Pride and Popularity was a pretty good fluff read. However, you really need to keep in mind that it is a fluff read, or else you will be setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment. Here's what I liked.1. Pride and Prejudice retelling. Need I say more?2. All the fluff. I'll admit, this was pr...
I loved this book! It was very light-hearted and clean. Cute, easy read story, with all the parallels to Pride & Prejudice, told in a modern backdrop.
Holy cow this book was amazing. Jenni James has an amazing talent for making readers fall in love with her characters in the shortest amount of time.I cannot get over how amazing Tony Russo is. I fell in love with him almost as fast as Claire did. Claire is in love with Twilight, as I was when I ...
Persuasion is one of my favorite Jane Austen novels and this retelling did not disappoint. I know one novel's main character is an adult while the other novel's main character is a teen. Even with more than a hundred years separating the authors the novels are just fun and have storylines and emo...
This was a cute story that was based on Emma by Jane Austen. It was fun matching up the characters in this book who were similar to the characters in Jane Austen's Emma. My complaint about this book is that it annoys me when high school girls keep talking about being in love. I understand that so...
Didn't like the writing style. Everything seemed rushed, stilted, and not thorough. You never fully understood what was going on, and ALL the characters talked in full sentences, all the time. "would not" instead of "wouldn't" "It is" instead of "it's", etc. Used correctly, speech patterns like t...
HOly COW!!! Another amazing book Jenni James added into the Jane Austen Diaries. So, I usually have a not good attitude towards female protagonists in books. I usually hate them all, but I usually love the books. But, I have to say that I love Lilly in this book. James did an amazing job at makin...
I guess what I liked most about this book is that you rarely come across a retelling of this fairy tale. You do need to read "Hansel and Gretel" before you read this one because the two are connected. I thought that after all the build-up the ending was a bit rushed, but overall a good story. (Sh...
The pilot met them at the door, introducing himself and the other crew member on board, a flight attendant who was also a certified pilot in case of an emergency. Both men were cordial and professional and quick, and soon they were zooming thousands of feet in the air. The whole flight wasn’t exp...
A faint sound broke through her thoughts again—this time it was just a bit louder. She took another bite, forgetting about it until it broke through her subconscious once more.She knew that sound. Pulling the candy away from her mouth, she stood up. What was it?Pausing, she waited to hear it agai...
Inside was a ticket to the Salt Lake City Ballet that night to see none other than Swan Lake. The performance started at seven thirty. Scrawled on a note inside of the envelope were the words—Jane, I don’t know what I’ve done to hurt you. Forgive me. Today is seven swans-a-swimming. Here is your ...
Who would ever torment females with such a getup as this? It was deuced awkward to stand as it was—she could not imagine attempting to walk as well. There was one good thing about the impossible layers of fabric, and that was that it managed to keep her so occupied in sorting out that she almost ...
He had no intention of upsetting the lady, but it would seem he undeniably did just that. His stomach churned, and his spitefulness at the situation grew even more. What was the hope of attempting a relationship with the person you actually preferred in this forsaken town? Society did not want yo...
CHELSEA!” It was my dad. I knew it was. I quickly turned around in a bright, bright room and looked for him. I found him running toward me. He ran perfect and fast and he was so handsome in his uniform. He was smiling. When h...
HER FATHER CALLED out from the west drawing room as she headed up the grand staircase. “Come in here a moment—I would like you to meet someone.” Snow paused at the second step, knowing it really was inevitable—she would have to meet Prince Terrance. She turned and smiled a...
JONATHAN watched as a trace of disbelief flashed across her features as she stepped out of his arms. “What do you mean?” she asked. “It is not all that bad. I was simply adopted into the royal line.” He slipped the gold chain over his neck and tucked it within his shirt. “But—how?” He could tell ...
ASKED BLYTHE’S mother. “I beg your pardon—what did you say?”Blythe set her cup and saucer down and stood up.The butler cleared his throat. “A talking frog.”“Mother, let me go and speak with him. I know why he is here.” Blythe rushed forward and was about to walk out the door.“Just a moment!” The ...
