2. Faro's Daughter by Georgette Heyer (classic edition of her Regency Romance)
3. Powder & Patch by Georgette Heyer (classic edition of her Regency Romance)

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
Happy Birthday and enjoy all your new presents!

ReplyDeleteI knew you said it was in July, but somehow I thought it was later in the month.
I hope it was a great celebration!
The best birthday ever! LOVE getting to pick books out - although this year, my older daughter decided that I would do better with a new bookcase (already overflowing) to hold the books I already have! Hope it was great!
