One of my favorite old school HRs is Slightly Dangerous by Mary Balogh. It is a Pride and Prejudice retelling and is very funny. I think it is best read after all the other books in the series so you can see Wulfric through the years. For newer stuff I like Stacy Reid as well.

I read almost all of her stuff a few years ago, but I found she was just an 'okay' author for me. I did like her Wildes of Lindow Castle series. I haven't tried any of her newer stuff.

How do you decide which books to use as your monthly page. Are they all books youve read in past years or do you also pick from the months prior
@taratalksbooks12 күн бұрын
@boxersandbooks I just use ones that I have given a 5 ⭐️ or is an all-time favorite of mine. I usually just pick from books I have read in past years. However, if I do read one this year that is a memorable 5⭐️ or new all-time favorite, I would create a spread for one of the remaining months! 😁 I hope this helps!!
