    I love Georgette Heyer - romance with wit, style, historical accuracy, and zippy dialogue! Her mysteries have the same virtues, so are worth reading.

    Hey there,

    Great lens on one of my favourite authors. I just adore Heyer and your lens has such a great collection of everything Heyer related.
    Great work.

    I'm a huge fan of Georgette Heyer's and keep all her books in my home library to reread whenever I'm craving one. My sister loves her too.

    I've just started reading her books. My Mom used to devour Regency Romances, and has a huge collection. I've enjoyed them thoroughly so far. Thank you for sharing so much wonderful information here, I had no idea about most of it!

    Thank you for the introduction to Georgette Heyer. I don't think I've ever heard of her before.

    I was not familiar with Georgette Heyer -- and haven't read a good romance novel in eons!

    Hi I just dropped by to wish you a belated Happy Birthday and decided to choose this great lens instead of the one you wished for. Apologies.

    You know, I've never read a romance novel. [gasp, horrors] Someday, if I do decide to read one, I'll know where to look, though! Great presentation!

    I also used to read Georgette Heyer when I was 16!..I wonder if teenage girls still do?

    I'd always assumed that "Heyer" was pronounced "Hay-Er", so it's interesting to find out that the lady herself pronounced it slightly differently by running the syllables together...very "upper class" :D

    An excellent lens - 5* and featured at the British Literature group :)

    I'm American - and Texan, if that helps you with my accent! - and always pronounced it "Higher" until I read her biography. Her grandparents immigrated to England from Russia, and the original pronunciation WAS "Higher" until her grandfather (or father?) changed it to "Hair" to sound "more English."

    My mother gave me Georgette Heyer to read when I was 16. I've never forgotten her books, beautifully written in Regency English. An excellent lens to celebrate an excellent writer and thank you for joining the Bookworms group.. P.S. I am wondering what kind of accent you have, in the sense of you making the point about the pronunciation of her name. Is there another way of pronouncing Heyer where you come from?

    Love Georgette Heyer!

    I used to read novels in this genre when I was a teen. Not sure if I read any Georgette Heyer. Then I went to college and spent the next four years reading non-fiction. I stayed in that habit for a while. It's only been since I stopped homeschooling that I started reading fiction again. So much out there to catch up on! Beautiful lens!
