Oh I see!!
Well I will answer your message ASAP and can't wait to hear your thoughts on it and then Emma afterwards!!!

Megan | 92 comments @Steph: Yes, Dickens is so good! I'm thinking of reading Great Expectations eventually. I'm sure it won't disappoint. :)

Now reading The Princess Bride by William Goldman! It's the 25th anniversary edition, so the author's comments and such take up 50+ pages before the story even begins. And being the person that I am, I like to take in the "full experience". Never even having watched the movie doesn't help get through it as fast either. Often, I don't know half of it what Goldman is talking about! All these characters! Guess I'll find out soon enough...

I figured he was my fave and they had it at the library, so it was a good place to start.

Yes. It is a good place. I can recommend which of the others are good too!! Let me know what you think!!

Ashley Townsend "Of Poseidon." Soooo good.

I was thinking of reading that, but I'm a little unsure. People have recommended it as something to read after Percy Jackson. But I don't know...

Now I'm reading The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus, #1) by Rick Riordan for the first time! So excited!

Now I'..."

Hmm. I've never actually read the Percy Jackson books, but "Of Poseidon" can definitely stand on its own. Loved the concept, characters, and it wasn't super cheesy, either, when dealing with the whole mermaid thing. Definitely worth reading. I am so adding "The Lost Hero" to my que. Thanks!

I'm still reading Return to Harmony, cause I didn't do much reading while I was gone.

Will be Henry Tilney's diary!!
Brandon's was great!! Like you said Nicole!! If anyone is unsure about Brandon, feels he is a minor character and is low on your list of heroes, read his diary and your opinion will change, I am sure of it!! Mine did!! Love Brandon so much more now!!

ALICE - READ THEM!!! THEY ARE SO GOOD!! Brandon is now one of my favourites...

And Nicole!! So glad you told me about them. I have Tilney, Bertram (and Wickham left) which there was a Ferrars or Bingley!! I contacted Amanda Grange and she replied. She told me of a new book she has got coming out soon.
She wrote "You might like to know that I have a new book coming out in August called Dear Mr Darcy. It's an epistolary retelling of Pride and Prejudice. I found very interesting to write as there is speculation that Jane Austen used this form for the first version of Pride and Prejudice. She reworked the book over a number of years, until it ended up as the novel we now know and love, but with Dear Mr Darcy I've given a glimpse of what the original version might have looked like."
Sounds interesting... :)
