I’ve talked about The Austen Project before when I reviewed Joanna Trollope’s version of Sense and Sensibility. While the original is certainly one of my favourite Austen books, the new version was mostly unbelievable and barely made sense in today’s world. I was hoping ALexander McCall Smith would do better on Emma, but I’m afraid … Continue reading
I went away for work at the end of March. Since I was only going for two nights, I thought I’d take my new Kindle instead of a big book. I’ve had a Kindle Fire for a few years now, yet I’ve only ever read two books on it. I love paper too much, but … Continue reading
When I first came to England, I quickly discovered three chick-lit novelists I would love from the start: Alexandra Potter, Sophie Kinsella and Jane Costello. I own every single book (except for Kinsella’s novels written as Madeleine Wickham), I constantly recommend them to anyone who’ll listen and I was lucky enough to interview both Potter … Continue reading
For my birthday, I received the new and updated version of Sense and Sensibility by Joanna Trollope. The re-imagined novel is part of The Austen Project, a new series of books written by today’s leading authors transposing Jane Austen’s stories to modern-day England. Just a refresher for everyone: The Dashwood girls have just lost their … Continue reading
Well yes, my title is a bold statement. Then again, the Tudor dynasty is one that has remained on everyone’s mind for a long time through stories, novels, movies, TV shows and a constant stream of Tudor events happening at the historic royal palaces. Of course, there weren’t that many Tudors, but they have had … Continue reading
I’m a sucker for romance, and Nicholas Sparks is possibly the most amazing male romance novelist. Every book he writes makes me laugh out loud, sigh with envy and cry like a baby. Luckily for us, many of his books aren’t just left on the shelves. The Notebook, Dear John, The Last Song or The … Continue reading
If your only exposure to Stephenie Meyer has been Twilight, then don’t run away screaming. While her teen/young adult series was generally ok, it was badly written, the female character was apathetic and served no other purpose than to be protected at all times, until the very last book; and the supernatural was mainly used … Continue reading
I recently finished reading Jean Plaidy’s The Captive of Kensington Palace, the first book in a series about Queen Victoria. I had previously read a book set in the Tudor era by that author, and didn’t like her style at all. Compared to Philippa Gregory or Anne O’Brien, she wasn’t making me feel anything. But … Continue reading
If you happen to be a film buff, and if, on top of that, you’re a sucker for chick flicks and chick lit, then Ali McNamara’s books are just the thing. My Mum got me From Notting Hill With Love… Actually last year and I really loved the character of Scarlett who’s so involved with … Continue reading
