I really wanted to give this five stars, it's my favorite of Austen's novels excepting Northanger Abbey, but the idea that Fanny was oh, so fortunately raised by those who would be her family, that her husband influenced her opinions, temper, and worldview is beyond creepy. I can get over the cousin aspect but the molding of the perfect wife very nearly ruined it for me.

Book Favorite

"A narrative which would give you the chills. It was written four hundred years before Christ and it talks about how human nature is always the enemy of anything superior. Thucydides writes about how words in his time have changed from their ordinary meaning, how actions and opinions can be altered in the blink of an eye. It’s like nothing has changed from his time to mine."

Recently had some great feedback from @Eleanor regarding the 'Fiction & Poetry' Book category/genre.

Do you think that Fiction should be a category in itself, or do you think that fiction books should fit into the other categories/genres?

Would love to hear opinions in the comments to!


Fiction should be a stand-alone category
The Books should fit into other categories

I have been roleplaying for basically as long as I have been able to talk. I have opinions and I am always happy to help new gamers (and old gamers) talk things through to make the sessions at their gaming table better and more enjoyable for everyone.

Feel free to post roleplaying content, questions, pictures of your games, gaming tables, shelfies and anything else that people might enjoy.

Where I find my next book
I love book reads, I log on daily to look at reviews for books I am interested on and to leave reviews for the books I have read. I like being able to read reviews from other readers like myself and not just reviews from other authors or in the media. I feel I get a more realistic opinion from my peers.

This was a beautiful take on a lot of powerful themes - love, loss, and life. I appreciated it even though I'm not a dancer which I believes speaks for the book itself. The language was lyrical and I enjoyed how everything came full circle in the end.

A truly great read. The books devels into a very raw topic, that seriously divides people and shows both sides of the arguement, the thoughts of those pro choice and those pro life, while at the same time telling a wonderful and moving story that really engages the reader. I couldn't put this down

This is a perfect short read for bedtime. A fun story about Mama Graciela, her bacalaitos fritos (codfish fritters which everyone should eat as we here at home love to make them) and her many cats. The story is enthusiastic and I loved the illustrations. -YA/NA Book Divas
