Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë are two of the greatest female authors to have ever lived. Charlotte Brontë, having been born a year before Austen died, was familiar with her work and famously said of Pride and Prejudice in a letter to George Henry Lewes in January 1848: “Miss Austen being, as you say, without 'sentiment,'...

If any of you guys have been with me since I first started my blog (thank you if you have been), you'll know that one of the first book reviews I ever wrote on here was a review of Charlotte Bronte's book, Jane Eyre, a book that I thoroughly disliked for what I saw to... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I did one of these posts. The last OG story series was either The Tale of Myfanwy back in December or The Spotlight (which was hilarious). Thus, with this month's theme of exploring stories set around the Regency era, I figured that I should post a short story that I... Continue Reading →
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). While Pride and Prejudice focused more on the psychological aspects of love and attraction, Sense and Sensibility shows two extremes... Continue Reading →
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. Who knew that the Jane Austen fandom was that... Continue Reading →
Last Christmas, I asked for a series of books that a friend of mine suggested called "The Millie Series". According to Amazon, that series is about a Christian farm girl growing up during the time of the Civil War, having to learn lessons about trusting God while growing up or something. I ended up not... Continue Reading →
I've talked quite a bit on the romance genre recently and while I've given a lot of examples of bad romantic relationships in books and given advice on how to actually write a healthy relationship, I don't think I've really given an example of what a good relationship looks like. To be fair, good relationships... Continue Reading →
As you guys know, I am not the type of person who likes love-triangles or many other lovey-dovey type tropes in books. 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...
