Dog lover, selective fangirl, boy crazy. Dubious gamer cred. Generally nice if impolite. Acknowledged tendency to fall for fictional characters. Collects swear words. Classy yet trashy. Difficulty with commitment.

Quick Synopsis: A young man learns that some of life’s most important lessons can be found in the works of Jane Austen Quick Review: Maybe a bit too constructed to be a true memoir, this is at least an interesting take on Austen and what one guy believes her works say about growing up and becoming a more decent person Read the full review here

Confederates in the Attic

March 12, 2014 by kimberleybear Leave a Comment

Quick Synopsis: A writer travels through the south to explore attitudes about the Civil War Quick Review: A well-written account of southern uniqueness and Civil War history, worth it for anyone with an interest in the war or just southern quirks in general
