A good book, but I still prefer the Lizzie Bennet Diaries
3.5 stars I have mentioned more than once my immense fondness and love for the YouTube series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. I read the companion book about Lizzie, and the sequel of sorts, about Lydia. I was of the opinion that Pride and Prejudice had been modernised pretty successfully already. But as we have seen in the last few years with the many different iterations of Sherlock Holmes, in films, books and TV, a really good thing can inspire a lot of different interpretations. Eligible […]

We interrupt this Star Wars binge to bring you some Regency romance
Hoyden: (n) a boisterous, bold, and carefree girl; a tomboy. Emma Harlow has built quite a reputation in London.

Some can find their way back from it, […]
Julien-Shaped Shrug
Worst Read of the Year Contender! All-around good person, Kate, runs a local food bank. Desperate for funds, she makes a local TV appearance asking for donations. Her storefront is delighted to receive a recurring anonymous monthly donation of $1,000. It always arrives in a paper bag and Kate delights in dumping the money out. If it’s singles and the local peeler bar is taking contributions, it might work. If it’s $5 or $10 bills, it’s still vaguely okay, but if the bills are any […]
