erilynQuick 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 :)

Date: 2004-09-22 09:53 am (UTC)I can't remember a time before I'd read them all over and over (they were originally my mums) My all time favourite has always been These Old Shades, closely followed by Frederica. Other faves are Arabella, The Grand Sophy and Sylvester (when he's so upset dancing with her and makes her cry and subsequent apology *melt*) The Corinthian, Powder and Patch....OOOH Simon the Coldheart!!! I loved that TO DEATH...aargh Beauvallet, where he follows her into Spain...
Least? I could never finish Lord John, so that one obviously. Maybe also The Spanish Bride - even as a child I couldn't get past the bride's age. So he dotes on her? so do paed.... nevermind.
Now I have to go reread all the detective ones, you realise. Have just got down Envious Casca...
(in case you're vaguely curious about this complete stranger who's dropped by, we met at Highlander con and danced together, I saw the photos recently and thought of you and then when you posted about Sinpozium I came on over for a looksee)
So...hi *waves*

I don't think I've ever finished Lord John either, and I don't like The Black Moth. I like Sylvester...except for the girl, she just irritates me. And you've made me want to re-read Beauvallet, it's been too long.
