I fall into the occassional historical fan category. When I read one I always enjoy it.

When my grandmother passed away, her house was full of GH's. I was 14 at the time, and didn't think much about it. When I discovered as an adult how much *I* loved reading romances, I remembered that she'd been a romance reader, and felt a connection to her. I'd love to have Cotillion, but even if I don't win a copy, this is a good reminder that I need to bump GH up my TBR list, in my gm's honor. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800520.post-20084177148683775452011-08-16T16:32:39.831-07:002011-08-16T16:32:39.831-07:00I hate to admit this, since I write Regencies and ...I hate to admit this, since I write Regencies and all...but I've never read Georgette Heyer, either.

I do enjoy a good historical now and then, a nice break away from paranormals and romantic suspense, a change of pace from the technology of today. To read just how people got by back then, that their lives did not revolve around techology.<br /><br />I've never heard of Georgette Heyer.<br /><br />Raonaid at gmail dot comRaonaid Luckwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159198145627046070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37800520.post-19709530682399787422011-08-16T16:21:40.198-07:002011-08-16T16:21:40.198-07:00I've never read a GH book which I know is like...I've never read a GH book which I know is like sacrilige but I love historicals.
