If you’ve ever finished a historical romance and found yourself thinking about it for days—the way the heroine claimed her power (for better or for worse), the way another time and place burst off the page—you already know what makes this genre extraordinary. Maybe you’ve debated whether the title Duke is overused, have strong feelings…
A few nights ago, Dr. Feelgood and I watched The Idea of You. If you live in the States, you’ve probably seen one of the bazillion article/videos about this Amazon produced film. Critics have, given that it is a straight up romance (unlike the book which inspired it), mostly liked it. It’s lauded for its…

It’s time to discuss our first book club choice, Jennifer Crusie’s Manhunting. Here’s our DIK review from 1999 and here’s a readers’ guide from Crusie. This is the first novel Crusie wrote–have you read others? How do you think this one holds up?
Once upon a time there was a romance novelist who blithely signed up to retell Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Once upon a time there was a romance novelist who was an idiot. That would be me. I’m kidding – kind of.
I love a good series. It’s a joy to follow a well-built world or hero through several books, watching their secrets and adventures unfurl. And yet….. I don’t love series with large gaps between release that rely on detailed knowledge of what happened earlier. This was experience with the last season of the wonderful BBC…
Wow! I voted for the winner but never expected it would be the one. Look forward to reading it and the discussion next month.
For any audio listeners out there, I think this one is even better (and I would give it an A in book form) in audio! So good.
With Nicholas Boulton as narrator,I can only imagine!
I am excited about this one although all three are books I’ve enjoyed.
I actually own this and have never read it yet so I’m excited. I really would have been happy with most of the choices offered. I haven’t read a good Medieval story in quite a while so I have high hopes for this one! Looking forward to the discussion!
I love a good Medieval!
I’m looking forward to reading, well listening, to this again and participating in the discussion.
I lost track of time for this! Let’s discuss it on December 9th!
Works for me.
I had all three of the series in the cloud and thanks to the coming discussion I reread all three and enjoyed them more the second time around!see you on December 9th.
