Hawksquill<p>Book 21 of 2025</p><p>The Ladies Road Guide to Utter Ruin by Alison Goodman</p><p>4 stars</p><p>A very enjoyable sequel! I particularly appreciated the real historical people and events this time around; they felt a little more integrated into the story (and I love me some ladies of Llangollen no matter the context). Some of the mystery elements got a bit convoluted but I am fully committed to the main and secondary romances and very excited about the setup of the next book. Devastating that I'll probably have to wait a year until I find out what happens next 😭 </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Romance</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/RegencyRomance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RegencyRomance</span></a></p>
Hawksquill<p>Book 7 of 2025</p><p>The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman</p><p>4.5 stars<br> <br>A thoroughly enjoyable Regency mystery romp with a social justice and feminist bent. I love that the leading ladies are genuinely old maids (in their forties) and use their own social invisibility to their advantage. There were some surprisingly moving moments, including a passage which I later learned was taken almost word-for-word from Fanny Burney's letters. The romance featuring some of my favorite tropes is just the cherry on top. </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/AmReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmReading</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mystery</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/RegencyRomance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RegencyRomance</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/BookReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookReview</span></a></p>
