Future literary classic
In 100 years time the Harry Potter books will be taught in schools and studied in universities the way current students study Dickens and Austen. Whilst not being the greatest piece of writing ever it is a perfect starting point for young readers to begin their journey through the myriad world's of books.

I’ve always believed that you should read the book before it becomes a movie, and I couldn’t be more insistent in the case of “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.” If you read my recently revised review of this book on my blog here, you might understand why I’m avoiding seeing it, at least for now. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/08/01/an-occupied-island-and-unusual-occupations/

Deborah (162 KP) rated Jane Austen Out of the Blue in Books

Even now I've finished it, I'm not entirely sure what to make of this one. It's a sequel of sorts to Sanditon, but includes other Austen characters and even the shade of the author herself, following her death. Nothing happens as you might expect and there's not really a very strong narrative drive through it. On one level I think it serves as a disection of the novel as a literary form. Strange.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated My Counterfeit Self in Books
Oct 5, 2020
What does poetry have to do with social activism? A whole lot, actually, as you'll find out in Jane Davis's novel "My Counterfeit Self" and through my #bookreview of this historical, contemporary, women's literary fiction novel on my blog now. (I think this has just become my favorite of her books, as it just edged out "Smash All the Windows" by a whisker!)<br/>https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/05/11/a-poetically-explosive-story/<br/>
