Ooh. Okay, my favorite top two:

The Grand Sophy
Cotillion

Awesome
Frederica
The Reluctant Widow (hilarity)
Venetia
Sylvester or The Wicked Uncle

Also Awesome
The Nonesuch
Bath Tangle
Arabella

Okay, my review on These Old Shades and Teh Devil's Cub is here. Her style is very, very different in different books. Very. I love them all, but man, they are different. She's very good about not writing the same story with teh same characters over and over again.

the special is sponsored by the publisher and is across a bunch of platforms - B&N and OmniLit have them in different formats, for those with other readers. like you I'm carefully not considering the total I spent; though I know I'll definitely enjoy the chance to reread some long-time faves. I was bummed that The Unknown Ajax wasn't available, cause that's one I totally want to reread.

Added links to both!

Seriously. I am so glad I am not into the mysteries right now or...dear God.

well, if you think you'd be interested in the future, now would be the time to get them!
/end subtle encouragement

if/when you want to check them out, my absolute fave is Behold, Here's Poison, closely followed by Death in the Stocks.

Oh, it's all week? So I really do need to be grabbing these up now while it's cheap? Well, the good news is that I actually only had about six included titles left that I hadn't purchased either well before the sale or during yesterday's buying frenzy. (And I need to keep reminding myself that I saved $6-8 on every one I snagged in the sale, since I would have eventually purchased every one of them... I just blew more than $50 on books -- which isn't even that bad, given what I used to spend at a time on paperbacks! -- but I saved at least $168 in the long run.)
