[550] Tue 11 Nov 2008, 08:19 - Melody - from: South Africa Hey Louisa I've only read Sprig Muslin out of the 5 books you've listed so I am genuinely biased in saying you should read it next. How's your reading of "The Unknown Ajax" going?You'll fall in love with Hugo soon...you'll see why. Bye -Mel- Rating:

[549] Mon 10 Nov 2008, 09:51 - Simonetta - from: Italy Buongiorno to everybody. I'm grateful to this site's creator, G.Heyer is really worth to be known. I'm a total fan of Heyer's novels since the 1st I read as a teen; and like many of u have read and re-read all of her novels. I've often regretted that critics did not value Heyer as much as she deserves, for her wit, her perfect prose, her historical competence. My favourites: THESE OLD SHADES (absolutely a jewel), RELUCTANT WIDOW, CONVENIENT MARRIAGE, DEVIL'S CUB, VENETIA. Ciao Rating:

[548] Sun 9 Nov 2008, 03:54 - Louisa - from: Australia Hi! Thankyou Kirsty. I'll read The Foundling next! I'm going to keep plowing on through The Unknown Ajax until I reach the last 100 pages, then I'm sure I'll be pleased. :) Also, has anyone else noticed that she likes to give some of her male characters 'large girths'? Louisa. Rating:

[547] Sat 8 Nov 2008, 17:21 - kirsty - from: United Kingdom Hi Louisa, The best part of the unknown ajax is the last 100 pages or so as this is where the story comes together, out of those five i would recommend the foundling or the spanish bride to read next as they are both very good. I have found that charity shops are usually good places to find heyer novels. Kirsty Rating:

[546] Sat 8 Nov 2008, 02:31 - Louisa - from: Australia Hello Melody and Anna, I haven't read Devil's Cub yet, because I get my books from the library, and most of her books are usually already borrowed, so I can't borrow them. It's very sad. Soon, though, I'm going to the local second-hand bookshop, so I'll try and get some Georgette Heyer books from there. Hopefully, I will be able to. I am currently reading the Unknown Ajax, and finding it a bit slow, but I'm sure it'll get better. I've also got 5 other books on loan: The Foundling, A Civil Contract, Charity Girl, Sprig Muslin and The Spanish Bride. Which one is your favourite out of the 5, so I can know which one to read next? Sincerely, Louisa. Rating:

[545] Wed 5 Nov 2008, 06:05 - Melody - from: South Africa Hey Anna Thanks for the thumbs up. I cannot wait to read it now! Bye Melody Rating:

[544] Tue 4 Nov 2008, 13:30 - Anna Sarkissian - from: United States Hi Melody! Devil's Cub is a great book to read! I loved it and have read it twice since I bought it when it first came out this year.Go ahead and read it you will love it. Anna Rating:

[543] Tue 4 Nov 2008, 11:22 - Melody - from: South Africa Hey Louisa Thanks for responding. I've read The Corinthian and found Pen really entertaining. She is vey funny. I love Richard too. Don't you just enjoy the way Georgette adds life to her characters. It's like I know them personally , as if they really exist phyically. Have you read Devil's Cub the sequel to These Old Shades? I haven't yet but plan to do soon? Bye... Mel Rating:

[542] Sun 2 Nov 2008, 02:46 - Louisa - from: Australia Hello Melody I read These Old Shades a week or so ago, and I absolutely loved it as well! It was such a great book, and made me love Georgette's writing even more. All the books I've read of hers have been amazing. I am currently reading The Corinthian, and am enjoying it hugely. :) See ya, Louisa. Rating:

[541] Thu 30 Oct 2008, 15:06 - Melody Phuza - from: South Africa Hi all, just recently read "These Old shades" and found the book totally absorbing! Especially the twist of Leonie.How have you found the book? Rating:

[540] Tue 21 Oct 2008, 15:44 - Anna Sarkissian - from: United States Hi Kirsty! Thanks for getting back to me. I guess you are right a book is always different than a movie. But all the same I would like very much to see 'An Infamous Army' as a movie for example! It will be famous I bet if is produced, directed and played with the right people. Regards, Anna Rating:

[539] Sat 18 Oct 2008, 09:46 - kirsty huggett - from: United Kingdom Hi Anna i do think that movies of her books would be great and accessible to men and women however, i no that i personally am the type of person who greatly dislikes hollywood and other movie makers changing books and it would run the risk of destroying the books i believe that the film of the reluctant widow was seen by georgette heyer and she disliked it so much she walked out Rating:

[538] Fri 17 Oct 2008, 10:24 - Anna Sarkissian - from: United States Hi All! It frustrates me to see her books on the romance section of bookshops instead of the literary seciton. I just cannot understand why they don't make movies or TV serios out of her books. An Infamous Army would be a great movie which even men would watch. Don't you all agree? Anna Rating:

[537] Fri 17 Oct 2008, 08:13 - Ann G - from: United Kingdom It's wonderful to find this site! I'm a lifelong Heyer fan and I must have gone through three copies of each book - as they fall apart after many readings! I was a late-comer to the detective novel series, but I'm now a dedicated fan. The only Heyer's I've not read are the Short Stories and Modern Romances and The Great Roxhythe - that's soon to change as I was given a copy for my birthday. It's come from the US, as it's been out of publication for years, but I'm saving it (in its plastic cover) until I go on holiday in a couple of weeks - such restraint! Rating:

[536] Thu 16 Oct 2008, 07:03 - Rach - from: Australia My mother imbued in me a deep, abiding love of Georgette Heyer's Romances. I did not find out for many years that there were mysteries as well. I could not tell you all how many times I have read each of her novels. I have just finished "The Reluctant Widow" and am now about to launch back into "Fredrica". Finally I have found a place where people will know what I mean when I say words like "Faradiddles" and "Peagoose". Thankyou. Rach Rating:
