Thanks for sharing, Sandra. I have read a couple of them: Belgravia, which I enjoyed (also enjoyed the TV series of the same name). I did not enjoy the American Heiress as much, although it was an interesting time period. The version I read was called My Last Duchess, based on the rather sad life of Consuelo Vanderbilt. I might have a look at a couple of the other recs from the list.

[Sandra]

What now?! :(

[Lauren]

I know, I'm soo disappointed! RIP Z library. :(

[Sandra]

Yes!!! :(
Do you know some site similar to Z-Library?

[Oleander]

I never used z library but I use Open Library. It has most of the older romance books that I look for. I also just started using BooksVooks. The last two books I wanted (not historical) have been on there. I haven't looked at their HR titles yet. Both sites are free. Open Library asks you for donations and I have given them a little because I appreciate the site.

[Lauren]

@Sandra, library genesis has some of the books. I hope this site doesn't go down too! Still, it's not as good as z library. :(

@Oleander, I love openlibary but z library had a wider selection of older books and newer books.

[Sandra]

Thanks, Oleander and Lauren, I will try them. I've also gave some donations to Z-Library, that was the least I can do, I've downloaded some many books... :)

Very sad especially for those of us subjected to the dreaded geo-restrictions of Amazon :(

This was a fun video. Thanks for sharing!

[Merry]

Sandra, Enjoyed this a lot. Thank you.

[Lauren]

Thanks you so much, Sandra, for the link to z library alternatives

[Sandra]

Lauren, one of them it's a "google" to find where the books are available, for the book I was looking didn't work, but it seems very practical.

[Lauren]

Thank God for Google ;) Thanks to most of those sites I haven't paid for a book in months.

[Mamacita aka MawMaw]

Hey ya'll. I need some help because I can't think of the name of the book . I thought that there was a thread for this but I couldn't find it. Anyhoo, I just found this book on GR, then I lost it by closing the tab like an idiot before I could add it to my shelves.


So in this book the Heroine has like 12 children. I don't know if they're her children or if they're orphan she takes care of or what. Anyway she goes for one last ditch better fun and meets the hero. Then he has to go all about letting her know that there is no obstacle big enough for him to not want her. I think he might have four children too. But I don't know about that.


One of the reviews said it reminded her of The Brady Bunch and listed the actual show tunes song in her reviews and it was so funny. It reminded me of Cheaper by the Dozen movie with Steve Martin.



But my husband called me away from the phone and that's how that all the above mess happened of me closing out the damn tab.

So does anybody have a clue what book this is?

[Oleander]

I don't know the book but GR has a list of HR with kids in plot that might help you narrow it down https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

[Lauren]

@Mamacita, could it be Three Weeks To Wed by Ella Quin?

Nope. Gah I wish I could find it.

I looked through there and I don't think it's been added to that list either

Viking takes a knight by Sandra Hill.

@MawMaw, did you read the review on a web browser (instead of the app)? If you did, then perhaps the page will appear in your history?

[Missy]

I just saw this on an HR group on Facebook!

Sinful Wallflowers Series by Stacy Reid Being Adapted for TV

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

That sounds like it might be good. I am fed up with the same HR books being made over and over again. It’s probably why the Bridgertons done so well. Because it’s new.

[Merry]

Missy I am looking forward to this series. I have only read the first book in it really liked it. Reid can be hit or miss for me.

No I actually read it on my kindle in GR, which I never do. Also I use desktop on my phone & have tons of tabs open do that would be a hard thing to find also. But I would have searched the hell out of that way anyways. Lol

So cool! I wish they would do the Lisa Kleypas Wallflowers or one of her other series too. How fun would that be.

[Mamacita aka MawMaw]

I really appreciate ya'll trying to help me find the name of this book. But I am totally not giving up.




Again thank you. So sweet.

This is exciting! I really enjoy her books.

[Oleander]

I'm very happy to hear this about the future tv series. I'm so tired of all the dark stuff tv shows full of melodrama misery. Looking forward to some sinful wallflowers. 🌻📺😊

[Missy]

@MawMaw, there's a House of Brady Series by Kieran Kramer. Maybe it's one of those books?

[Joanna Loves Reading, Bluestocking of HR novels]

Thanks for sharing Missy! I haven’t read those books, but I did enjoy the ones I did read by Reid. I think I will try to listen to them. I’m guessing I will be less attached to how they pull it off since I haven’t read it.

[Lauren]

Are all the wonderful mods. coming back? I hope Romance Accros The Ages is coming back? I love that group! I also hope we get to try BINGO this year. I'm sure you will something. I just was curious
