Seeking Philbert Woodbead (Fairweather Sisters, book 2)
by Anya Wylde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Seeking Philbert Woodbead is the second in the Fairweather Sisters series by +Anya Wylde . This book follows up a few months, give or take after the end of the first book, Penelope. Now, although this is a series, you could actually read this book without reading Penelope and still enjoy the book, but it is just more fun if you have read the first book before you start, but if you find yourself needing to start with this book, by all means do. It is a delight.
Celine Fairweather jumps at the chance to leave home and run to London to help her not that long ago married sister Penelope, who is now confined to her home, all because she had the misfortune of getting pregnant in a time when they had no idea what was going on! The book is hilarious. Celine is reading the "Proper English Ladies" book, and trying to be one, and Penelope could care less what society thinks, and the adventures and madcap fun just continues.
I loved the first book, which saw Penelope descend on London to try to find a husband. Now we see her sister descend on London, and although she tries to be more proper than Penelope did, she bungles it just as much if not more. It is zany and funny and every bit as much fun to read, in fact I sat down to read the book, and just had to finish the whole thing!
I love this author's style of writing. It is fun and light and just leaves you feeling happy, especially with everything going on in the world these days, it is so nice to escape into a light-hearted book and laugh and enjoy myself. It was such a good read.
As there are a number of Fairweather girls still at home, I hope this means that we can count on the author to bring us a number of more Fairweather sister books! I'm already looking for the next one!

Penelope (Fairweather Sisters, book 1)
by Anya Wylde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Upon noticing my reads and reviews on Goodreads, I was contacted by the author, +Anya Wylde wanting to know if I would be interested in reading and reviewing this book. Of course I was! I love reading and reviewing, and I am always honest in my reviews, no matter what.
Yesterday, I sat down with my Kindle App and read this book. Yes, I read it in one day! It was so funny and inviting that it had me bouncing along through the book, and I was done before I knew it. I went from laughing to crying to laughing again, and then the character was so relatable! I feel like I would be her if I was planted in that time period.
Penelope is a country girl, but her mother was good friends with the now Dowager Duchess and she has been invited for a season in London, but Penelope knows none of the finer points of the "social graces" of being in London, what to talk about or not talk about and such, and when she gets nervous she tends to ramble. Thus begins the tumbles and bumbles and trips and falls, and ultimate triumphs of her season in London.
The book is well written and keeps you interested, not too serious, not too light-hearted, but enough that you enough it and you keep reading and before you know you are done! I love it! I am so glad that I got the chance to read this one, and believe me, I will be going back to find more from this author.

Dorothy (Fairweather Sisters, book 3)
by Anya Wylde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dorothy is yet another of the Fairweather sisters. She is in London enjoying another season thanks to her older sisters, Penelope and Celine. Penelope's story was book one and Celine was book two, now we get to follow up with yet another sister.
If you have read books one and/or two you already know that the Fairweather sisters have a few problems with adhering to societies rules and expectations, so you know that this sister is just the same and even moreso.
Dorothy thinks she has found the man she loves, and wants her sister's help in getting him to propose to her, only to have her best friend Kitty, who Dorothy thought was in love with her brother-in-law's next door estate neighbor and sworn enemy, elope with Dorothy's object of affection. Dorothy doesn't know that Kitty has eloped, and so she braves the enemies house to try to find her friend, only to find herself in a situation that necessitates marriage.
Dorothy is some much like Penelope and Celine, she's always rescuing orphans, but she is forthright and outspoken. Which tends to get her in trouble more often than not.
This is yet another wonderful book by the author, that delights and keeps you reading, while being funny and comical, there is still the romance that will have you tearing up at points. +Anya Wylde is a master at weaving humor and romance, and making the stuffy regency era fun and delightful.
If you haven't read her yet, start with Penelope, then Seeking Philbert Woodbeard and continue with Dorothy. You won't regret it!
