continuing it, alas that it's a Netgalley.

Some insight to learn from, some to disregard, and all a bit on the repetitive side.

I appreciate that it's not "life hacks" to get more done, and more a mindset shift. His talk of "deep time" really resonated. It's the feeling you get when reading a lot of older literature, or especially for me, L.M. Montgomery. There's this sense of, for lack of a better term, timelessness that I crave when I read her books.

Needed a little break from Heyer and am so excited to dive into this one!

The first 30 pages had me dreading the rest of the book, but after Eustacie starts her "adventure", things improved IMMENSELY.

Not really feeling this one.

I think the title is overly dramatic for what the book is, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the friendship taking center stage over the romance.

Oooh, he arrives. Curious to see how this aspect of the story is written, as that could really make or break it.

I still don't like Worth, and Judith isn't doing a whole lot for me either.
