Been reading the copy of Faro’s Daughter by #GeorgetteHeyer I bought on holiday on and off and last night a leaflet fell out: an early 1950s pamphlet for the Regent’s Institute (promising to turn amateurs into journalists and magazine writers for an undisclosed “small” fee). I am now obsessed with The Regent’s Institute (followers of my work on the Lady’s Magazine will know I’m interested in so-called amateur writing). I know Christopher Hilliard has written about the Institute a bit. Who else?

Secondhand book holiday haul. Rereading Faro’s Daughter by #GeorgetteHeyer at the moment (think I read it when I was about 12). Would love to write a book called Georgette Heyer’s Reading List: The Books That Made Regency Romance. #bookstadon

Let’s avoid the rough, crass, modern society we inhabit and take refuge in the gentler worlds of #JaneAusten and #GeorgetteHeyer, where the worst insult might well be “You, Sir, are not a gentleman…”

Doh!
You're the first person I've followed based on book series. #GeorgetteHeyer is my comfort for ever. I have had to rebuy some of the books multiple times because they fall apart due to use.

My first Heyer was The Grand Sophy when I was a teenager and not aware of the antisemitism. So I will always hold the rest in affection but would recommend Frederica or Venetia (no problem with Damerel here ☺️)

Anything to do with #history, #ballet, #allotmenting or #GeorgetteHeyer will catch my interest.

Hi folks, pretty new to Mastodon and slowly figuring out how to use it. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and reconnecting with friends fron the #TwitterMigration.
Not sure what people notice first about me online (cats?) but irl, I'm a nerdy science teacher who loves tea and books and cats. Mrs Scattergood is an in joke from a #GeorgetteHeyer readalong group I joined during lockdown (and gave me much happiness).
Pleased to meet you!
