Entry tags:
why don't I tag my books better?
By chance I read two historical romances with dyslexic heroes close to each other ("It Takes Two to Tumble" by Cat Sebastian and "Lord Sebastian's Secret" by Jane Ashford in case your interested), which reminded me that I had actually read this trope in a historical romance before, i.e. a dyslexic hero is ashamed of his difficulties with reading, and him concealing those figures into the plot somehow.
But I just can't remember which book (maybe even several books?) it was. I tried googling and going trough Goodreads list, and had no success finding anything familiar again. I did find out that apparently Unveiled by Courtney Milan and Jackdaw by K.J. Charles both feature dyslexic heroes, but I have read neither.
It doesn't help that initially I only entered physical books I own into my Goodreads list, so I might have read some ebook, I didn't enter there to find again, and in my Calibre Library I have a ton of random ebooks that I haven't read, but just downloaded because Amazon offered them for free or maybe 99c at some point and they looked interesting enough to get for that.
And all of those aren't sufficiently tagged to find anything.
Argh.
Anyway, if you remember reading historicals with this trope, feel free to comment with them, maybe it will jostle some memory. Or at least I can pick up some recs. I rather like this trope.
