Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review. This did not influence my review in any way.So me and this book had a few troubles. After being approved on Netgalley (which took so long it was already out by the time I was) I realised from reading o...
Lily’s scored a rare audition to get into the London Drama Academy, the school of her dreams, but there are a few problems: she’s only there on probation for one term, her dad wants her to quit acting to learn ‘the family business’, and everyone thinks she’s there just because she’s a rich bitch, no...
I've always been pretty confused as to what the difference of perch-phaetons, coaches and other carriages, and also men's and women's clothings. SO I'm glad I read this book. It's really more of a reference book - which is why it's a must-have for GH fans - and it wasn't as entertaining, reading thi...
I recently read two biographies of two women who, on the face of it, would seem to have very little to do with each other. Vera Atkins (A Life in Secrets by Sarah Helm) was an intelligence officer in the SOE’s F(rench) section. Georgette Heyer (Georgette Heyer by Jennifer Kloester) was a beloved, be...

A decent biography about an insufferable person.I'm not big on Georgette Heyer's books anymore, but I'm always interested in learning about the real lives of authors. Well, Ms. Heyer and I would not have been friends, let's just say that.The book in itself had problems keeping my attention. Dry biog...
You don't have to love Georgette Heyer to enjoy this thorough account of Regency England's people, places, pastimes, customs and costumes. History enthusiasts, Jane Austen devotees, admirers of the Romantic poets, period writers, and maybe even researchers will find a lot of information to enhance ...
It's been quite a few weeks, running into months, since I picked up Jennifer Kloester's well-researched book on the world of Georgette Heyer's Regency romances. It's a purely factual book that details places, customs, culture, dress code, the shopping and travelling experiences, hobbies available to...
If you enjoy Regency-era romances, you will learn many interesting details from this book. Although I love fiction, it's nice to know about some of facts of that era.
Georgette Heyer's Regency World contains a wealth of information about the Regency era. It can be used for more than just Heyer's Regencies, but any Regencies.I read it once through, but this is the type of book that can be used for reference. It's separated into countless different sections, so it'...
