Mansfield Park (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) 3 reviews Jane Austen
Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005
Excellent
+ A good book + Don't make this an Austen First
I think this is my favorite Jane Austen book so far, although I still have Persuasion and Northanger Abbey to read. Most Austen fans would not count Mansfield Park as a favorite, though, at least from what I've heard. It's not that it's a profoundly different book from the more popular Pride & ...

Love Under Fire (Pyramid Romance #39 Barbara Cartland
Pyramid Books, 1976
Elvina stood before the ship's captain feeling more afraid than she'd guessed she would. She watched him appraise her black hair, dyed the night before, her skin, darkened with berry juice, her skinny frame of a figure. She could see that he believed her story-- that she was an orphaned Portugese child. "What is your name?" he asked. "Elvina?" She said. "What is your surname?" "I haven't one," ...

If you like fantasy stories filled with magic, adventure and romance, but are getting sick and tired of boring, long-winded fantasy epics, then look no further than "Stardust."

Isolde, Queen of the Western Isle (Tristan and Isolde Novels, Book 1) 39 reviews Rosalind Miles
Three Rivers Press, 2003
Rosalind Miles gets carried away by the magic of her own writings
+ isolde, queen of the western isle
Rosalind Miles is a gifted writer. Her retelling of this famous story of Tristan and Isolde is full of magic, lyrical language, poetic descriptions of nature, places and events, but at times, too sweet. Too much magic, I think, can disorient even the most skilled writers.
This book is the first ...
