[747] Sun 15 Nov 2009, 15:52 - Ann - from: United Kingdom I put my thoughts on the course on the Big Readers site which I often visit. http://bigreaders.myfastforum.org/about820.html&highlight= Rating:

[746] Sun 15 Nov 2009, 07:54 - Pam Stevenson - from: United Kingdom Hi Sally, it was great meeting you last w/e in Cambridge. You encouraged me to write in with details of my Heyer items for sale so, briefly: I have a number of Georgette's handwritten letters from the 60s and 70s, not yet on my website. I specialise in Georgette Heyer books and always try to offer on my site a selection of first editions and other hardbacks as well as cheaper editions. I welcome enquiries from everyone. www.borisbooks.co.uk Rating:

[745] Fri 13 Nov 2009, 13:37 - Fredrica Fan - from: Canada I absolutly love this site I also adore Heyer, but I foud one issue in this heyers paradise the figurines really does not look like the characters heyer brilliantly described. I guess nobody could truly. Rating:

[744] Fri 13 Nov 2009, 00:20 - AprilFool - from: Canada To Diana W. I also rate A Civil Contract as possibly my favourite - have just reread it. I would also love to see BBC adaptations (or movies) of GH novels. I think I would start with Frederica - it is falling off your chair funny and has a balloon ascent, endangered child, Baluchistan Hound, and a love story! What more could you ask for? Rating:

[743] Sun 8 Nov 2009, 13:54 - Sally - from: Not Specified So sorry I missed you, Ann. I thought I was running late and got quite flustered. But had a wonderful time -- so many Heyer-o-philes -- including new ones! I sat next to two young lasses at lunch who've only recently started reading Heyer. How I envy them the enjoyment of knowing that there are un-read ones still to be enjoyed! And for all those doubting -- there were at least 4 men there amongst the other ~76 women I'll be trying to write something up -- either that or posting a link (or both?!) to Laura's site with her notes (she presented one of the talks and made copious notes on t'others). I'll send an update to the updates alias as soon as I've got something up on the site. Best regards, Sally. Rating:

[742] Sun 8 Nov 2009, 11:23 - Ann - from: United Kingdom I really enjoyed the conferance though, although I did put a bit of thread round my handbag, no one approached me! I'll post a brief review later. Rating:

[741] Thu 5 Nov 2009, 17:09 - cjcvo - from: United Kingdom Anyone discovered iTunes Heyer unabridged Audio Books yet?? They are brilliant and I highly recommend them. Just finished listening to Devil's Cub read by Michael Drew - wonderfully done. Also have Frederica, Bath Tangle and Regency Buck. For the person who mentioned North and South - it's a "classic" by Elizabeth Gaskell (Cranford) which was serialised as a costume drama by the BBC and is a VERY romantic story set at the time of the Industrial Revolution in the mid 1800's. Nothing to do with Heyer but nevertheless a great book. Rating:

[740] Wed 4 Nov 2009, 17:07 - Bex Lewis - from: United Kingdom Very much looking forward to seeing you at the conference on Saturday (http://www.lucy-cav.cam.ac.uk/pages/news-events/re-reading-georgette- heyer.php)- intermittently checking in/out of your website for years (http://www.bex-lewis.co.uk/interests/books/GeorgetteHeyer.htm), and thought about putting on a GH conference about 5 years ago, got as far as contacting Jay Dixon, then job situation all went wrong - c'est la vie! Just had a panic that wasn't on the list for the conference, but have had it confirmed! Phew! This was one event NOT to miss! Rating:

[739] Mon 2 Nov 2009, 15:00 - Fanny Scarlet - from: Hungary Just curious, who is the user la countess of monte cristo. Love the book sooo curios Rating:

[738] Mon 2 Nov 2009, 14:41 - Fanny Scarlet - from: Hungary I got a couple of recomendations from a fried, and wanna know Whats the Winslow Boy about? And is there really a movie called North & South (Heyer Related??) Thanx Rating:

[737] Mon 2 Nov 2009, 09:36 - Anna Sarkissian - from: United States Hi Sally! If I lived in United Kigdom I would have been there for sure. Just keep me posted how the conference goes either by emailing me or posting your comments here (pump room) I wish you meet people who are influencial enough to consider making movies out of GH's books. My email address is asarkissian1960@yahoo.com Regards, Anna Rating:

[736] Mon 2 Nov 2009, 02:09 - Sally - from: United Kingdom Hi Anna, as Ann said, the conference is on this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it and will be interested to who else is interested in Heyer. Hi Chitra, if there's any chance at the conference, perhaps I, or others, can find out who we would influence at the BBC. It would give them so many more novels to turn into short films or movies! Cheers, Sally Rating:
