Happy New Year (almost!). We wanted to take today’s post to celebrate all the amazing fun we have had with Regency Readers this year by sharing this year’s top 10 posts. Some of these are evergreen content (and posted in year’s past) but nonetheless still popular!
- Readers are wild about our primer on conveyances of the Regency (and we understand why, it can be confusing). We also heard from many of you recently you want more on travel and coaching, so expect that in 2022. Your love for the open Regency road is also why we created the excel early 19th Century coaching database!
- After my own heart, our readers also return to our giant list of funny Regency romances. We are continuing to note funny Regencies using the “Funny Regencies” category and tagging it as funny, but look out for a new list in 2022.
- Y’all must be planning to do some historic cussing, because our post on Regency swear words remains a top post. We included these and more in our Regency Cant excel database.
- There are some creative folks out in the interwebs who want to bring back The Cut, and so that post continues to get a lot of traffic.
- Who doesn’t love a good top 10 list about a favorite trope? This year’s favorite top 10 trope list was about Marriage of Convenience Regencies.
- We have many curious Regency Readers who want to understand the deal with early 19th century bathrooms. Our withdrawing rooms post had thousands of new views this year.
- Readers are looking for Regencies where the heroine masquerades as a man, so this top 30 list was a buzz this year. We would love to hear in the comments below the other types of tropes you would like listicles, tags, and categories for!
- Similar to number 6, we had a lot of folks wanting to understand bodily functions…you know, the “go”. We answered with some tidbits on how Regency women went number one in this post.
- Its raining Regency men…or at least readers were curious to learn the difference between a dandy and bond street beaux in this breakdown post.
- In 2019, we kicked off a new category trying to bust some myths about the Regency era, and this post on multiracial people in the 19th century continues to reach readers (and hopefully contribute to a deeper understanding of the real Regency).
I am so tickled to see so many Regency Reader Question posts continue to be popular, as they are one of our absolute favorite to research and share. You can pose your questions to us using this Reader ? function.
We also love hearing your thoughts, suggestions, and more in the comments or on social media, so please keep sharing. If you have ideas of new categories, tags, content, or more you would like to see in 2022, let us know.
And thank you for being a Regency Reader!
