Thank you for the giveaway!
I like reading her books because they are usually quite light hearted and fun. I also know that Heyer was a stickler for research, becoming the foremost expert on Regency period, and I think she also had one of the largest collection pertaining to that period, so I like that I know that she probably was quite accurate in her books, and yet she did not engage in infodumps in her romances.

I discovered Georgette Heyer through these great re-issues that Sourcebooks has been putting out recently. I read my first of her work last year, and I was hooked! Her style really reminds me of Jane Austen-- so classy. I haven't read any of her "modern" books yet, and I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

I am intrigued by her because I was chatting with a fellow book blogger, Christina from A Reader of Fictions, and she commented that she thought Heyer's romance was classy for their covers (looking like an Austen classic). And I ended up curious about Heyer's work.

I think the first romance book I read was by Georgette Heyer. I may have been drawn to it because my mother's middle name was Georgette. I recently found a box of my old books which included several by Georgette Heyer - I pulled them out to read again - maybe that was fate for her Birthday celebration.

I discovered Georgette Heyer through Sarah Rees Brennan, who wrote a short parody of Cotillion. After that, I was hooked!

I have not read any of her books but have a couple on my Kindle, just waiting their turn!
I like that she's so diverse. I've only read her mysteries til now, but have heard such great things about her historicals and romances too. Definitely want to use that coupon!
Thanks!
