Isn't Miss Buncle a delight? I'm tickled by the Her Majesty series, too. Mrs. Harris sounds like a necessary addition to my life. 😊 Antoinette's Sister is now on my list as well. Thank you.

Mrs 'Arris is ace. If you haven't seen it yet the Angela Lansbury film version is wonderful. The new version with Leslie Manhole is almost as charming.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your comments. I love that you speak slowly and clearly. You also reminded me of how much I used to enjoy D.E. Stevenson and have started rereading them. Always look forward to a new vlog, also enjoy when you and your mum are both on. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

Happy New Year Heather. Murder Most Royal and A Snowfall of Silver are going on my TBR. My two five star reads of December were Christmas by the Book and The Christmas Joyride. A new favorite genre of 2023 was historical fiction. Standouts were The Little Stranger and The Light Between Oceans.

I'm glad you enjoyed Bluestockings so much! I'd like to read it or see it at some point too. I'm assuming there's lots of female parts in it which makes me happy since that will help to even the playing field with the ratio of auditioning males to auditioning females 😊

Definitely! A few male roles, but way more female ones, though some of those roles are doubled, according to the notes at the front.

It looks like you had wonderful reads in December. Antoinette's Sisters seems so interesting, thank you for recommending it (I remember learning quite a bit about the Queen of Naples, her useless husband and Nelson and Emma Hamilton thanks to the Lady Hamilton film with Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, have you seen it?). I'm glad to know that the magical element isn't that important in The Luminaries, because this side of the novel has kept me from reading it ever since I bought it some years ago. Miss Buncle's Book is delightful, I hope you will like the sequels. I wonder if you ever read any Angela Thirkell? Her books remind me of D.E. Stevenson's in some ways. Happy New Year Heather, and I'm looking forward to your favorite books of 2023.

The most in-depth class I took was AP European History, where we had to cover the entirety of European history from at least the hundreds until WWII. Needless to say, Naples in the late 1700s did not make the cut. :D Thank God that I've always loved classics and historical fiction and that I've been able to travel. That's filled in some of the gaps.

Fab books. The anti female sentiment in the universities was very vocal well into the 20th century which is quite shocking. Adore the Queen and Prince Philips interaction in the SJ Bennet book too.

Thanks! Yeah, I often forget that the sentiment that led to my grandmother going to university on a bet against her father wasn't just limited to that part of my family. :D
