With all the 5-star reviews, perhaps my expectations of this novel were a little high. It had all the elements of the classics that I love so much - the abandoned child whose few prospects all but disappear by a cruel twist of fate, the star crossed lovers who against all odds meet up again halfway...
"Desire definitely has Shelf life. Delay love or the expressing of it, and it dies. Take it for granted, and it goes away, like the morning snow on the roof during the ides of March."
At long last, I have finished reading Jane Austen Made Me Do It, a collection of short stories inspired by Jane Austen. But please don’t think my reporting to you that it took a long time to read is any indication that I didn’t like this collection, for I enjoyed it immensely.But it is a perfect pic...
A good read set in my home state. I liked it but I'm not sure I liked enough to read anything else by the author. It's been 6 years since I read it so it's a good bet I won't be reading any of the others in this series and probably nothing else by this author.
If you have been reading this blog or knowing me for some time, you will perhaps already know this, but I LOVE Jane Austen. Pride and Prejudice is my all-time favourite novel and I try to reread it at least once a year. Which is in fact due around Christmas I think :)So I was really excited to read ...
I hate to admit this, but Pride and Prejudice is possibly my least favorite Austen novel. Terrible but true. (I'm a Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility fangirl all the way.) I say this to explain that I don't have any deep emotional attachment to Elizabeth and Darcy, which is why I love P&P insp...
A wonderful collection of short stories by some of my favorite Austenesque authors! I was also introduced to some new ( to me) authors. If you enjoy short stories and especially the Austenesque genre, I think you'll love this collection.
As always like with all stories, some I liked some not so much. Some I wanted to read more of because they were good, and some I thought also needed to be longer because I was just confused when they were so short. All in all this was a nice collection of different variations, modern version and a f...
Jane Austen and her books have been the inspiration for a wide variety of books over the years as sequels, adaptations or inspired stories. All have kept Miss Austen and her characters alive in a myriad of forms. Jane Austen Made Me Do It: Original Stories Inspired by Literature's Most Astute Observ...
Jane Austen Made Me Do It was another Anthology that I loved. I found that my favorite stories where the ones that were set in the present day and had to do with Jane Austen rather then the ones that were spin offs of the books or had Jane Austen as the main character in them. That's the great thi...
