Haven't read those yet, Jesse, though I am interested.(Historical mysteries with strong female characters? Very much my thing.) Problem is, my list of stuff I want to read is long, and I often forget about books until I see some mention of them.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.
Buffy ,'Sleeper'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"
I second flea's recommendation of Joanna Bourne. The books are set during the French revolution and Napoleanic era. While they are stand-alones with interconnected characters, it is best to start with =The Forbidden Rose=.
If your library does Overdrive, the books are available there.
Don't bother with =Her Ladyship's Companion= unless you're a real completist.

Aw, I totes love Her Ladyship's Companion, but it is, uh, of its time (1983), with the bruising kisses and all. The one I have trouble with is My Lord and Spymaster, because the 'hero' is such an asshole.

Of it's time, yes. I really like the heroine in ML&S, so I tend to give Sebastian a pass. The villain is all too predictable, however.

Kat, did you just rate a bunch of Lisa Kleypas books on Goodreads, or have I friended the wrong Kat?

Sorry to anyone who was confused, it seems I had an old GoodReads account that had no entries and then the one where I have books. I just closed the old account.

Weird- the link from your facebook message said "Page not found", but when I looked for you on Goodreads, I found the group!
