I feel like my writing just never does a great book justice. :)<BR/><BR/>Rosario--It really is true that an author I like will get me to read almost anything. I am learning not to be put off by silly things.<BR/><BR/>Dance Chica--OOOH! You should read Heyer! Let's see, this one would be a good one to start with, though it's out of print so it might not be the easiest to find. I'd say her other two most popular ones are Venetia and The Grand Sophy. My other favorite is The Nonesuch.<BR/><BR/>Mailyn--I think you gushing over Devil's Cub is one of the reasons I got it. So thanks! :) I did adore it.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-9051144736899338872007-05-22T13:23:00.000-04:002007-05-22T13:23:00.000-04:00DC start with Devil's Cub, it's one of my faves!I'...DC start with Devil's Cub, it's one of my faves!<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you liked DC jennie! Heyer is so damn funny. Love her!<BR/><BR/>I love vampire stories. Whether good or evil or yucky. I just think they are cool. Although I do hate that most people can't write a good vampire story. Most of the vamp books suck. No pun intended. LOL.<BR/><BR/>Love gothic stories.<BR/><BR/>Great meme!Mailynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268088979512386316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-53253218489820183932007-05-22T12:46:00.000-04:002007-05-22T12:46:00.000-04:00Everyone talks about Georgette Heyer’s books but I...Everyone talks about Georgette Heyer’s books but I’ve never read her. I’d like to: any book you’d recommend I start with?<BR/><BR/>As for becoming more open-minded, that’s definitely a good thing. Of course, there will always be things we will or won’t like, but a willingness to try new things means we might find gems we wouldn’t have found before. I agree that it’s also in the author. The right author can make you enjoy things you normally would not have, too—or thought you wouldn't have. <BR/><BR/>I’m excited to read about Colin, after reading his answers to Meljean’s contest (on her blog). He seems like an interesting character and for him to make you like vampires—well, he’s definitely worth checking out! ;-)dancechicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890938063309059435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-69360040343011038972007-05-22T11:12:00.000-04:002007-05-22T11:12:00.000-04:00It's all in the author.

I've got my own rules (which include things like rapist "heroes", adultery and secret babies), but they won't keep me from trying a book with that very plot by an author who's proven herself to me. I've been proved wrong way too many times for that :-)Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-37905101843146758332007-05-22T11:10:00.000-04:002007-05-22T11:10:00.000-04:00This sounds like another meme.

I'm not that far into it, so I'm looking forward to seeing more Colin.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the gushing review of Devil's Club. Hero sounds delish already. :P~ames~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17683205224039402987noreply@blogger.com
