Latter-day Saint Fiction: Regencies–Sort Of
Strictly speaking the Regency Period in English history was between 1811 and 1820, but Regency authors tend to include stories that transpire during almost any part of the nineteenth century. Two books that fall loosely into the Regency period are Brass Carriages and Glass Hearts by Nancy Campbell Allen and A Foreign Crown by Jen Geigle Johnson.
The Best Fiction for Summer
These summer days are some of the best times to wrap yourself inside a great book. The following books include several genres and should grab your nine-year-old and older and keep him/her interested to the end and likely excited to read!
Latter-day Saint Fiction: Not Your Typical Regency Romance

The Heiress of All Things Beautiful by Anita Stansfield reveals a darker side of the Regency era that continues in our day. Esther Hatch in A Proper Charade introduces a lovely young bombshell heroine who sets out to prove she's as capable as her brother.
