I love ALL THE BOOKS! Okay not all of them, but I really love to read. As evidenced by the fact that I have four bookshelves full of books in my room alone and then a kindle full of even more books. So it's a little hard to pick just one that I love, so I'll just go with the one I'm reading right now:
Northanger Abbey!
I watched the Masterpiece movie adaptation of Northanger Abbey a couple of years ago and totally loved it.
And not just because I was a little bit in love with Henry Tilney:
(Hottie!)
But also it's just a cute story and a great movie for when you're in the mood for Austen-y romancisms. So I saw the book in the kindle store and decided to give it a shot since I liked the other Austen books, and so far it's one of my favorites. It's been a long time since I had read something by Jane Austen and I had forgotten how snarky and sarcastic she is. She interjects a lot of notes to the reader in her chapters about character personalities and they crack me up every time. Her works are very insightful in regards to different facets of human nature, and it's funny how people haven't really changed much in the last 200 years or so. I almost always know someone who reminds me of all of the characters in her books, (except Henry Tilney, if I knew someone like him we'd be married by now :).
In any case, I highly recommend it if you're in the mood for a fun read with a cute love story
and a few laughs. :)
