I love the kind of overlapping that goes on in the worlds of these books.

I'm pleased to see her gaining new fans.

Then I found some old books of hers in the library, and a couple at jumble sales. It's amusing but pleasing to see her rediscovered.<br /><br />My comfort reads are Georgette Heyer's Regency romances. They are comforting because I know them so well and love many of the characters. Perhaps because I know them well, I can see how good much of the writing is, and I enjoy the world she created.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553503435833467369noreply@blogger.com
