Some of my blog readers may remember my reading and reviewing Laurie Viera Rigler's book, 'Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict'. It was a great book, a must read for any Jane Austen fan. Laurie also stopped by my blog for an author interview and giveaway back in September.
Being that I enjoyed her book so much, I included 'Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict' in my top 20 favorite reads of 2008. Laurie sent me an email thanking me for including her book in my favorites list. I thought that was nice of her, its me who should be thanking her, for writing such a fun and clever book. I am eagerly awaiting the
Sequel to Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict coming in Spring of 09.
'As my bedside candles illuminate a page in the precious first edition I hold in my hands, I understand, as I have long understood through my own insatiable appetite for readings and rereadings of Jane Austen's six novels, why children want the same stories read to them a thousand times. There is comfort in the familiarty of it all, in the knowledge that all will turn out well, that Elizabeth and Darcy will end up together in Pemberley, that Anne Eliot will pierce Captain Wenthworth's soul, and that Mr. Elton will be stuck with his 'caro sposa' for the rest of his life.'
