Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you Sarah for the fun extra goodies ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was an #LMPBC book & I quite enjoyed it, as I do most Heyer stories. This one did get a little rambly, & while stuttering in real life doesn't bother, having to c-c-constantly r-r-read it b-b-began to get old. But overall, it was a bunch of entertaining shenanigans. @Chrissyreadit I should get this in the mail to you next week!! I've so enjoyed reading along with you all!!

If I want to catch up on my page goal for June, I need to read 2280 pages during the #20in4 readathon! 😂 That probably won't happen, but I'm going to see how close I can get!! Either way, I need to read the tagged book - the last #LMPBC read for this round!!

Sorry #LMPBC friends, I didn‘t like this one. It just didn‘t work for me. Maybe if I had realized how old the book was (published 1934), I would have went in with a different mindset. I skimmed a lot of it.

I always feel really guilty/bad not liking LMPBC books.

Sarah- I‘ll try to get this in the mail to you this week.

Hey friends!! I should probably post my list for my own challenge, right?? 😂 So here is my #BookSpinBingo list in all its glory!! As always, a bunch of challenge reads, a few library holds, & the rest from the neverending TBR!! The Blessing Way has been on my list at least three months - is June the lucky month??

Still plenty of time to post your list if you haven't yet - I draw the numbers on the 2nd!!

Received both #LMPBC books for this month! I received Twelve Dancing Princesses last week but never posted it.

Can‘t wait to read these!

❤️❤️❤️❤️ I just loved this book. #lmpbc
It‘s madcap, sort of problematic in today‘s day and age (think daddy long legs may- sept romance) but I did love the characters.

Fabulous audiobook, so funny!!!

It's cold and damp in Edinburgh and my night out with friends latest longer than I anticipated so in selling in for an cozy early night. This is not really my genre but I'm always stuck for lighter reading so I'm giving it a shot!

I really love this cover. I'm liking the gold foil lately. #coverlove #lordsandladies

This novel was my very first romance novel. I read it in 1968 at age 10. It made me a lifelong fan of romance. Heyer never fails to delight. This is a light hearted romp. When Miss Horry suggest to the Earl of Rule a marriage of convenience, she intended to be a good wife. But society has many pitfalls for an inexperienced lady. Especially when several villains wish to destroy her marriage.

Everybody always raves about Heyer, and I usually find her work to be meh. The fashionable young men pretending to be highwaymen was pretty funny, though. And it was interesting to read a book set in 1776 that only just barely mentions "the war in America."

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I have, at long last, read my first Georgette Heyer book. And it was a resounding success, hysteria and misunderstandings aside. The Convenient Marriage has one of my favorite proposal scenes ever. And Rule. It has Rule. ❤

I've decided to make this My Year of Georgette Heyer and keep you guys posted on my progress through her body of work. Excelsior!

Opening line:
"Lady Winwood being denied, the morning called inquired with some anxiety for Miss Winwood, or, in fact, for any of the young ladies."

I almost can't believe I'm rating a GH book "so-so" as I worship so many of her stories. Still, her Regency romances are where my heart lies and I find I can't get as invested in the heros in her books set in an earlier time period with their powdered wigs and high heels.

Loved this book by Gorgette Heyer. My mom introduced me to these and at first I was skeptical because it isn't my usual genre, but the humor is great and the book is short enough that I read it in an afternoon. The plot reminded me a lot of The Scarlet Pimpernel, which was a mark in its favor. If you like older books, I definitely recommend this one. 😊

Currently listening to this on audiobook. Richard Armitage is such a good narrator. I could listen to his voice all day long....
