I was nervous when I started reading this one due to many of the negative reviews, but I have to say, I was happily surprised! I just became a fan of the Shopaholic series and I just love Becky & Luke! I really didn't think their relationship was given enough attention in this first book, but ...

Pride and Prejudice (Barnes & Noble Classics) 2 reviews Jane Austen
Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003
Ahh Jane Austen
+ Completely Enchanting
I'm very biased because this is my favorite book of all time by one of my favorite autors. The story comes alive, the characters come alive. To me after years of reading and rereading the story, these characters are like people that really lived and I feel like I know them better then alot of real ...

The Jane Austen Book Club 283 reviews Karen Joy Fowler
Plume, 2005
Great fun for Austen addicts
+ Let the Jane Austen Fest Begin
How much fun is this? A whole book about women who love to read Jane Austen--a book filled with coy plot allusions, character references, settings and themes. What's more, it's a book that's filled with humor and hilarity. Fowler--dare I say this?--is almost as observant about the foibles of ...

Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel 122 reviews Lauren Weisberger
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Good Book!
I'm not sure I agree with many of the other 1,2, & 3 star reviews, but it might have something to do with this being my first novel read written by Lauren Weisberger. No, I only saw the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada" - never read the book. So, I had nothing to compare "Chasing Harry Winston" to ...

The Devil Wears Prada 1025 reviews Lauren Weisberger
Anchor, 2006
Great Read
+ A must have. + Uneven
I just loved this book! I thought that the writing was brilliant. Towards the end though it did get repetitive about just how bad her boss was. I wanted to say, "Okay, I get it already!" It was a bit much. But all in all, I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
