Journal Entry 1 by Genevalove from Lexington, Kentucky USA on Wednesday, June 16, 2004
By a strange coincidence, I found this book on the book exchange shelf at my building right after someone gave me another book in the trilogy at our meet-up the other day. The number two book was there as well. I'm in the mood for some fluff, so I may just read this series before releasing them.

Journal Entry 2 by Genevalove from Lexington, Kentucky USA on Sunday, June 20, 2004
First, a disclaimer: I'm not normally a romance novel reader. OK, there is my obsession with the Eve Dallas books by J.D. Robb (better known as Nora Roberts), but other than that, I avoid romance. In this case, however, it seemed like serendipity at work; first, someone brought the third book in this series, The Wedding Game, to our Shanghai BookCrossers meet-up. I offered to release it on the book exchange shelf here at my building, since no one else wanted it. But when I checked out the book exchange shelf, I discovered--the other two books in the trilogy! It seemed like fate, so I thought I'd try reading them.

The trilogy revolves around the Duncan sisters, Constance, Prudence, and Charity, who live in turn of the century London. Their father, Lord Duncan, has been in denial about the unpleasant realities of their financial situation since the untimely death of their mother a few years before. Now the sisters are secretly putting out a newspaper called The Mayfair Lady to make ends meet. The controversial paper and later, the match-making service it advertises, lead the sisters to find love of their own (one romance per book).

This book, The Bachelor Hunt, introduces the sisters and tells the story of Constance, a vocal advocate of women's rights, and what happens when she meets Max Ensor, an MP who doesn't believe women should have the vote.

Although I'm sure these books are full of anachronisms, it's hard to care when their so fun to read. I was in the mood for some well-written fluff, and this fit the bill exactly. This trilogy will go to my mom next, if she hasn't read them already.
