ha! I just started my semi-annual re-reading of “Sorcery and Cecelia” for the, oh, upteenth time. for all its flaws it is one of my all-time fave stories as it melds magic and regency era. (all my romance reading the time was regency era). I picked it up on first release because one of the authors, Patricia Wrede, was one of my favorite fantasy writers. I fell in love with the concept behind the novel, the letter game, and for six years a friend or two and I used that concept to write our own letter games as we went off to new towns, then college.
There are two books I re-read every year at least twice: Sorcery and Cecelia, as well as The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
An Affair With Mr. Kennedy was lightweight fun. Nothing earth-shattering but I will be happy to continue reading the Yard men series (as in Scotland Yard).
Very cool to see “Sorcery and Cecelia” on the list! One of my favorites, as I mentioned in the epistolary romance comment thread.
“An Affair with Mr. Kennedy” gave me the warm fuzzies, so much so that I preordered the rest of the books in the series. Coincidently I read her “The Seduction of Phaeton Black” over the weekend. It takes place in the same time period, and the main characters both work for the Yard, but good lord are they completely different books!
I’ve placed it in my “bawdy good time” shelf on Goodreads, because once I got past how different they are, that’s exactly what it was.
I can’t believe that I haven’t read any of these. I just finished reading a great romance thriller, “Kincaid and the Legal Massacre” by Curtis D. Carney and loved it. I have been blog hopping around trying to find other great reads. I knew you ladies wouldn’t let me down! I always find some of the best books here. Thank you for listing them, I will definitely be checking them out.
