Blasphemy redux: one year later

[winter]

I wanted to post appropriate icons for today, but yesterday's madness left a mark, so I'll be over there ----> curled up with Tonio and a Georgette Heyer book I haven't read before. In their stead, in celebration of a certain anniversary, a video I hear is having trouble getting playtime on air...

Oomph! - Gott ist ein Popstar

And, you know, props to Charlie and all, hope he's got a good seat upstairs, and good luck with the beatification thing. Lots of people wearing mourning and little white ribbons on the streets today.

I need a good Charlie W. icon. Possibly with Bono's sunglasses.

Which Georgette Heyer is that? I reread almost all of her books that I have about a year ago.

Personal favorites:

Devil's Cub
Frederica
The Grand Sophy
The Quiet Gentleman
Sprig Muslin
Sylvester
The Unknown Ajax

The Reluctant Widow. I haven't read much Heyer because it's hard to get her books over here, but Mother's usual dealer romance novel publisher finally decided to start bringing out her titles in translation. They even got a decent translator, though of course it loses GH's lovely period stylisation...

I read Sylvester in English and adored it :) Whatta guy!

The Reluctant Widow is a fun one!
Whatta guy, indeed! I loved the way his nephew treated his new stepfather.
That's a shame about the translation.
Have you tried e-bay? There's where I picked up some of my hardcover copies. (I find that many of my paperbacks that have been read a lot or are over 25 years old have a nasty tendency to fall apart...)

Alas, transport, not the buying is the problem :) I need to get my behind to an English-speaking country again and dig through second-hand bookshops - alas, I only discovered Ms Heyer once I got back from Ireland...
