They are putting "modern" cover art on older titles now
If you like Bridgerton then you like this...
Bridgerton* (TV or Book) sounds terrible, but I do read real Regency era books as well as ones by Heyer & Aiken**. And the publishers change the covers to cropped photos with a Bridgerton sticker. Ugh. At least with Calibre you can find the older covers.
[** Maybe some of Aiken's are better than Heyer (avoids heavy use of Cant), though Heyer practically invented the modern genre of it. Maybe some of Heyer's detective novels are better than her Georgian & Regency ones?]
[*Or whatever the spelling is]
