It is a truth universally acknowledged that it is human nature for our subconscious to wish for an escape when the going get's tough and Courtney Stone's subconscious didn't just "wish" for an escape. It conjured it. The hows and whys of the situation is still remains at loss for me even after I fin...
I read this book two years ago, after bumping into the author in the Twitterverse. I liked the premise of the story, so I decided to buy the books (indeed I own a signed hardback of this book) and give them a try. When I started reading the book, I really liked the idea of a Jane Austen Addict wakin...
So, I bet you thought to yourself, “Hey, this book looks okay. The synopsis even makes it sound like it may be fun. I like Jane Austen so, what the heck!” Don’t be fooled, my friend. I too thought these same things and I was sorely mistaken. I don’t even want to attempt to summarize what happens in ...
My only excuse for not already having read Confessions of a Jane Austen addict is that it predates the beginnings of my own Jane Austen addiction. Well, my other excuse is that I am writing my own Jane Austeny timey-whimey thingie and didn’t want to get too mixed up. But when I grabbed the moderator...
This book offers up everything you’d expect from a chick-lit/ Jane Austen fiction. Is it predictable? Yes. But Rigler makes for a fun romp into the whole switching places genre. .. please read the full review at: http://tipsyreader.com/books/reviews/book-review-confessions-of-a-jane-austen-addict/
In the end, the book was charming enough that I didn't openly hate it, but my friends can attest to my frustration whilst reading it. The writing was great, the research thorough, making it all the more aggravating that our heroine Courtney/Jane was rather awful for most of the book.To be fair, Rig...
The last thing Courtney Stone can remember is nursing her recently broken heart with a Jane Austin Novel and some Absolut. Now she has awoken in Austin’s England living the life of Jane Mansfield (yes, the reader and the character both realize the implications of the name) and living it quite well. ...
Two and a half stars.It seems that the most successful Austen-related works are those which adapt stories for modern times (Bridget Jones' Diary, the movie Clueless). If we want to read about Regency England, why not go directly to Austen? Everything else pales in comparison.This story isn't bad, ...
3.5 stars. It was an interesting take from an obviously huge Jane Austen fan. This book illustrates the side of Austen's novels that isn't widely mentioned. When 21st century Courtney wakes up in 1813 England, she struggles to figure out if she's dreaming, and if not, how to get back to the now. She...
