[669] Wed 13 May 2009, 21:46 - Charli - from: Australia I read Arabella a few months ago and was astounded that I could have missed such a great contribution to the literary world! I'm so glad I found them, and even more excited that my father has almost every single title in his bookshelves! Second-hand bookstores and Church fetes are really good if you want to find cheap copies. Thankyou very much for this lovely website! Rating:

[668] Wed 13 May 2009, 02:46 - Fathima Faizal - from: Sri Lanka Hi I am Fathima from Sri Lanka. Georgette Heyer's books are beyond comparison. I have read most of her books till the pages have fallen apart. My favourite - Black Moth, Friday's Child, Frederica, Regency Buck, These Old Shades......... I can go on and on. Those who have not read her books do not know what a lot they are missing. And to the others - HAPPY READING! Rating:

[667] Fri 8 May 2009, 16:44 - Angie - from: United States About 'Barbara Castle' Well, there were Vernon and Irene... Do you suppose they meant Barbara Cartland? I've seen so many howlers on book jackets that I would not be surprised. Often, neither the cover artist nor the blurb writer seems to have read the book, and with Georgette Heyer, they nearly always get the hero's title wrong. Rating:

[666] Fri 8 May 2009, 14:00 - Shelley - from: United States Thanks to Mary (and others!) for the great recommendations. I was able to find some used Catherine Fellows books online for fantastic prices - and loved them. Exactly what I was looking for. I found some Clare Darcy at the library and really enjoy those as well. So thank you, thank you! I look forward to reading Carla Kelly and Patricia Veryan as well. Question: The jacket of a C. Darcy book compares the book to the regency writings of "Miss Heyer and Barbara Castle". I can't find any info on a Barbara Castle regency author... only Barbara Castle the politician and a Patricia Castle, author. Any insight? Thanks again! Shelley Rating:

[665] Mon 20 Apr 2009, 13:04 - Nicole - from: United States I love Heyer's attention to detail and wit. Jo Beverley works to do similar research, but her novels are much more steamy. Carla Kelly is the writer I think most like Austen and Heyer in that she does research and writes character-driven stories. Rating:

[662] Fri 10 Apr 2009, 09:15 - Rosie - from: Australia just found your website (wow + thanks)...such a pleasure to find other people interested in the gentle world of GH's Regency books. i have all of them, yellowed + falling apart from over-use. Fav. is These Old Shades, why has no-one ever made a movie of that book?! it's a winner. Justin's proposal to Leonie is a romantic classic. Rating:

[661] Wed 8 Apr 2009, 15:21 - Heather May - from: United States Another author I that's similar to Heyer is Patricia Veryan. She tends to use bit characters in one book as major characters in the next, so it's fun to watch characters you already know reappear and see how their lives progress. My favorite series is "The League of Jewelled Men," which is set in the Georgian era. August Falcon has got to be one of my favorite characters of all time. Rating:

[660] Thu 26 Mar 2009, 12:43 - Mary - from: United Kingdom Dear Shelley You might enjoy Catherine Fellows books "The Marriage Masque" and 'The Heywood Inheritance"- I don't think they are in print here anymore (my copies are quite old) but I have seen occasional copies on ebay from US. Her style is very like GH's, and not at all steamy! I'm glad I'm not alone in hating the Regency Buck braodcast. Rating:

[659] Mon 23 Mar 2009, 16:59 - Maeri - from: Canada Hi Shelley, A couple of months ago I was on this site asking the same question, and some people were kind enough to give me the names of some other authors who write in the regency genre. Claire Darcy, Sylvia Thorpe, Marian Devon and Emily Hendrickson are the authors that were suggested to me. I have only read Claire Darcy's novels, and I would recommend them to you if you don't want steamy scenes. They aren't bad, quite light, and you do laugh out loud in some places. Personally I feel that she was practically copying Heyer's style, but anyway. I haven't read any of the others yet so I can't give you my verdict on them. Happy Reading! Rating:

[657] Mon 23 Mar 2009, 12:51 - Shelley - from: United States Over the past year or so I have been reading (and LOVING) Georgette Heyer's novels... trying to pace myself. Sadly, I have one book left - I knew this day would come. I have been looking for another author that writes novels simlar to Austen or Heyer - great dialogue, regency romance. I checked the Regency Reading link and other sites for suggestions but, while you shouldn't "judge a book by it's cover", based on the bookscover and descriptions, they were a little more steamy than I am looking for. Can anyone recommend an author with a similar tenor to Austen and Heyer. Thanks! Rating:

[656] Sat 21 Mar 2009, 18:28 - Shilpa Shankar - from: Australia Hi Kristy, Thanks a bunch. Actually, I'm doing a research study about "out of print" novels in Australia. I have never seen a Heyer novel in a book store. Only in libraries or second hand book stores. I just wanted to double check. Is there anyother forum where I can check? Any other novels of Heyer that are out of print in Australia (in particular)? Thanks a bunch!! Rating:
