I only purchased one book this week for my Kindle. It has been on my TBR list for a while and the movie premiered at Sundance this last week. So, I thought it would be a perfect time to get it!
Austenland by Shannon Hale
Jane Hayes is a seemingly normal young New Yorker, but she has a secret. Her obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, is ruining her love life: no real man can compare. But when a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-crazed women, Jane's fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become realer than she ever could have imagined. Decked out in empire-waist gowns, Jane struggles to master Regency etiquette and flirts with gardeners and gentlemen;or maybe even, she suspects, with the actors who are playing them. It's all a game, Jane knows. And yet the longer she stays, the more her insecurities seem to fall away, and the more she wonders: Is she about to kick the Austen obsession for good, or could all her dreams actually culminate in a Mr. Darcy of her own?
Austenland seems like such a cute book. It's definitely one I've had my eyes on for a while now!

I picked up Austenland too this week! Of course, I forgot to mention it in my post. I can't wait to read it though. I'm also really excited about the movie.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :)
I think I've seen the movie adaptation of this. If it was this book then I can assure you that it'll be funny and off the rocker quirky. Enjoy the time travel, Kendall!
