I wonder if any of the #ReadingHeyer #DowagersAssemble #GeorgetteHeyerReadalong crowd have read A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting? And what they made of it?

I found it quite enjoyable, but for me it really highlighted how amazingly good Heyer was - creating that world and that voice and never letting it slip for a moment - making you genuinely believe it was a period piece, even if she did invent some of the slang herself. And how detailed her research was...

@ethicsgirl @katehandheld So much I didn't see when I first read it as a teenager, chuckling the whole way through! #ReadingHeyer

Hello. Lovely to see so many names from #ReadingHeyer and the GeorgetteHeyerReadalong among the #DowagersAssemble hashtag. I’m Bubb1es on Twitter but swapped my handle for this one.

@katehandheld It developed over on the birdsite during first lockdown, and was a sort of online reading group. We haven't done one for a while, but when we've settled in here, I think it would be fun to do another. Enjoying the books is the only requirement.

So here’s trying for a better #introduction. I’m a #psychologist by trade from #Birmingham UK. But I’m not here to talk about work! I’d rather talk about anything #books #knitting #films #cat #politics related. Waiting for the #ReadingHeyer crowd to show up
