ReplyDeleteI guess Betty Magdalen slept in.
I know I've read all these books, but after a while the titles all start looking alike.
A Little Moonlight gets my vote as that Scottish book just annoys me.
Romantic Encounter over Beatrice and the Endocrinologist
oh dear, oh dear--a coin toss--and the winner is Happy Meeting
Old Fashioned Girl is one of my favorites
and finally
A Valentine for Daisy another favorite. But I also like At Odds with Love--just not quite as much.
A Little Moonlight
ReplyDeleteAn Unlikely Romance ♥
The Quiet Professor
An Old-Fashioned Girl

*A Little Moonlight - Like this one a lot even though it has one of *those* mothers in it. Like Serena and Marc.
ReplyDelete*Romantic Encounter - One of my favorites. Love Florence and Alexander. Like the knickers showing after the wreck rescue! ha Also really like An Unlikely Romance too, though.
*The Quiet Professor - Have always liked this one, although I wish Melanie was a friend instead of a sister! Jake was definitely a better catch than Oscar! (reprint coming out in June if anyone needs a new copy)
*An Old-Fashioned Girl - Love Patience, her tiny wardrobe, the snow. Also like The Awakened Heart (I call it the shoe book) though.
*A Valentine for Daisy - Love Daisy and her skirt made out of a curtain. Like how Daisy goes to work at the hospital. Like Maisie and the illness part of the plot. Love the mob scene and how Daisy was going to throw a bottle of Dettol to stop a mob!

Aaaaghh! I can't vote at all! What kind of Betty am I?
ReplyDeleteBetty AnoninTX, I did go to eBay but all the lots had at least one book that I already own. :(
When I first started buying book lots off eBay, I would end up with doubles too. Maybe you could exchange the extras with another Betty? I wish I would have kept my extra Betty books to pass on to people who needed those titles. I took them to my local Friends of the Library donation box for their annual sale.

DeleteHi Betty Lulu-- in regards to those duplicates in the e-bay lots, I agree with Betty AnoninTX. Don't let it stop you! Who knows? the duplicate copy maybe in better condition than the one you already have!
A Little Moonlight -- Mum the Martyr bothers me less than when the RSD intentionally or negligently lets the heroine think he's dating another woman.
ReplyDeleteRomantic Encounter -- I don't have much of a reason, I just like it. And I don't like Andre-the-Giant-Snake-in-the-grass
Sorry, was there a third match-up? Both books have the substance of those ultra-thin, virtually-transparent soba noodles in Japanese soup. I abstain.
An Old-Fashioned Girl, although both books have flaws and nice bits in nearly equal measure.
A Valentine for Daisy Here's the unfairness of not having a seeding system. I would happily vote for At Odds with Love over either of the Soba Noodle books, but that's not allowed. And A Valentine for Daisy beats At Odds with Love hands down.
