Not only because I adored The Earl's Dilemma, but The Grand Sophy and Faro's Daughter are my two favourite Georgette Heyer's (though I think I'd put Cotillion third) and I'm sure that means something very significant :-) Love the sound of your next book too!Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-90978309713006356102010-10-21T14:41:14.797+11:002010-10-21T14:41:14.797+11:00So great to see everyone dropping by.

This morning, I took off for what was mean to be a short break and I picked up The Unmasking of a Lady! Guess what? Couldn't put the damned thing down! Just finished it. What an absolutely gorgeous story! Love it!

That particular book is heavy on the military details and pretty light on the romance!<br /><br />And yes, you're quite right, Sharon -- Labour Weekend, this weekend. I'm off over the hill to puppy-sit for someone. I hope the pup doesn't chew my manuscript to pieces -- I'll have to be careful where I put it!<br /><br />P.S.

What a heritage she's left for other writers. <br />The Grand Sophy is my alltime favourite although Frederica is a close second...and whenever I have a fit of the sullens ..as Essie Summers would say...I go to my bookcase and select a Heyer to read.<br /><br />I must get your books...I love Regency.Shirley Winenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-8233251748805785622010-10-21T11:31:57.853+11:002010-10-21T11:31:57.853+11:00Enjoy your long weekend - searching into the dim r...Enjoy your long weekend - searching into the dim recesses of my memory banks and coming up with Labour Day??

I've not long finished The Earl's Dilemma and that was a gorgeous read too so I can't wait to get to this new book!<br /><br />How interesting about a Georgette Heyer novel being part of the reading syllabus at Sandhurst in days gone by! Now I'm very intrigued and my TBR pile is going get larger! I haven't read a lot of her - and none of the one's you've listed so I must track her down. I've read and enjoyed some of her 20th-century murder mysteries.<br /><br />Hey, I love your covers, BTW!<br /><br />:)<br />SharonSharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-18302895102910238112010-10-21T10:53:25.653+11:002010-10-21T10:53:25.653+11:00I can't wait to read Beauty And The Scarred He...I can't wait to read Beauty And The Scarred Hero (and The Unmasking of A Lady in December)!
