Back in October, I did a review of the 90's movie Clueless staring Alicia Silverstone and as it turns out, that movie was based on Jane Austen's comedy Emma. At the time, I had never read Emma and had only seen the movie version with Gwyneth Paltrow, a movie which, while accurate to the book,... Continue Reading →
Myfanwy is easily the most puzzling figure in the history of Terradraconis. Though presenting herself as a human maid, it was clear from the beginning that she was more than she seemed. Her beauty was unearthly, her power great as she brought healing to the land, and she spoke the language of the gods which... Continue Reading →
I don't know about you, but Sense and Sensibility is extremely underrated. It is one of Jane Austen's greatest works that is second only to Pride and Prejudice (which remains my favorite Jane Austen novel).

Unbeknownst to me, Jane Austen is actually celebrated for two weeks out of the year, with the first week being Jane Austen Regency Week, which takes place in late June and the Jane Austen festival which is happening right now until September 22 in Bath, England.

To be fair, good relationships... Continue Reading →

However, I’m not completely heartless; I still enjoy a good love story now and again in a book when it’s not completely contrived. So let’s talk about how I think a romance should...

Yesterday, I wrote a post about how modern books are becoming incredibly tropey and how annoying those tropes have become. After writing that post, I started thinking about the tropes that I hate and compiled this list. While some of these are tropes that I hate in general, I would just like to say that...

I was at lunch the other day with my cousin at a restaurant when our conversation switched from school to books, particularly young adult novels. While I haven't read a lot of young adult novels since I was 14, my cousin has and it's something that I have been thinking about ever since. Why are... Continue Reading →
