As most of you know, I am not a fan of the way romance is treated in literature today. I like a story about a cute couple as much as anyone, but when things like rape and unhealthy obsession are portrayed as totally normal and romantic, and the book is full of so many graphic... Continue Reading →
As many of you know, I'm a Jane Austen nerd. I've written extensively about her books and characters and probably will continue to talk about her work at some point.
