TBM was my first Heyer, but as I was a teen-ager at the time it hit the right notes for me and I fell in love with ALL of her romances (I also read the mysteries and historicals, but like them not so much). In college, Heyer was the guilty pleasure that I had in common with a few discerning Lit. majors. And I happily wrote a long paper on Highwaymen for my 18th C. Social History Seminar.

_These Old Shades_ is my favorite. I rather have a weakness for the cross-dressing in _The Masqueraders_ and love men dressed in satin and lace and heels, spouting poetry, in _Powder and Patch_. Regencies: _Venetia_, of course, and _The Grand Sophy_. I'll re-read most all of Heyer's romances, devouring them like the best of comfort food. *sigh*
