Discussion Questions: An Improbable Season by Rosalyn Eves


An Improbable Season by Rosalyn Eves

Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An absolutely charming story about three cousins who go to London for the season! Thalia is a poet. Charis is a naturalist. And Kalli hopes to find love and fun at the parties. Nothing goes to plan, but the young ladies learn who they are and discover love. I adored every word! A must read for Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer fans.


An Improbably Season by Rosalyn Eves

Discussion Questions

1.    In what ways is the character’s season “Improbable”?

2.    After Kalli is accidentally “compromised” should she accept the marriage proposal? Is her decision based on her own wishes or the good of the family?

3.    Why do you think Thalia ignores Adam’s advice about Mr. James Darby? How is James like the other romantic poets of the day: Percy Shelley and Lord Byron?

4.    How is Charis and Mr. Leveson’s romance like Pride and Prejudice? Which character do you think represents Pride and which one Prejudice?

5.    Which sister should apologize and why? Kalli or Thalia?

6.    Kalli says, “Just because I don’t want to be a published author like you or scientist like Charis—just because I don’t need everyone in the world to know my name—doesn’t mean what I want doesn’t matter.” Do you agree?

7.    Should Charis have warned L.M. about her rebuttal essay to the publisher? Charis says, “I thought you valued the give-and-take of ideas.” Do you agree with her opinion of the world of science?

8.    Was Kalli right to end the engagement by letter? Why does she not reveal her true feelings?

9.    How does Thalia rescue herself?

10. Did any of the matches surprise you? Which couple was your favorite? How do you think they will write their “next chapter”?

Review: A Golden Fury by Samantha Cohoe

  A GOLDEN FURY by Samantha Cohoe Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A perfect read like for fans of Addie Thorley’s AN AFFAIR OF POISONS. Thea and her mother are alchemists, but just before they’ve completed the philosopher’s stone her mother locked her out of their lab and went mad. Thea is sent back to England to a father who doesn’t know she exists and only her notes and her letters from Will. Both her father and Will want her knowledge, but who can she trust? And is the stone cursed? Thea is a passionate and intelligent heroine that is sure to appeal to modern readers. She is naive at times, but her heart is always in the right place. The setting is as explosive as the alchemy; beginning in Revolutionary France and then to England on the brink of war. I loved the references to Mary Wollstonecraft’s VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN. There’s a strong feminist streak that I adored.

Book Review: Queen Bee by Amalie Howard

Queen Bee by Amalie Howard *Can you find the 5 bees that I added to the graphic?  Amalie Howard has created a delightful mashup of Regency England and a modern high school romance. Her diverse cast is endearing and empowering. Their clothes might be so 1817, but their speech is very modern. One can’t help but root for Ela as she extracts her revenge on the mean girl, “Queen Bee.” Set in the 1810s, the stakes are much higher. Lady Ela loses everything because of Poppy’s lies. Her good name/title. Her home. Her father. She comes to London under a new name and means to make everyone who betrayed her pay—Machiavellian style. Including the marquess who broke her heart. Themes of accountability and forgiveness and weaves seamlessly through the story. This charming historical romcom is the perfect Bridgerton for teens (and adults)!
