Debut Post

Though my love of Regency fiction started with Jane Austen, it really took root with Georgette Heyer.  So I have always been on a lookout for good Regency fiction, ones a little light on the activities of the bedchamber and heavy on the activities set in the world outside it--in other words, as close to Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen as I can get.  The Regency series by Zebra, Fawcett, et al. tended to come closest to fitting the bill, and even better, they are generally short, quick reads, but these are discontinued.  Just my luck, given that I only recently discovered them.

But my luck is not completely out.  Today, at a yard sale--to mix metaphors and continents--I struck gold!  For $30, I purchased approximately 560 books, most of which were the old Regency series (though there are a few other historicals, too) and most of which have covers. 

In honor of that find and to try to read them before too many decades pass, I decided to create a blog dedicated to my Regency reads, most of which will be yard sale finds (though occasionally, some will be from other second hand sources or even first hand :-) ).  While I am not quite sure by what criteria I will review the books, I will try include things like sweetness level and enjoyability and male-awesomeness.  If the books are still available, I'll try to include links to them for readers to look into--and sometimes these will be Amazon Affiliate or the like links.  But overall, my point is to enjoy these books and point out what I enjoy--and don't--about them, both as a reader and a writer.

I hope you enjoy this blog too, and don't be afraid to let me know your thoughts on the books or the reviews.

Thanks for reading!
