Georgette Heyer

[shakatany]

Just finished re-reading These Old Shades for the umpteenth time. It's my favorite Georgette Heyer novel. She was an incredible writer of Georgian and Regency romances especially in her earlier days--only 19 when The Black Moth was published and only 24 when TOS came out. I wish some smart TV producer would get the rights to TBM, TOS and Devil's Cub and call the series "The Duke's Trilogy" or something. She was a very private person so I fear that the holdup may be her estate though The Reluctant Widow was made into a movie in 1951 and there was a German movie made of Arabella in 1959. For more on Georgette Heyer go here. To read "The Wages of Vice", a slashy sequel to These Old Shades go here.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'm going to try and get some reading done, come April, yes I know I'm planning far in advanced but, we're skipping town for the hubby's birthday and I think the mountains in the off season with nothing but us, food, cabletv and books sounds like a plan.

Glad to help. I do the same thing--storing up books to read on vacation. Have you read any of her works? What kind of books do you like? As an omniverous reader I may have other suggestions.
