On the Heyer poll:

Thanks all you posting folks! I'm going with...oooh...the anticipation...Frederica because it has won the poll: for complex technical reasons relating to Una voting and the fact that "Shades" has been hyped at me for over a decade and therefore is likely to suffer in my cold hard grumpy old hands.

What made it so difficult to choose is that the blurbs are brilliantly hilarious, and make me want to read them all at once.

So...tonight I will finish "The Fall And Rise of Reginald Perrin" for the billionth time, leave that bleak-but-funny-no-just-bleak-actually-midlife-crisis behind, and the Heyering will begin!

Thanks again,

Mr A

It also occurs to me that several of the best Heyers would make wonderful TV miniseries... they've got it all, action/adventure, swordfights, wit, lurve and romance, gorgeous eye-candy... and fabulous period sets and costumes.

I absolutely agree; I was storyboarding Friday's Child in my head as I read it.

Late, but I'll say that The Unknown Ajax and The Toll Gate are both marvelous reads. I resisted Heyer for years, but one day I was stuck on a train with nothing but a copy of Sprig Muslin I'd bought for my mom, and now I'm hooked.

I think The Unknown Ajax will be my next read; people have spoken very warmly of it, and I like the sound of the blurb.
