Sharon's Recent Updates

Inferno by Dan Brown
I'm embarrassed to say that I've read and enjoyed every book in this series. They are nothing more than cheap sensationalism. The history is shaky, and the science is worse. The writing is overblown in a way a good teacher should have prevented long...more

Speaking from Among the Bones by Alan Bradley
Speaking from Among the Bones (Flavia de Luce, #5 )
by Alan Bradley (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
The latest in an adorable mystery series with an 11-year-old sleuth.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Elijah Wood's narration of the audio version is spectacular.
Sharon rated a book 3 of 5 stars
The Making of a Marchioness by Frances Hodgson Burnett
It's a romance novel and a melodramatic one at that, but I was amused by it. Written in Victorian times by the author of The Secret Garden and Little Lord Fauntleroy, it's a treat for anyone interested in the history of popular fiction.

Jane's Fame by Claire Harman
It's just okay as a biography, but I did enjoy the overview of Jane Austen in popular culture.

What Matters in Jane Austen? by John Mullan
I really enjoyed this book. I found it both enjoyable and informative. I recommend reading Austen's novels before reading Mullan, though. I'm not sure his analysis of the novels would mean much otherwise.

A Jane Austen Education by William Deresiewicz
I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could. I liked the parts about Jane Austen. I wasn't crazy about the rest, and since this is a memoir, there was quite a bit of other stuff.
