Sometimes I'm surprised by how good the book is, sometimes not.<br /><br />Yes thanks, my husband's recovery is progressing nicely, the drs. are very pleased with his progress.<br /><br />Tracy: I'm sure you will continue to enjoy GH's books as her writing is never anything less than excellent and always such fun to read.<br /><br />Constance: Yes, my love of Arabella, Frederica and Sylvester dwindled slightly as I got older and reread some of the more mature heroine type plots. I still love the naive young girl ones though. <br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-23223394725799219772020-08-04T04:19:59.212+01:002020-08-04T04:19:59.212+01:00Arabella is one of my favorites, and there are bit...Arabella is one of my favorites, and there are bits I know by heart. It will be interesting to see what Tracy thinks: when I first read it, I was a teen close to Arabella in age. I enjoy Heyer's mature heroines more now that I am - ahem - older myself but will never stop loving this one.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-65296009595092485542020-08-03T23:41:26.195+01:002020-08-03T23:41:26.195+01:00I have Arabella on my wish list, but have other bo...I have Arabella on my wish list, but have other books I must read first.

Good luck with August and what you select there. I'm just kind of picking what sounds good in the moment and also trying to keep up with book group selections. It's actually not bad for me to have some 'assigned' reading, though I don't always decide to complete it. I've gone to a couple of 'virtual' book group meetings without having read the book, mostly for the company and talking with others. And that has been fine. It's interesting to hear about what others have been reading too. Take care and hope your husband's recovery is progressing.

The Setterfield is 'interesting'.<br /><br />Val: Yes thanks, Hubby is recovering well from his pneumonia. Progress is slow but sure. And then I put my back out which was not helpful but luckily it's only lasted a couple of days, almost better now.<br /><br />While I don't find Maisie Dobbs to be stressful, the plots are always involved and I learn a lot. All good imo.<br /><br />My pleasure re Georgette Heyer, she's so funny and yes 'unstressful'. I'm feeling like you about stress via books. I know the King Charles book you mean but I've not read it and can't remember the title either. So a lot of help I am. LOL<br /><br />As long as you enjoyed your one book, that's the main thing. I've rediscovered knitting and am having fun with it at the moment. <br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-53099096238081556132020-08-02T22:33:10.066+01:002020-08-02T22:33:10.066+01:00Ok that's Maisie onto my list...it sounds inte...Ok that's Maisie onto my list...it sounds interesting enough to catch my attention but not stressful (limits of my reading ambitions on display here)<br />Now why didn't I think of rereading Georgette Heyer? <br />An old favourite I remember her historical romances as being good fun and somewhere I have quite a few as audio readings ....thank you for reminding me! A civil contract was an especial favourite also the King Charles hiding at Boscobel history based story ...who's title totally eludes me ...I can remember the darn plot but the title...lol<br />I totally get the confusion of the US political machinations..I've lived here for 21 years now and I still have to ask for explanations...well I'm totally impressed by your reading..I have read 1 whole book haha Elly Griffiths ... so I shall see if I can break that record? but first of all I'm off to check what that book was called...lol Hope all is progressing well on the health front Take carexValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003915263556622215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-71073181182010513952020-08-02T20:06:40.588+01:002020-08-02T20:06:40.588+01:00Great month; I haven't read any from your July...Great month; I haven't read any from your July reads but, I do have the Setterfeld on on my TBR.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-48489750050947376302020-08-02T16:49:12.174+01:002020-08-02T16:49:12.174+01:00Lark: Thanks!
