Welcome, Cathy! I hope you enjoy the reviews and other things I post on here. :) I don't read a lot of Jane Austen sequels/prequels/inspired by her books, but these diaries by Amanda Grange have been very good!
ReplyDeleteI will visit your blog! :) Thanks for coming by. :)
And btw...if my first comment was emailed to you and not deleted...I'm sorry for calling you Cindy. :P I was thinking Cindy instead of Cathy for some reason!
Thanks Charity! I'll have to check out this authors books and thanks for coming by my blog too! :)
ReplyDeleteI poked through the end of this one just to see if the author thought up anything interesting as far as conversation goes...as Mansfield Park itself rather rushed through that. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf people count scandals as "exciting events", I'd say MP is more exciting than the others. ha ha ha!
(Not that I care for that sort of exciting much myself! But it was interesting.)
I'm reading Wentworth's diary right now. Very enjoyable, it is. :)
Melody, it definitely did have more scandal than the others! It wasn't a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading Wentworth's...should be fun. :)
Did you know she also wrote one for Wickham? Our library doesn't have it, and I don't think I'll request it unless I actually read a good review, but.
