When I posted a few days ago about my most recent Georgette Heyer read, there was a little discussion about which books I had read and which were favorites. I generally don't like to read an author's work back to back, but lately I've been reading a lot of Georgette Heyer's books. When it comes to entertaining comfort reads, Georgette Heyer's books rank amongst my favorites. I fear my Heyer binge has not altogether come to an end. While I don't plan on starting another novel right away, I suspect I might be tempted to do so at some point later this summer. This is my pile of Heyer novels that I've already read, A Civil Contract and The Corinthian being my favorites so far (the two books standing up on the left). I've enjoyed the other novels as well, but those two stand out.
These are my unread Heyer novels--what I'll be choosing from eventually. The four on the left are mysteries and the rest are novels. At least a few of these have come up as favorites of other readers, which I am happy to hear. I've been trying to buy them as they are reissued here in the US, though I know I'm missing quite a few still. I believe she wrote something like fifty books. I wonder how long it will take me to get through them all. I like how the cover designs are all similar and the spines match. They'd look pretty snappy all lined up together on my bookshelves if only I had enough room for them...
So, which is your favorite Georgette Heyer book? Which should I make sure I read?
