Mandy (mandyverd) Update: I've just completed E for 12/26!

I recommend Emma to those who want a light-hearted, fun piece of Victorian literature. It is a comedy of manners, which seems to mean that polite wording and allusion are preferred to over direct conversation, which creates a lot of misinterpretation and general confusion. Considering that it is about a bunch of young, single stereotypical characters of the age, trying to make friendships and marriageable connections, you're in for quite the series of blunders. One minute you're face-palming and shaking your head, the next you are cheering on the right matches.

Emma by Jane Austen Emma by Jane Austen

I'd say it should count as 3 if you link them here separately, add the specific titles and put the omnibus at the bottom of the post.

message 848: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Completed my "V" selection - The Art of Baking Blind by Sarah Vaughan. To be perfectly clear, I read an advanced reader's copy, so if issues were fixed in editing, my comments might not apply. I really enjoyed this book and the characters! However, the book seemed disjointed which could easily be fixed by adding some headings and transitional phrases. Overall, worth reading! 3.5 stars
