  • Alright this isn’t like a typical moodboard since I suck at technology, but just pictures I found that fit her aesthetic. Enjoy!

  • I think someone once said in the many Pride and Prejudice discussion boards I perused that Kitty is an introvert trying to copy an extrovert, ie. her sister and mother, and that’s the interpretation I carried through in my own novel. She’s someone who wants to be part of the party and have a good…

  • Obviously Kitty Bennet is the lead, but in the supporting section are the two potential romantic options, Frederick Tilney and Jaimie Morland; finally, best friend, Julia Bertram. You may recognize these names not from P&P, but from other Austen works. Specifically Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park. All were tertiary characters in their respective books, so…

  • I mentioned previously that I finished writing my novel and might start posting excerpts, photo boards, and other stuff if readers wanted. I didn’t get any comments saying yes or no, but I’ve decided to go ahead anyway. Featuring Kitty Bennet is set in modern day after contemporary events of P&P, featuring characters from various…

  • Hi everyone, I just set up a new Contact form on my homepage so if anyone wants to send me a book suggestion, connect or share thoughts of anything I should add to this blog. New book review coming tomorrow, until then happy reading.

Honestly, I forgot it was today, but for anyone who is reading, I hope you enjoy these book reviews and suggestions and that it has potentially added some new and interesting novels to your shelves. I, for one,…

  • Here’s another question that will hopefully spark some discussion. I’ve noticed as I read historical romances that the steam factor increases book by book. I’ll use Joanna Shupe’s Fifth Avenue Rebels as an example as it’s the series that I really began to notice the trend. The first book almost always features a virginal heroine…

  • No review or rankings this time, I just thought I’d put a question out there. I know, it’s unlikely since I don’t get many comments but if you want to comment, please comment!! Anyway, on to my question, in a recent poll on instagram I asked if people prefer historical romance or contemporary romance? Contemporary…

  • 1, 212 books! Or 1, 213. I forgot if added The Making of Gone with the Wind to my count as the last book of the year, and I’m too tired to recount everything again. Still, you read that right. Over a 1,000 books in one year. If you don’t believe look down below at…
