In the process of reading....

Wonderful, wonderful little novel. Although I have to confess to not having read Jane Austen I'm intrigued and perhaps one day I'll pick one up and sit for a spell. Great cast of characters and a beautiful way of weaving the Austen novels into each of the book club members lives.

RELEASE NOTES:

Releasing into my "Books I've Loved and Want To Share" women's bookbox. Happy travels little book!

This bookbox arrived today! I'm taking out this book.

I've never read a single book by Austen. I thought that might interfere with my enjoyment of this book. Maybe it did. I was very happy to see that the author included a brief synopsis of each book they discussed. Of course that would have been more helpful if I hadn't been so bored by the Austen discussions that I skimmed over them. :)

I enjoyed learning more about each book club member and their different lifestyles. I liked the writing style a lot and would probably enjoy reading another book by this author.

Here are some passages from this book that I especially enjoyed:

But by then every word he said was an irritation to her, and he did insist on continuing to talk. --page 35. (I think we've all been there!)

No one with real integrity tries to sell their integrity to you. People with real integrity hardly notice they have it. --page 185.

Thanks for sharing this book. I'm next in line for a women's bookbox. I plan on including this in that box.

Putting this into peaceofpi's Women's Fiction Box.

Caught from the box today.
