Well, that's something of a compliment anyway (to you), or at least I mean it to be.

Can't you just see Cary Grant playing a lot the leading men? My most recent Heyer was Cousin Kate, which is more gothic than most of hers. It was an interesting contrast but my favourites are still the funny ones.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-22336219211534217042012-11-27T00:17:15.087-06:002012-11-27T00:17:15.087-06:00I've just finished The Unknown Ajax, which was...I've just finished The Unknown Ajax, which was very funny (and I hadn't read before) and am now re-reading one of my favourites, Frederica. I knew when I started Ajax that this would lead to a mini-binge, but sometimes a good GH just hits the spot.skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-51396733152218140502012-11-26T20:33:03.513-06:002012-11-26T20:33:03.513-06:00This is never a comfortable book for me, I think I...This is never a comfortable book for me, I think I take Phoebe's trials too much to heart, starting with her stepmother - and culminating in that moment when Sylvester walks away from her, so devastating. But I agree, it has a wonderful ensemble, who add so much to the story.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-11090456321055794262012-11-26T18:44:26.799-06:002012-11-26T18:44:26.799-06:00This is making me equal parts want to reread Pride...This is making me equal parts want to reread Pride and Prejudice and read Sylvester (which I think I own, somewhere) for the first time.

It does sound deliciously fun though, and I love that the characters are so human and so realistic. I have just gotten my toe into the Sarah Tolerance mystery, so there is not time for this one right now, but you'd better believe that this one is going at the top of my list. Your stellar review has captured me!! Good job today with this one. A reread that stands out like this is destined for my doorstep!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
