Pride and Prejudice

It has been a VERY long time since I wrote on my blog.  Life has been busy, like every one else, and it just got away from me!  Recently, I joined PaperBackSwap.com and I absolutely love it!! You get to list books you will not read again and for every book someone requests from you, you get to go on the site and request a book you want from someone else.  All you pay is the nominal fee to ship your books to those who want them.  It is a great way to get books you don't want to go out and pay full price for and to get rid of books you won't read again.

One of the books I requested was Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.  Believe it or not, I had never read this classic.  I've watched the movie with Keira Knightley, but never read the unabridged version of the book.  It was AMAZING!! I love the English way of talking and it's fun to read.  I found myself wanting to talk like them in my every day conversations!! I just love the main character, Elizabeth Bennett, and her mother is hilarious.  Mr. Darcy, of course, is mysteriously captivating and you can't help but fall in love with Elizabeth's sweet sister, Jane.

This is a must read for every adult and older teenage girl. Happy Reading!
