Jane Austen 4 stars I do not know why so many people seem to dislike Fanny Price. I actually really loved her, maybe because she reminded me a lot of myself. Like me, Fanny is shy, and is not really sure of her place at times. I like that even though she feels like sheContinue reading “Mansfield Park”

Jen Malone 4.5 starsThis was so much fun! I was surprised to find this book on Kindle unlimited because most large publishers such as Harper Collins do not put their books up there. I love Jen Malone’s books, Wanderlost being one of my favorites, but I had not read this one because it was not available atContinue reading “Map to the Stars”

The main character, Catherine, is not always the smartest, and does not see the plotting that is going on aroundContinue reading “Northanger Abbey”
