[595] Wed 31 Dec 2008, 07:07 - Anna Sarkissian - from: United States Hello All GH lovers! Just want to wish you all a very Happy New Year. I want to ask if anyone has read Spring Muslin, and if so is it good like all the rest of her books. Sally how can I thank you for having this wonderful website? You are the best!!!!!!!!! Regards Anna Rating:

[594] Tue 30 Dec 2008, 22:02 - SusieSue - from: United States I just finished "Lady of Quality". The story was great, I loved Annis' common sense and truly feel I could understand her unconventional way of thought in a society very intent on keeping her conventional. This is by far one of the BEST in terms of plot and tying in the aspects of romance. Rating:

[593] Tue 30 Dec 2008, 19:27 - Jane - from: Australia I've just finished An Infamous Army... I didn't much like it at first because it felt like Judith's character was being presented much less favourably, but by the end... wow. I'm blown away. Such detail in the battle of Waterloo, and it's really very moving... An amazing piece of writing, I think, all the more so as it's unusual amongst her more light-hearted romances. Rating:

[592] Fri 19 Dec 2008, 07:25 - Louisa - from: Australia Hello, I just finished reading The Convenient Marriage last night, and enjoyed it very much! I love all the characters, especially Lord Rule and Horatia. Horry is such a likeable character, especially in her first scene with Lord Rule. It is all very amusing, and I definitely recommend. It's joined the ranks of my favourites. Reading Powder and Patch at the moment, and liking that as well. It seems as if she has written it in a different style; more lighthearted, and easygoing. Louisa. Rating:

[591] Thu 18 Dec 2008, 11:47 - Simonetta - from: Italy Hello Jemima, I visited your blog-review, would like to comment that when I meet both intellectuals and snobs I am proud to promote GH because Heyer is a first class author. Regarding The Reluctant Widow, I find it a perfectly shaped mistery-romance-social-psychological novel. It is rich in its finesse, irony and characters’ feelings must be read between the lines. (I love Elinor, Carlyon, Becky, Francis Cheviot – all of them) Ciao and Warmest regards to the visitors of PumpRoom Rating:

[589] Sat 13 Dec 2008, 00:28 - Jane - from: Australia Vidal is amazing... I was just reading Devil's Cub again last night and I only wish that there were more scenes between Vidal and Mary! Georgette Heyer's humour never fails to leave me smiling. I just finished Arabella this morning, and I love Ulysses! And the way Robert talks to him is just so funny! Sorry, Louisa, I forget to mention in my last post - I haven't been able to find many of her books in shops either! :( Luckily my local libraries have quite a few, but otherwise I think ebay is the best way to go, as Gracie said.

[588] Thu 11 Dec 2008, 05:24 - Anjali Bhatia - from: India what should i write about GH books......they leave me breatheless with their limitless romance.Among other characters...many are favourites but my heart resides with vidal Rating:

[587] Wed 10 Dec 2008, 13:35 - penny - from: Cuba I love georgette heyer!! ithink they should make some movies, i think Jeremy Northam should be a leading man, like he would make an awesome Vidal or even Lord Rule. Rating:

[586] Wed 10 Dec 2008, 05:06 - Louisa - from: Australia Thank you, Gracie. I've been looking around, and I will hopefully find some. I have just read Devil's Cub, and enjoyed it immensely! I loved all the scenes with the old characters from These Old Shades. It was such a great book, and I loved Mary. Vidal was pretty amazing, too. So like his father. :) I'm going to read The Convenient Marriage next, so I hope it is good. Also, I can imagine Richard Armitage as Vidal. Someone seriously needs to make some GH movies. Louisa Rating:

[585] Wed 10 Dec 2008, 00:10 - Jane - from: Australia Audrey, I agree on Richard Armitage. ;) I can see him as Vidal in Devil's Cub... I haven't read any Dorothy L. Sayers, Angie (oh, and I agree completely about GH's beautiful phrasing), but my mother has heaps - they're next on my list once I finish GH. I just wish that there were more of her books - it'll be so sad when I've finished the last one! If only it were possible to wipe my memory so that I could read them all again for the first time. A favourite heroine? So hard to pick! For me Sophy will always be one of my favourites - the way she handles Charles and, in particular, Mr. Goldhanger always leaves me smiling. I also like Mary in Devil's Cub for her strength in the face of Vidal's anger, and of course Frederica for all the reasons you listed, Emma. (I have quite a soft spot for Jessamy, too.) Rating:

[584] Sun 7 Dec 2008, 23:38 - Gracie - from: Australia Louisa, there are heaps of Heyer bgooks, both romance and mystery on ebay for quite cheap, I was able to get a bundle of 8 good quality books for $30, unfortunately in Australia her books are very rarely stocked in cheap or secondhand bookshops, as it seems that she is not widely read in Aus. Rating:

[583] Sun 7 Dec 2008, 12:35 - Louisa - from: Australia Ahh, I forgot to put These Old Shades in my fave books. I love it!! I'd say that either Leonie (TOS) or Sophy is my favourite heroine. They're both awesome, and characters that you really care about. :) This is a bit random, but does anybody know where, in Australia, you can get some GH books cheap? I checked at a local second-hand bookstore, and they didn't have any. Then I went to a few bookstores, and they only had her mystery novels, none of her romances. It was depressing. Then I went to this other small bookshop a while ago, and they had her books, but for $25.00 each! I'm sure I can get them somewhere cheaper, just don't know where. Any suggestions? Thankyou!

[582] Tue 2 Dec 2008, 11:06 - Emma - from: United States Have enjoyed reading your posts of your favorite GH novels! Can we also discuss our favorite heroine, giving the reasons why we like or admire her? My favorite is Frederica -- she's strong and intelligent, self-sacrificial and responsible, and (this is very important!) has a great sense of humor. I admire the way she has managed her siblings through many family crises, and her determination to stick to her principles even when this is a costly choice. I also like that she is a balanced character with clear flaws -- she's a "managing female" who is not beautiful. Would love to hear about YOUR favorite heroine! Rating:

[581] Tue 2 Dec 2008, 08:39 - Melody - from: South Africa Hey all My fav.3 GH books would be: 1. Sylvester 2. The Grand Sophy 3. The Corinthian ...but I also adore These Old Shades, The Convenient Marriage, The Toll-gate, The Unknown Ajax, Sprig Muslin, Footseps In the Dark, The Unfinished Mystery...sorry it's difficult to compile a rigid list as I would do the others an injustice if I didn't mention them. I'm so happy for such a website! I also don't know many GH readers. I've only been reading GH for about two years having been introduced to GH by my library teacher when I was 16. I absolutely treasure these in depth discussions on her books and characters and the suggestion for what books to read. It's lovely! bye mel Rating:
