I'm still behind on my book blogging. So here are some Really Short Reviews so I can finally catch up! Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella (audio book). Pondy will attest that I had a very similar idea for a book over a year ago, and I'm convinced Kinsella stole it. Get out of my brain, Kinsella!...
That my ass is dragging today. Why? Because of her brilliant comment the other day that she was watching the BBC miniseries of Pride and Prejudice. So, what did I do last night? Watch it from stem to stern. After my son went to sleep. That put me in bed at 1:15 in the morning. I get up during the...
During the summer I was feeling rather uninspired when it came to reading. I have books around here I want to get to, but they seemed to serious or long, or whatever, so I was avoiding them. I picked up Nancy Pearl's two books, Book Lust and More Book Lust to get some ideas and motivation to find...
Hi everyone, I am a BIG Jane Austen fan; if you know my Mom then it makes sense that I am one. I took this Jane Austen test to see which of her heroines is most like me. My results ended in the much hoped for words "ELIZABETH BENNET!" HURRAY! I wouldn't mind being like Kathryn though. Here's the...

It came up so I have to discuss it: Twilight. As a youth librarian it was obvious to me that this book had something special about it because when it came in, it went right back out. Then the next in the series came, and the next, etc. Well since the movie is coming out in December I think, I knew I...
This week I finished Emma and Northanger Abbey. These were the last two Jane Austen novels that I had not read. I loved both of them, but I'd rank Emma 5 of 5 stars and Northanger Abbey 4 of 5. WARNING: SPOILERS ABOUT BOTH BOOKS BELOW I found Emma to be a more perfect and complicated novel. I knew...
