    Summer | 20 Books of Summer

    August 5, 2020 /

    The 20 Books of Summer Reading Challenge was created and is hosted by Cathy at 746 Books. You can find my full TBR here, and keep reading for my thoughts on Summer by Edith Wharton. I do reveal details about the main characters and the plot that are not present in the summary, so my discussion does contain spoilers.

    From My Bookshelf: Mansfield, Beasts, Charlotte

    October 25, 2017 /

    We all know the timeless adage “don’t judge a book by its cover.” As a book lover, though, I practice that in just about every area of my life except books. The following three picks From My Bookshelf are proof of that: Mansfield Park, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (screenplay), and Charlotte’s Web and Other Illustrated Classics. The charm of their covers isn’t the only reason I purchased them, but it certainly makes me treasure them more.

    Eligible and Modern Retellings of Jane Austen

    January 15, 2017 /

    Book reviewer Ron Charles from The Washington Post simply describes my reaction to hearing about The Austen Project, a series of Jane Austen novels retold by modern bestselling authors, in his review of Eligible, the modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice: [Mrs. Bennett has] the right idea when she says, “I’ve always far preferred a good book.” We already have that book. We’ve had it for 200 years. And it’s worth rereading.

    Shorter, Condensed, Succinct, Abridged

    July 24, 2016 /

    My trip to the library on Friday started with slight disappointment but ended with a flurry of thoughts about what we – as readers, scholars, editors, people of the present – do to and with literature of the past. First, the disappointment.

    February Reading Challenge: Anna Karenina

    March 4, 2016 /

    My desire to get through this Leo Tolstoy creation is red hot; unfortunately my success with doing so is as non-existent as a flame in an outdoor fireplace buried under four feet of snow. I have tried reading this novel over and over and over again, and while I did get further this month than I have during previous attempts, I still could not get through the seven hundred and fifty four pages of this particular edition.
