I also have a Jane Austen shelf on my Goodreads page you can check out! Recently, I read Beth Pattillo's two books (Jane Austen Ruined My Life and Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart) and I recommend them if you liked this. Reviews are on my blog :)Traihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187991154030955086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-87293673941223446282010-07-01T20:25:02.041-04:002010-07-01T20:25:02.041-04:00Traci, I'm sorry you had a hard time finishing...Traci, I'm sorry you had a hard time finishing it. I was very skeptical of it, just because I've heard that Austen-related books are a bit cheesy. Maybe I was craving cheese that day! lol. <br /><br />Stuck Between the Pages - Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed my review! :) I've always wanted to be a writer. <br /><br />Daisy, I need to take a look at Me and Mr. Darcy! I've decided to dip more into this genre. :) <br /><br />Ash, you can fight all you want!

Also the BBC special I just saw called "Lost in Austin" except in that she is literally transported into the book and Elizabeth is transported to London. <br /><br />Sounds like a great book! I love the BBC P&P, but I can't say that I have ever gotten through an Austen novel. It's on my to do list... one day.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831322497489282381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-48281452707847651072010-07-01T17:29:51.094-04:002010-07-01T17:29:51.094-04:00This sounds super fun!

I loved Me and Mr. Darcy by Alexandra Potter, which also deals with the trouble of finding your own Mr Darcy.. Why doesn't he exist in real life?

It's on my "to get back to eventually" pile. I don't know why, I just got tired of the main character treating her love of Austen as something shameful and of her relationships with the two men. Maybe I'll give it another shot soon.Traihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187991154030955086noreply@blogger.com
