One of my friends from the Georgette Heyer group just posted that GHs books are on sale in the kindle store at Amzn for $1.99!

This is tremendous bec her titles usually cost $10!

[Kat, Baroness (in her own right)]

That's awesome! Thanks, Andrea! I should read a GH book soon. :)

Earls Just Want to Have Fun by Shana Galen is free at AMZN in the US.

I've never tried this author, but the title is hilarious

Yay, thanks! I've been wanting to read this!

Ladies,

I am looking for new releases of the Christmas/Winter variety - not a collection of short stories. All I seem able to find this year are modern tales a la Macomber (snore) and collections. Any suggestions? (I'm willing to hear your advice on older books, but ive read a lot of them.)

[Daniella]

Hi Tiffany!

Yeah, it's actually hard to find new Christmas/winter-themed releases since they're usually anthologies.

But you can check out . I haven't read that yet, though, so I can't vouch for it.

There's also . The focus really isn't on Christmas, but it has a winter setting :)

[Daniella]

Oh, there's also and but they're not really new releases.


You can check this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

[Tiffany]

Thanks for the idea. I've given 2 a try in the Romain series and DNF either. I was able to find the first you mentioned at the library.

Usually, there are quite a few seasonal novels alongside the anthologies, but they seem to have dropped off this year. :\

[Daniella]

Hi guys! Would any of you happen to know some good "friends to lovers" HR books?

[Kat, Baroness (in her own right)]

This trope is rare in HR. But here are some that I've read:

[Kat, Baroness (in her own right)]

I would just like to ask... I'm running an all-indie romance book review blog and I would like to know if anyone from the group would be willing to be a contributing reviewer?

This is the link to the blog: https://khbookreviews.wordpress.com/

Hi all,

I just learned via another group that LKleypas' Hathaway family series books are bundled for $9.99 at US kindle AMZN store.

In addition, the person who posted this info, says this bundle is marked down in other countries' kindle store too!

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Gentle Warrior a Medieval by Julie Garwood is $1.99 at Amzn.com.

[Kat, Baroness (in her own right)]

Thanks Andrea! :)

Thanks, Mariana. Ughhh I've been meaning to read the entire series ages ago but never got around to doing it.

I have only read three of...six I think; but they were all good. I recommend.

Currently suffering from withdrawal.

Caffeine withdrawal, that is.

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Are you giving up caffeine?

[Kat, Baroness (in her own right)]

Just wondering if any of you have read any HR novels that got 5 stars from you since the start of this year... :)

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

I've had five four 5-star HR reads since start of the year.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Good question Kat. I just checked my shelves - no 5 stars this year but a few worthy four stars... and

Thanks Lisa. Would definitely check these out.

[Priya]

No 5-stars so far. Have two 4 stars - Saving Grace and The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Kat, I'm sorry I didn't post the titles.

While I was posting to your question, it was after midnight in my part of the world and I was struggling with one of my endless bouts of insomnia! My brain wasn't at full capacity!

These two books were reccoed to me by two ladies on my GR flist, and boy am I glad that they did. I was just over the moon about these two books :

1) Western or Americana? : Eyes of Silver, Eyes of Gold by Ellen O'Connell

2) Medieval: Tabor's Trinket by Janet Lane.

I hope you like them.

[Kat, Baroness (in her own right)]

Hello Kat. 100! Great!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Congrats Kat. Really enjoying this group.

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Wow! 100 members at HRBC! Cool!

On Sunday, I added the 100th person to my flist.

Very sad. She used to post discussion comments regularly in the various HR groups.

I'm very late in finding this, but was a beautiful friends to lovers story.

[Diana]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a good historical romance read that is funny. I love a witty heroine and funny banter between the hero and heroine. Can you recommend any? One example I can think of is "The Bride" by Julie Garwood. Anything you can recommend would be great!

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Diana, Black Sheep by the great Georgette Heyer has great banter between the hero/heroine.

This is one of my favorites of her romances.

[Katariina]

Diane, I am currently reading and I would recommend that.

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

I've seen the movie "Love & Friendship."

I really liked it!

I'm really glad that I spent part of Thursday and Friday reading the 85 pgs novella.

Some things were more obvious in the novella that wasn't captured on film, but still the movie was well-done.

Oh, I'm so jealous! They still haven't added a release date for Germany. Well, Imdb has it listed as to be released sometime late in June, but on the websites of local cinemas it gets no search hits whatsoever :( And it looks so promising. I love that Stephen Fry is in this!

[Andrea AKA Catsos Person]

Andrea,

Do go and see it when it becomes available.

It's a really beautiful film!
