Blogging Book Goal- Book #9

I really whizzed through the next two books! I feel like I am really getting back into the swing of reading for enjoyment, instead of having to force myself to read because I was in a reading slump!


First up, I read a fiction book! I love fiction, I can usually just breeze right through them, and I get SO involved in the story line!


I am falling in L-O-V-E with Jane Austen, like I never thought possible! I chose Northanger Abbey as my next Austen book to read, because, well, I thought it sounded neat.

Then, I read the back, and I was hooked!

I stormed through that book in three days! Though, truthfully, it really isn't that big.

I loved the characters and the setting (I really want to go to Bath, England now!) and I love how the premise of the entire story is about a young woman's imagination getting the best of her.

Because I never have that problem *sheepish grin!*

My only complaint, is that it does not actually get to the plot/climax of the book until chapter 24 out of 30! The first 23 chapters were basically the characters walking around talking, and I was waiting for the drama to commence.

I LOVE Jane Austen! I haven't read Northanger Abbey yet though, so I'll have to get that one next!

I have to second Callie. I LOVE Jane Austen as well!

I'm glad you are enjoying reading again.

BTW: Have I told you lately that I really like the music on your blog? Especially that "Keep Breathing" song...
