See, told you – dumb.  I had no idea of how many books she’d written on Regency England, about 60 I think, and I, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51626996">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I mentioned in an earlier blog post that These Old Shades would be the next Georgette Heyer novel I would read, but I bought Black Sheep recently and it looked quite short and a lively, fun read so I plunged in wholeheartedly.  As with most of Georgette Heyer Regency novels, there is witty dialogue ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43817132">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While similar in topic to Jane Austen’s stories of Regency England, Heyer’s writing in Black Sheep is lighter and faster paced, telling the story of Abigail (Abby) Wendover, a wealthy 28-year-old ‘spinster’ who is endeavouring to keep her innocent and romantic niece Fanny out of the clutches...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59695742">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'd never read a Georgette Heyer book but I kept hearing about them. Mostly about how great and well-researched they are but out of print, and how fans hoard them like treasure and reread them over and over again. I also kept hearing a comparison to Jane Austen since Heyer writes in the regency peri...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25262814">more...</a>]]></body>
