Being in Japan, I find that I have been reading a lot more lately. Sadly, the number of books available that I can actually read is extremely limited, so my e-reader is kind of my lifeline, and running out of books while away from an internet connection is especially tragic. On a particularly rainy sunday, I experienced this exact brand of heartache, and decided to search for some new ones at the coffee shop near the station. There is free wi-fi, tasty white chocolate mochas, and I can purchase the means to feed my book addiction in peace, but where to start? I'm not going to lie, since leaving the book store and entering first the teaching field, and now the engineering one, I have fallen out of touch with the literary community. What are the kids reading these days? Is there anything good out, I had no idea, so I just started poking around in the "free" and $ 2.99 book sections. I started by looking for fairy tale adaptations (found some pretty good ones, too) the I saw "Pride and Popularity" and the everything just fell into place.
Pride & Prejudice is one of my favorite books, even though it is written in super old English, I can sit and read that book over and over again without ever getting tired of Lizzie Bennett and Mr. Darcy. So, finding an adaptation of this much beloved novel, I decided to give it a try, beside at $ 4.99 / book the series showed promise from the get go. I DEVOURED this book. There isn't a single part of this book that I can single out as a particular highlight. I started reading around 4 in the afternoon, and could not put it down until the very last page was turned around 1am Monday morning. (Did I mention that i had to wake up for work at 4am? Yes, it was that good). The next day, I needed ANOTHER new book, and I knew exactly where to find it. I went directly to "Northanger Alibi", "Persuaded", "Emmalee", and "Mansfield Ranch." I read every single one cover to cover in one go. I couldn't put them down. When I finished "Mansfield Ranch" and found out the next book, "Sensible and Sensational" was not due out until December, I think I died a little inside. I wasn 't ready to leave Farmington and all of the characters that I have grown to love so much. What wasI going to do until December????? This was as bad as a breakup! After a good long cry and a carton full of ice cream, I did the only thing I COULD do. Find a book that looked an awful lot like the ones that just broke up with me. So, I am now happily on my 4th Jane Austen novel and we've never been happier .
.I highly recommend this series I loved getting to know these characters and joining their incredible journeys: Falling in love with them, laughing with them, crying with them, I just couldn't get enough They brought Ms Austen alive for me in a whole new way, and I can't say enough about them. But don't just take my word for it. See for yourself! Each book can stand alone, they may reference the others, but the story lines don't depend on one another. Happy Reading!
