[731] Tue 20 Oct 2009, 11:02 - chitra sundaram - from: United States	Hello: Can Sally and her team of fans suggest to BBC One that rather than re-hash Jane Austen novels for the upteenth time, they would be well served to do a series of adaptations for Wonderful Georgette Heyer. Why hasn't this happened? I can't find any way to contact SAndy Welch, but surely if we can manage Heyer conferences at OXCAM, then we can get to BBC One! Best Chitra

[730] Sun 18 Oct 2009, 12:22 - Diana W - from: United Kingdom	Is there anyone else who loves A Civil Contract as much as I do? Lydia, Mr Chawleigh, the Dowager ... such wonderful,comical characters! Every time I reread it (probably 20 plus times)I smile at them while being touched all over again by the delicate growth of Adam's regard for Jenny and her loving care for his comfort -the macaroons! I love this book. It will go with me to a desert island.Of course Cotillion, the Grand Sophy, Sylvester and Frederica run it very close and even overtake it in terms of sheer exuberance and hilarity but sometimes less is more. Come on, there must be some of you who wait for Adam to realise that Jenny is exactly the right wife for him as impatiently as I do. Can I recommend a wonderful read called Cousin Susannah? Unfortunately can't remember Author! But I think GH would have enjoyed it. I first read GH when I was 13 ...over 40 years age (help! once I was younger than the heroines, now I'm older that their mothers!) Has anyone noticed that many of the best heroines don't have mothers? ]

I've found that Creevey's account of Brussels during the Waterloo period - GH's (The Infamous army) is included in a downloadable selected version of "The Creevey Papers" http://www.archive.org/details/creeveypaperssel00cree I found the whole book extremely readable. 40 MB as a PDF though!

[723] Thu 8 Oct 2009, 12:25 - Ann - from: United Kingdom	Hello Sally. I would be lovely to meet. Having to travel from Worcestershire I'm spending the night near Cambridge so would have leisure for a quick drink afterwards. How can we recognise each other? I'm not prepared to wear a buttonhole or carry The Times!I know I'll tie a thin white thread around the strap of my black shoulder bag!

[722] Sun 4 Oct 2009, 14:57 - Elizabeth M. - from: United States	Hi again. What a treat to visit with all of you! Just found the pump room last night after having finished Venetia for the umpteenth time with a smile on my face and no one to share it with. But I have loved reading and rereading them all. Does anyone think that the movie Becoming Jane has more than a nod to Heyer in it? I love James Mcavoy as a Heyer style hero, "planting facers" and dressing in a "vastly fashionable" green velvet coat. "A neck or nothing young blood of the fancy." Isn't that how his uncle describes him before he is sent off to rusticate? Pure Heyer! Thanks again!

[721] Sun 4 Oct 2009, 12:44 - Amanda Clark - from: United States	I discovered this amazing author last winter, as I was on bed-rest with complications to the birth of my first child. It was the most wonderful escape for my worried, tired mind!! (I now sneak a little read in while I am feeding him!) I am an avid reader, of what my English-teacher father calls, "heavy literature". I can't help but feel that there is a subtlety of humor and intelligence in her work that fills my bookish soul. I have shared her books with my mother and sisters, and we are all now addicted. How wonderful to discover a "new" author and have so many books to look forward to.
