I love to watch Jane Austen adaptations. I have seen all three versions of Pride and Prejudice plus the Lost in Austen mini-series. I've started reading Pride and Prejudice, but I haven't finished it. Finding time to read when I spend so much time writing, or sneaking in period adaptations to fuel my historical muse… Continue reading What are you Reading Thursday

I spent the day watching instead of reading. I watched a BBC 5 episode edition of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. It was made in 1980 and was different from the version with Colin Firth. This one showed much more detail about Mr. Collins and Charlotte and painted a clearer picture of some of the… Continue reading What are you Reading Thursday

The opening scenes are funny and I have laughed on every page. So if you like a funny read this is turning out… Continue reading What Are You Reading Thursdays

This week I had the pleasure to read Carolynn Carey's upcoming Christmas novella The Secret Christmas… Continue reading What Are You Reading Thursdays

I'm giddy today and can't wait to tell you about it. I got to read another advance copy of one of Juli Alexander's YA novels My Life as the Ugly Stepsister. It was great. I think this one is my favorite now. I'm not sure what was different about it that appealed so much to… Continue reading What are You Reading Thursdays

I hear that Juli Alexander is toying with the idea of a sequel to Valentine's Day Sucks. I vote yes! But then I might be biased since I love her books. Ellora's Cave author Cecily French just sold her third book Be My Lover. It is the 2nd book in the Rogue's Gallery series. That's… Continue reading Rumor Has It Wednesdays
