#Editors, if you loved Jane Austen's "Sense & Sensibility," you'll swoon for the obstinate headstrong heroine in "Lady Weatherby's Soirée."

Regency England: A 29-year-old spinster must marry off her pretty younger sister after a botched season in Bath—but when she tries to snag a rich neighbor's guest of honor, she accidentally catches his eye herself and unleashes the kraken of drama in her small town.

I made a book haul in Europe. My TBR list just tripled. I'll highlight some of them later on here.

Anna, 29, is single and content, but in Regency England, a freckled face and red hair don't exactly scream, "Marry me." If she can marry off her pretty younger sister, though, maybe her mom will stop the horrible matchmaking.

Two thumbs up!! Next time I'm ordering a round of books I've seen on here, I'm ordering the next one in this series. The 1980s setting was amazing and realistically portrayed just as I remember it. Extra points for the character on the left in the cowboy hat.

Wanted: Obstinate headstrong girl to marry off pretty younger sister & scare away unwanted suitors.
Bonus points if you one-up the snooty viscountess next door by stealing her guest of honor for the sis. More if he likes you!

Has this ever happened to you? You're single and lovin' it, but your mom keeps trying to marry you off? Hi, Billy Mays here to KEEP YOUR SANITY in Regency England. Scare off those unwanted suitors! Call now and get a free steam engine for your ballroom! #UnhingedPit #Humor #AG

#Editors, do you wish JANE AUSTEN had written more novels? This heroine doesn't think twice about foiling her mother's attempts at matchmaking. Or stealing Lady W's guest of honor for her sister. Heck, she just wants to get back to her excessive reading.

Jenny Hale has a book coming out soon. If you need ideas for Mother's Day, look no further. Also, if you need a birthday gift for ladies who love the beach OR who have worked in a public school.

The writing style flows nicely! I read the ARC.

🍀BREAKING NEWS! OLD MAID NOW POPULAR!
Anna only wanted to marry off her pretty sister after the governess ran off with her guy. Who would've guessed Sir E might like an old maid with the awful case of freckles and bluestocking Latin?

Regency England: 29-year-old Anna's red hair gives her no luck of the Irish. 🍀If she can't marry off her pretty younger sister, she'll never get back to reading her book. If only the former governess hadn't double-crossed her in love...

This was a fun read! If you like British Isles folklore and ghostly type stories, you will like this one.
My favorite was the Welsh story called “Mermaid Beach” with its ending with a twist.

I just finished reading Elizabeth Gaskell's "North and South." I definitely got some "Pride and Prejudice" vibes and will be so bold to say that it's an updated version set 40 years later in Northern England. A better title might have been "Trade and Prejudice."

Now reading "Of Lightning and Silver" by Julianne Munich.
It has vampires, magic, and murder in a Regency England setting with some Bram Stoker vibes.
