Fresh off a re-reading of Bath Tangle, I reacted with extraordinary delight when I chanced upon a Bath spotlight in the Telegraph.
Sounds very silly doesn't it? I bet you have no idea how it feels to just finish a Heyer and walk around with your head suspended in the Regency era. And don't you dare brand Heyer as trashy romance unless you want me to label you a sour humourless pig-person. Ah Bah!
Psst...go read These Old Shades if pig-person and Ah Bah did not make a dent.

About me
- I'm Echo/Lavanya
- From Chennai, India
- So, we are curious now? My folks named me Lavanya, and it does have a meaning. I named myself Echo, for this blog. And that has a meaning too. Therefore, I have more than one name; I can walk; I can talk; I can read; I can even write; I can count - 9 'I's already and that is absolutely disgusting; I can also lie about numbers. Do you need to hear more?

Another GH fan! People sometimes dismiss her writing, but I think she provides insight into a different time with completely different societal norms. I like the fact that her books go beyond the romantic angle, you get to know random bit of information about the Regency period. Vastly diverting,my dear, as one of her characters would say.

SK: delighted to hear from a GH fan! It is sad that people dismiss her writing and like you I enjoy the way she paints the Regency period, offering insights into daily life back then. Vastly diverting indeed. Thanks for writing.
