Thank you Susan! & Abigail! & Moloch! & Barb & Anne1 The Foundling
2 Sylvester
3 An Infamous Army
4 The Nonesuch
5 The Unknown Ajax.
& thats 5! Nominations closed. I will put up the poll tomorrow.
I’d be very happy with The Foundling but will add a nomination for Sylvester.
Hello!I nominate An Infamous Army: from what I've read in this group, it sounds interesting.
Thank you
I'd like to nominate The Nonesuch. It came close to winning the January spot, so I figure it deserves a second chance.
Hi Everyone!The poll is now up. Please let me know if the poll doesn't work properly. Normally I test it out by voting myself, but I haven't made up my mind yet!

Appreciate all you do, Carol. Happy New Year, Polk is perfectly fine with me. 😎
Poll, not Polk…not sure how an American president name got in there, other than autoincorrect striking again. I typed “poll”, but somewhere between my checking it & hitting post, things changed. 🙄

Only about 3.5 hours to go!
& the voting has ended & The Foundling won!
Yay! I look forward to revisiting this one, just bummed I can’t get the audiobook (no longer on Audible or at my library).
Maybe someone else will record it one day soon and it will become available again. I am sorry, Susan. I like some things on Audible, but I always have to have a test run, narration can make or break the experience for me.

I ordered a CD from Amazon, I feel like a dinosaur, but we have one DVD player in the house that still works! I watch all my old DVDs on it, and this is a favorite Heyer, and the narrator is Phyllida Nash, my favorite Heyer narrator! So worth having for me!
That’s good. We still have our Bose, so we still play CDs on it.
Oops, I totally missed the voting because of Goodreads dumping me out of threads all the time. Oh well, happy to read The Foundling! Unlike many, I enjoy the Heyers that focus more on adventure than romance, and that show the commoners and not just London aristocratic life.
Not my favorite but I think we could all use a break from reality and the news right now so I'm game. I'll keep voting for my hero of choice, Sir Waldo, in the future.
I love The Foundling. I read it many years ago and really didn’t enjoy it but revisited it about five years ago and loved it. It’s comic and profound in equal measure and, I think, shows GH at the top of her powers. A very clever book!!

I just love the Foundling. I feel that it’s one of her stronger tales, and is a top favorite of mine. It definitely showcases the depth of her talent, which I absolutely appreciate. It’s always a fun time to spend in a book 😊📚
Sounds like we have similar tastes in Heyer, Crazy about Love! Arabella and The Foundling are high on my list as well.
Bummed, my CD of The Foundling, as narrated by Phyllida Nash, arrived today, in new condition, but my DVD player won’t play it! Says “this disc cannot be played”!🤬 my husband has an old CD player attachment thing for an old laptop (haven’t a clue, I’m a Luddite), he’s seeing if he can get it to work, otherwise back it goes! Very annoying, why did Audible remove it?
