I wonder if any of the #ReadingHeyer #DowagersAssemble #GeorgetteHeyerReadalong crowd have read A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting? And what they made of it?

I found it quite enjoyable, but for me it really highlighted how amazingly good Heyer was - creating that world and that voice and never letting it slip for a moment - making you genuinely believe it was a period piece, even if she did invent some of the slang herself. And how detailed her research was...

@gmp And another Dowager joins the throng at our digital Almack's! Welcome, Geraldine! #DowagersAssemble

Which Georgette Heyer novel would you recommend to a total newcomer to her historical romances as a good one to begin with? (Not me: I've been reading her for decades. This is a public service for the Heyer-curious.)

@katehandheld It developed over on the birdsite during first lockdown, and was a sort of online reading group. We haven't done one for a while, but when we've settled in here, I think it would be fun to do another. Enjoying the books is the only requirement.

@juliahowe @ailbhe More #DowagersAssemble !

@Venetiasbooth I remember wondering early in the #GeorgetteHeyerReadalong , when Lucie was rate-limited, whether we should all just sweep out and set up our own instance. But it is rather fun to have #DowagersAssemble gradually and appear in my timeline!

@MeherO So far, no-one has had to be ejected for turning up improperly dressed! #DowagersAssemble

@virtuosew Hi, lovely to see so many #DowagersAssemble here.
Almost Almacks.

Do I detect the arrival of another Dowager? Welcome, @MeherO !

Welcome @LBAAlison!

Other friends with publishing- adjacent interests are talking of #Bookodon as their equivalent of #DowagersAssemble, but I don't know how widespread it has become.

@virtuosew @Venetiasbooth I also have @LBAAlison now #DowagersAssemble

Useful to search for #knitting, #crochet, and other interesting hashtags!

@GrowlyCub I think @ailbhe found it, and she's not on this server. I can't see hashtags being useful if they weren't visible across the whole of Mastodon, and they are much used.
