Following a series of dramatic and gut wrenching novels, I was starting to feel like my blog was becoming work. I decided to read Austenland to give myself a small break from the death, self-destruction, broken hearts, drug addictions and violence I so typically find myself reading. Reemerging a few days later, I felt like anyone taking a vacation – I didn’t want to leave. My blog review of Shannon Hale's Austenland.

It's one of those books that you can see as a movie with Ginnifer Goodwin or Reese Witherspoon. Hale's writing style is addictive and the chapters are short, making this an easy breezy read.Austenland has all the romantic fun and quick banter an Austen fan craves, just with more make out scenes and, admittedly, a lot less depth.
