I started reading The Grand Sophy the other day and am enjoying it so far. However, when she uses odd words like “animadverted,” I have to believe she kept a thesaurus nearby when writing her books and must have thought inserting these “smart” words would give the novel a more educated or old-fashion feel. Personally I think it's distracting and would prefer if she just said “complained”. Anyway, I still enjoy the story and look forward to reading the following books:
Charity Girl by Georgette Heyer
The Unknown Ajax by Georgette Heyer
The Convenient Marriage by Georgette Heyer
A Civil Contract by Georgette HeyerThe Nonsuch by Georgette Heyer
Frederica by Georgette Heyer
i have never read a single Heyer. Maybe I shouldn't really confess to this, but I'm thinking I may need to remedy the situation pronto.
ReplyDeleteI started read Heyer last year, and I really enjoy her! Have fun with your Heyer fest. :D
ReplyDeleteOkay, I think I need to read some Heyer. If reading one book makes you take out SIX more, there's something good going on there.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm not sure you have enough Heyer books.
