More books for the list. I am shockingly behind schedule for 52 books (I should be on around 12 by now) however, I hope to remedy this in the holidays, if I ever finish doing interminable tasks for school! But enough on that egregious subject. I don't know what I'd do without the wonderful, blissful escapism of books. It is a sustenance, a joy, a respite, a respiration. I thank God that I have always had a love of reading!
I have also decided, as part of my 52 book challenge, that I also want to try and read 52 different authors if I possibly can.
5. Melissa Nathan: Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field (another spin on the Jane Austen classic of loathing and cross-wires leading to love, set in the context of a one night only production of Pride and Prejudice. Very enjoyable!)
6. Meredith Efken @ home for the holidays (the entirety conveyed through e-mail messages. A little irritating in places, particularly since I couldn’t guess what the link was between the songs in a game one of the Stay-at-home-mums set, but a lovely account of the trials and tribulations, joys and sorrows of some American stay-at-home-mums.
7. Meg Alexander Miranda’s Masquerade (a Regency romance, not bad, used the familiar Twin mix-up plot device)
8. Claire Thornton Gifford’s lady (another exceedingly tacky Regency-set romance which needs reading to clear the book cases.)
9. Joan Aiken The Scream (supposedly a kids/teenage story. Very short, only 89 pages, but very chilling and disturbing. Extremely well written and worth a look at.)
