kyburgOne more for the 50 Book Challenge:
6. The Masqueraders by Georgette Heyer.
"Single handedly created the Regency Romances as we know them today." End papers on the author by other romance writers making a living writing this stuff as we know it. Hoorah.
This one was written in the early thirties, and having other books written in this period in my library (I grew up in Hemet, I inherit libraries. Yes, I have, will and shall. It's my destiny. *slaps self*), the style and vocabulary was only a little more difficult to get used than, say, Shakespeare. Past that, the plot was meaty enough, albeit simple, and the characters well-drawn enough to spark interest aside from the way you knew a romance novel was going to end. This one has the additional filip of having cross-dressing be a central theme - which was a plus.
Looking forward to the next one -
