[415] Tue 11 Dec 2007, 13:27 - Anna - from: United Kingdom Wow, it's been so long since I've visited the site, the guestbook is now huge! Kathleen, have you read An Infamous Army? It features some characters from Regency Buck and also Mary and Dominic in later life. Rating:

[414] Tue 4 Dec 2007, 11:16 - Marie - from: Australia Have just "almost" finished The Unknown Ajax and find that the last page or two is missing. Any suggestions on how to finish the story? I have been reading Georgette Heyer since I was 10 (around 1974) and still love reading and rereading them. I used to borrow them but have of late tried to find copies I can own. Rating:

[413] Mon 3 Dec 2007, 15:16 - Kathleen - from: New Zealand I love Georgette Heyer! I have gobbled up all the books of hers that I can get my hads on! Is there any series in her collection. I know that 'Devils cub' comes after 'These Old Shades', but is there any more? I love Mary and Dominic and Leonie and I can't give them up! Rating:

[412] Tue 20 Nov 2007, 03:57 - Kylie - from: Australia I picked up my first Georgette Heyer book (Faro's Daughter) only a few weeks ago from the local library. Since then I have been back to the library and have read three more books since. I absolutely love the wit in the books and enjoy the fantastic story telling. I am well and truly hooked!! Rating:

[411] Mon 12 Nov 2007, 21:44 - Fiona - from: Canada Glad to have found this site. I've been a fan of GH for over thirty years. I have a very battered complete collection of the Pan editions from the 70s. I was considering updating to the Arrow reissues, as I like their cover art, but I'm not too impressed with how their older books hold out as compared to Pan. I have a few old Barbara Cartland novels done by Arrow, and most of them are shedding pages or covers. I think These Old Shades is probably my favourite, but there's a number of others that come pretty close. Rating:

[410] Sun 11 Nov 2007, 01:46 - Tom Holloway - from: India Greetings from Hyderabad. I arrived in Regency England quite late in the day. I was inspecting the copiously-filled bookshelves of my friend Sikha Ghosh and observed an impressive row of faded paper-backs - knowing that I have a somewhat romantic disposition she suggested I try them. Having discovered in the last few months that they are not quite as Mills-and-Boonish as they appear I'm now a totally committed GH fan - my favourite so far being "A Civil Contract". May I ask, through this forum,if there are any members of the University of the Third Age out there? Rating:

[409] Fri 9 Nov 2007, 17:06 - Christopher - from: United States I have been reading Georgette Heyer for years, discovering her books in our library. Now I read nothing but Regency Romance novels. I am using this website as a check-list as I re-read her novels. The best one? I like both The Toll-Gate and The Nonesuch. Rating:

[408] Fri 26 Oct 2007, 04:32 - kym - from: United States I love them so much I have traded in my paperbacks for first editions. Unfortunately I love them so much I am not treating them as first editions! Talk about decadent! Rating:

[407] Thu 25 Oct 2007, 00:59 - Jennifer - from: United States I have been a fan since I was 12. My first Georgette Heyer was The Masqueraders. I was an avid reader, and my mom gave it to me to prevent my reading less appropriate titles. Now, I'm 35, and just before my last baby was born, I read every single book of hers that I own (35). I am so glad that her books are being published again. Not every library has a good selection. I am slowly obtaining them all. I love the Arrow Books covers. Very nice, and showing the classy kind of books they are, rather than grouping them with average romance novels. Thank you for an excellent website. Rating:

[406] Mon 22 Oct 2007, 14:27 - Melika Lux - from: United States Greetings!!! This is an awesome site and the one that really got me hooked on Georgie's books. Incidentally, I fell in love with the UK Arrow editions and went hunting all over the place for a web site that I could order them from (I'm in FLA) without having to pay astronomical shipping rates. Well, I found it! The bookdepository.co.uk has all the Arrow reissues of the historical novels/romances and the mysteries for around $10-$11 a piece...plus they don't charge a dime for shipping! And the delivery is awesome, taking about 7-9 days. Thanks! :D Melika Rating:

[405] Sat 20 Oct 2007, 15:36 - Sarah Riley - from: United States Hi Sally, hi GH Fans! My name is Sarah and I just wanted to let all of you know that Sourcebooks (full disclosure - I work for them) is currently republishing many of GH's best books. This fall we're releasing An Infamous Army and Cotillion, and next spring we'll be launching Royal Escape, Friday's Child, False Colours, Lady of Quality, Black Sheep and Spanish Bride. For those of you NOT in the US, I know it's a bit easier to find GH's wonderful books, but for those of us State-side, I just wanted to give you the heads-up...Georgette Heyer returns! If anyone has any questions or comments for me, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email - sarah.riley@sourcebooks.com. Thanks so much for this wonderful site that's keeping the Heyer fever alive and thriving! Rating:

[404] Fri 19 Oct 2007, 22:22 - Lisa - from: United States Thanks for this great site- I especially appreciate the excerpts. I haven't read some of those titles in years and it was cool to be reminded of them and be inspired to track some of them down. The first Heyer book I read was "Cousin Kate"- it was next to Hesse's "Steppenwolf" in the library and I was supposed to read that for school assignment. That alphabetical serendipity led to my discovering one of the most enjoyable writers I have ever read! Rating:

[403] Tue 9 Oct 2007, 09:02 - Michelle - from: Australia Hi Manjiree The next book after Devil's Cub is An Infamous Army. Not an exact sequel, but it does mention Mary & Dominic, and the heroine is I think their grand-daughter. Before you read this, make sure you've read Regency Buck if you like to read in order.

[402] Fri 19 Oct 2007, 03:35 - ls - from: India I have loved Georgette Heyer since I was 13 or so. I am past 50 now, but still her books fascinate me. The modern day romantic fiction infringes into porno territory and is consequently boring for anyone past adolescence. Whereas, Georgette Heyer's are refreshing for any female from 13 to 83. Rating:

[401] Fri 19 Oct 2007, 02:27 - LJ - from: Canada I am so delighted to know that other people have discovered GH's books and enjoyed/enjoy them as much as I have. I cannot now recall whom it was who finally persuaded me to read " These Old Shades", in fact I have a vague memory of having to be bribed in order to do so! That was more than 30 years ago now and my battered copy of These OS is still re-read by me at least once a year. I was absolutely riveted and it was as far from the silly romance novels as it could be. Ms Heyer is right up there with my dear Jane Austen as far as I'm concerned.:) Rating:
