![]() ![]() There was a bit too many characters with complicated names for my liking and I’m sure that would be confusing to any kids who read this book. There was a lot of filler scenes in this story, but I didn’t mind because it was still really enjoyable. I’m always super picky about the pacing in the books that I read, so I was surprised that I was this satisfied with this book’s pacing. ![]() It had a quirky sense of humor and it had great pacing. The writing style in this book was fabulous. The stakes are high in this mystery and while trying to deal with the mystery at hand, a film director expresses a little too much interest in the girl that Hermux is in love with. In this adventure, Hermux is requested to help solve a mystery for the owner of the Varmint Theater. ![]() No Time Like Showtime is part of a series with talking rodents and a clockmaker mouse who solves mystery. It was a fun, quick read that I’m sure I would’ve been obsessed with if I’d read it during my animal books obsession that I had when I was younger. This book was much better than I was anticipating. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unexpectedly Wed to the Officer by Jenni Fletcher - M/F, Regency, Open Door he’s in the Navy, she manages a biscuit shop.

Stories where all MCs are a Working-class people can be thin on the ground in historical romance, especially in the Regency where Dukes are two a penny! You’ll have more luck with pretty much anything set outside of Europe and in particular in America or Australia. Lemeston is a great series isn’t it? If you haven’t, check out the rest of the series because they all feature at least one part of the couple as a member of the working class. ![]() ![]() Something like Listen to the Moon by Rose Lerner. I'd love recs for historical romances with a working class couple (either m/f or m/m). ![]() ![]() From first meeting to final separation, the progress and rituals of intimacy are revealed through the couple?s accumulated relics and memorabilia. Through photographs of the couple?s personal effects?the usual auction items (jewelry, fine art, and rare furniture) and the seemingly worthless (pajamas, Post-it notes, worn paperbacks)?the story of a failed love affair vividly (and cleverly) emerges. In Leanne Shapton?s marvelously inventive and invented auction catalog, the 325 lots up for auction are what remain from the relationship between Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris (who aren?t real people, but might as well be). Think of the collections of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Truman Capote, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. ![]() ![]() Auction catalogs can tell you a lot about a person?their passions and vanities, peccadilloes and aesthetics their flush years and lean. ![]() ![]() ![]() When we free our speech, our voice becomes one.
