The book: Things you may not know about this book:
1. It is written by Georgette Heyer. GH and I had a bad time together before, but this is a Regency romance and not a mystery, and so it’s going much better.
2. It is FUNNY. Apparently not many of GH’s books are funny, but this one is.
3. It is populated by stupid people.
4. I have no idea who the couples will be at the end. I have an idea, but it might be wrong. This is actually kind of exciting.
I think this is the first Regency romance I’ve read that wasn’t actually written during the Regency period, too, so overall reading Cotillion is amazingly fun.
The tea: I don’t know if I should buy a new box of Earl Grey now or just wait until we get to California. On the one hand, if I space out my Super Secret Reserve Earl Grey Tea I’ll have enough to last me until we move. On the other hand, I want to drink more tea than that. So! I don’t know.
Do they go together? Yes! They do go together. Didn’t they drink a lot of tea in the Regency period? I don’t know if it was Earl Grey, but I bet it was something similar.

I’m enjoying it so far, though I can see myself getting annoyed with the less-than-intelligent characters after a while. Dolph is adorable but probably best taken in doses, haha!
I’m reading Cotillion and drinking Earl Grey as well! Lol

I haven’t read any Heyer, but my sister really likes her. If I was going to read a Regency romance, I’d want it to be a funny one!

Me too! That’s why I liked Northanger Abbey so much, really.
