Ranking Every Georgette Heyer Book I've Read [CC]
Просмотров 9182 года назад
A somewhat experimental video in which I discuss my feelings on all the Georgette Heyer novels I read in spring 2022 (plus one extra). Accompanying blog post: ballgownsandbooks.wordpress.com/?p=1252 Linnet Moss' blog post: linnetmoss.com/2017/05/31/georgettes-gentlemen-or-heyers-heroes/
Thank you for this video! I enjoyed it so much. I have just finished reading my first Georgette Heyer book. The Quiet Gentleman. I took a while to get into the story, but in the end I enjoyed it very much. I will definitely reread this one some time. I think the second time round it will be a different but equally satisfying experience.
Agree with all your picks, but you have to read "The Grand Sophy". Then you will put it in a MOST FAVORITE category all on its own.
Agree with many of your picks, particularly your high scorers, although I was very much surprised by your low opinion of "Friday's Child." Heyer actually revisited FC characters to rework into "Cotillion" (hero being a bit of a mashup of Gil & Ferdy.) I would love to know your opinion of "Sprig Muslin" because there are no rakes and great ancillary characters. Happy Heyer!
I can't wait to discuss As Long As the Lemon Trees Grow! we really did nail the timing I hope you enjoy Queen of the Tiles! 💗💗 I'm hoping to read more Hanna Alkaf during the readathon too. Also I can't remember if you've mentioned you play Scrabble before but I love how that worked out! I really liked Huda F. Are You! I'm looking forward to reading along with y'all, and I hope the event finds many people who need it 💖 hoping to film my TBR today!
i had to run and see if i had ..you think you know me bcz i felt like i had that book..nope i dont.
That’s a shame! I hope you’re able to get hold of it - or that you’re able to join in with another book maybe 🙂
ALSO perfect opportunity to pick up the Sunbolt Chronicles if my shiny new copy gets here in time!
YES! AND - this literally occurred to me as I was filming this video - accidentally perfect timing on us having Lemon Trees in November for Not a Genre!
@@BallgownsAndBooks YES!! it occurred to me too, I love how it worked out 🥰
Hana I'm so excited y'all are hosting this again! can't wait to pick my books, love the prompts also the stars on your hijab are so beautiful!
Cara I’m so glad!! I can’t wait for you to join us 🤗 And thank you!!
You absolutely have to try “Sylvester or the Wicked Uncle” hijinks, comedy, great side characters and a pride and Prejudice-esque romance. It’s one of my favorites!
ooh I've also heard good things about the Wisteria Society - very interested in your thoughts since I've gone back and forth on if I'm likely to enjoy it! haha yes It's Not That Radical sounds so good! as you know that's one I've been excited about too
YES, ALL THE TARISAI LOVE 💜💜💜 definitely one of my favorite protagonists as well I'm so excited to hear your thoughts on The Late Mrs. Willoughby! apparently I had put The Fairy Tellers on my TBR and forgotten about it - thank you for reminding me of it, I'm excited all over again! Ooh, I love the cover for Marikit and the Ocean of Stars too. I am really impressed at how early you are with this!! mine will probably go up at the end of August if I'm lucky 🤣 Hmm newest fictional crush...I feel like this year I've had couples I really enjoyed but not so much fictional crushes? and usually I have both
She’s so great! Ooh I can’t wait to hear what you think of The Fairy Tellers! Aha lol well, first (and probably only) time for everything! I just know it’s going to be a busy summer, and if I didn’t post this now, it would probably be September!
Thank you for the fantastic share.
Assalamu alaikum bestie! ♥️
Wa alaykum as salam my love 💜💜
I love Mehdi Hasan's commentary/interviews and I've been curious about his book! ah you're so welcome! 💞 can't wait for your thoughts on Queen of the Tiles!! (also sorry for complicating your physical TBR goal lol) so glad you loved Cut From the Same Cloth! it's one I really want to get to
It sounds so interesting!! Tbh anything Mehdi Hasan writes is bound to be at least a little bit thought-provoking! I’m so excited for Queen of the Tiles!! This is a worthy reason to complicate 😊 Cut from the Same Cloth is so good - definitely recommend!!
You didn't mention These old Shades, Faro's daughter and The Convenient marriage. I'm going to guess from your taste that you probably can't stand them, but they're brilliant. Also, Arabella and Frederica which I personally don't like much are incredibly popular among her fans.
First of all, I’m amazed that anyone new actually found this video?! And yes, you’re right - I haven’t read any of the ones you mention, but based on everything I’ve heard, I doubt they will be for me! I’m happy for everyone who likes them, but I just really don’t get on with rakish heroes! Arabella is the only one of those I still plan to try, but mostly I’m happier rereading my favourites over and over at the moment 😂
P R O M O S M 😋
you already know I loved this! 💖💖💖 also I think this blog post link still goes to your old blog name! 🥰
