I liked them in high school, mos def, but now I think I'd be like "Where's the urban pain and carnage?" I'm just really fickle, though. Jane, it's not you, it's me. And that evil seducer, Dennis Lehane.(I've changed a lot since high school.)
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Austen would actually slightly nose out Shakespeare and CS Lewis if I could take the complete works of just one author to a desert island. My Regency heresy is that I'm fairly "meh" about Heyer. I enjoy her books as an occasional snack, but don't have any urge to read them over and over again.

I've read one or two of her books, but it's been awhile. I should try her again, especially given how much time I spend wondering if the similarity in our names is a good or a bad thing, since I'd be shelved right beside her if I use my real name.
She's also local, I believe.
I can lend you some of her books, if you'd like.

did it have roses on the cover? I think I'm thinking of the same book....
It may have had roses -- it's been a while. In the plot there was a question of child parentage settled by birthmarks (of course), and the rest of the book pretty much revolved around descriptions of clothing and of sex.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I appreciate Austen, but only really love one, and with a fierce hot love, and that's the one that seems to strike the least chords among the women I know. I'm a Persuasion freak.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because you're already subscribed -- the option isn't relevant.

That'd be cool. Pretty soon I'll have to swing by your way and bring you boxes of baby clothes along with the old Balogh Regencies you loaned me, anyway.

I've never read any Austen at all. Or Brontë

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
