Georgette Heyer

Quick poll - to those of my friends who have the excellent taste to be Georgette Heyer fans, which of her romances (as I haven't read the detective novels) are your favourites?

Mine would include Masqueraders, These Old Shades, Grand Sophy, Talisman Ring, Nonesuch, Cotillion, and The Corinthian. And it was hard to narrow it down to that many :)

I have about 4 Heyers here to read. Have been distracted, but I'll be taking notes so that I know what to look for. :-)

You wouldn't happen to have been lent them by luthien67? I seem to recall that she is a fellow Heyer devotee :)

Read them!!!

No, I've been picking them up in second hand bookshops. I couldn't even tell you what titles I've got at present. *L* Since I'm packing to move right now I don't have the energy to go hunting for them, either.

I have a long reading list at the moment as well. Since I got my pocket computer I have been busily downloading free eBooks off the net, and I have about 80 backed up to read. I'm concentrating on the Regency classics at the moment. They fit *very* comfortably into my Hornblower obsession. Funny that. ;-)

How goes the packing? As someone who has never moved in her entire life, it terrifies me *g*.

The majority of my limited knowledge of the Napleonic wars comes from Heyer books ;)

My knowledge is getting to the frightening stage. I can now pick anachronisms in other people's work. Scary, *very* scary. You should see the reference books I have on just the Royal Navy. ;-)

I haven't even started the packing yet. I'm taking pictures off walls, and moving things around so that I can get cleaning done. This place is too small to pack things away. I get the keys tomorrow, but don't officially move out of here until next Friday. That's when the furniture is being moved. I am moving the other stuff over during the week, a car load at a time. Fun stuff, but it does mean that I will be able to have some things set up ahead of time. That's more than you really needed to know, wasn't it? ;-)

No, I didn't lend her any, but I made her a list of the ones she should definitely read. Hmmn, I think that might have been the last time I attempted to list a Heyer top five!
