Sarah Maclean is fantastic and I’m sure you will gobble delicious Rule of Scoundrels series up! Love reading great series “late” and not having to wait for next installment. And thanks for link to 18th century masquerade balls.

How did you get used to listening to audiobooks? I’ve tried several times and I can’t make it, although, on the other hand, I read tons of “traditional” books as well as ebooks (Kindle is still the greatest invention of the humankind ;)).
I love this post series, btw. I always find something interesting in your propositions – so thanks for sharing them!
xoxo, Margaret

Thanks, Margaret! I have fun writing these. As for Audiobooks: what was key for me was figuring out what I like to listen to. For me, it tends to be rereads: Books I’ve read before and loved and want to revisit.
