I'm not a big fan of the crime ones, for instance, and though I will really read ANY of the historical ones happily (reread, that is...), I do think that seven or eight of them are significantly superior to the others, and that the formula sometimes wears thin.

And perhaps I should develop a lingering fondness for Georgette Heyer, whom I don't know at all??Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.com
