Georgette Heyer Book Club

Posted by Alison under: Books .

The new film the Jane Austen Book Club got me thinking. How about a virtual one here? I know that there are Heyer fans out there, and I think she’s underrated in modern times.

I’ve never managed to chat to other fans before. Anyone want to join me? I thought that we could all read the same book, choice to be negotiated!

What a stupendous idea! Georgette Heyer is one of my all time favorites. Even now I read authors who were influenced heavily by her. Okay, so they get a little more into the, ummm, details but Georgette didn’t have to. If you get it started - I’ll be there, or rather, here in cyberspace. :cool:

Well, I’ve never read Georgette Heyer, but I’m always on the lookout for new literature to which I can be exposed. I’d love to participate. I already do book reviews on my blog, I’d love to join in a reading group.

Hmmm Mo has a blog talk radio show and he is talking about doing a book club, maybe i could talk him into picking a Georgette Heyer book.

Hi! This is a great idea! Georgette Heyer has been one of my favorite authors since I found one of her books at my grandmother’s house when I was in high school. I would love to join you in a Heyer book club/blog.

I have adored Georgette Heyer for over 25 years and think I have most of them, except for a couple of hardbacks from years before, however I have a reservation on ebay for them! I’m up for a book club, any excuse to read her books. :lol:
