A diverse cast of characters varying in age, origin, occupation and social status band together to preserve the former estate of Jane Austen in postwar England. It has a similar charm to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, but in my opinion it's a little less bubbly in tone, a little ...
A must-read for Austen fans and anyone who enjoys character-driven fiction with hope at its heart. I bought 'The Jane Austen Society' by Natalie Jenner on the basis of the title and cover alone. I'm a sucker for Jane Austen and books about Jane Austenish things, both because I love her novels an...
I enjoyed this book. I expected a rehashing of Shakespeare play in novel form. That is not what I got. This is richer and fuller giving not only Romeo and Juliet's story but more background into their families' feud. There is more about Paris here. Juliet is a strong woman. Romeo is more dreamer tha...
Classic love poems you read in high school from Barrett-Browning, Browning, Poe, Emerson, Marlowe, Shakespeare, and others beautifully read by Richard Armitage. I enjoyed hearing the poems read aloud. I remembered them all from school.
I'd only intended to listen to a couple of hours tonight, and then finish it tomorrow evening, but, obviously that didn't happen. And this is the point where I state that while this book is very good on its own, Richard Armitage's excellent narration makes it all the better.

But it included no less than three absolutely knock-out fabulous books, plus a fourth that was almost as...
This one...got to me. It had a very heart breaking ending. And the thing is, I'd totally worked out what most of the shocking twists were going to be, and when it ended in pretty much the only way it could have, I still felt sucker punched. I know I'm being pretty vague, but I don't think I can de...
I'm not gonna lie, my initial interest in this book was due to the fact that Richard Armitage narrates the audiobook. If you've followed me for any length of time, you'll know that I absolutely adore him, not only as an audiobook narrator, but first as an actor. That being said, I also thought the...
... in the order in which they're appearing on my card (not the order in which they've read them). Soooo ... in this year's twist on RL doing its best trying to throw a spanner in the works of Halloween Bingo fun, I've been spending the better part of the month either sitting around in conference ...
