Sadly (or happily depending on whether you talk to me or to Jim), Banner has been bitten by the Georgette Heyer bug. She came to me last week for a fun book, I of course recommended a Georgette. Faro's Daughter to be exact. She devoured it in a day and a half (if attendance at school hadn't been required, it would have taken less time) and has now moved on to Arabella. Whatever room I go into today, it is there, in the hands of an enthralled teenager. It reminds me of the good old days of reading Georgette Heyer's books for the first time. Well, I guess we know what Banner will be doing this summer.

That makes me happy in so many ways. Thinking of someone enjoying georgette heyer for the first time is a vicarious thrill. Then think of all the laughs you can share with her.
Oh how I wish I were discovering Georgette for the first time. What a wonderful summer she will have. I still remember The holidays of my sophomore year in high school, I read GH for the first time, and after that I was hooked. Have a great time Banner and may I recommend my personal favorites Regency Buck and Sylvester.
Oh Banner, what fun awaits you. The vicarious thrill is there for me too. I see that your copy of Arabella is well loved. I like a book that opens easily. You can read that delicious writing even faster.
My first experience with Georgette was much later than Banner's but it was just as obsessive. I remember reading quite a few of them so fast that I don't know that I could remember the plots, so I guess I could read them again and it would be like the first time. I love them too but I suggest she read The Grand Sophie, as it is my favorite. :)
