I’m glad this was a buddy-read. Reading this with others and being able to write many ranting updates made it far more enjoyable. You see, this really wasn’t a good fit for me. Overall, the plot is rather ridiculous, and I never really felt the attraction of the romantic couple. Yes, Heyer somew...
One of the few bad things about having friends on book sites who's opinions I tend to agree with and who write great reviews is that I often have nothing to little to add. In this case, though it worked out great, because I couldn't really figure out what I thought about this book, and Murder by Dea...
I feel like I've talked myself out on this one with the buddy read (in a good way - that was fun!) so I don't really feel motivated to write up a full review. I'll just say that I never really warmed up to Venetia, the softest emotion I felt for Damerel was pity, but the witty dialog and character i...
I ended up enjoying this book much more than I thought I would have after chapter 1. That bramble scene left me extremely sceptical - I could see no way Heyer would be able to adequately redeem Lord D. and make me buy into this romance. But the dialog was intelligent and snappy, and I liked Aubrey...
I'm probably ahead of some of you - I finished Venetia last night. I read this charming book before, of course, a couple of times, as I read every other Heyer’s romance novel, and my old review is here. Even though I wrote it 4 years ago, I stand by every word (*). So here are just a few notes to ad...
One of Georgette Heyer's grittier romances, VENETIA is my favourite. I've lost count of how many times I've read it, but I still feel a whole gamut of emotions as I'm reading it. As always, Heyer's descriptions and settings are impeccable in their detail and her characterisations of even the smalles...
Ugh...fabulous. Richard Armitage's fantastic narration only added to Georgette Heyer's fantastic writing. And while this version is abridged, it flowed quite nicely, at least to me, at any rate. It's been some years since I've read the complete version of the novel, and had it been a bit fresher...
Spoiler Rating: Moderate Hello, Mom! I finished Venetia several days ago, and have spent the intervening time simultaneously rushing through preparations for my grand return to Texas and debating how many stars Venetia rates. It's certainly not so bad that I feel justified in spoiling all its ...
I've pretty much learned that the combo of a good author + a great narrator is audiobook gold. Once I find a good match I tend to stick with them. Susan Elizabeth Phillips + Anna Fields Joanna Bourne + Kirsten Potter Marion Chesney/MC Beathon + Davina Porter JD Robb + Susan Ericksen Mercedes Lack...
