I am falling in L-O-V-E with Jane Austen, like I never thought possible! I chose Northanger Abbey as my next Austen book to read, because, well, I thought it sounded neat.
Then, I read the back, and I was hooked!
I stormed through that book in three days! Though, truthfully, it really isn't that big.
I loved the characters and the setting (I really want to go to Bath, England now!) and I love how the premise of the entire story is about a young woman's imagination getting the best of her.
Because I never have that problem *sheepish grin!*
My only complaint, is that it does not actually get to the plot/climax of the book until chapter 24 out of 30! The first 23 chapters were basically the characters walking around talking, and I was waiting for the drama to commence.

I LOVE Jane Austen! I haven't read Northanger Abbey yet though, so I'll have to get that one next!
I have to second Callie. I LOVE Jane Austen as well!
I'm glad you are enjoying reading again.
BTW: Have I told you lately that I really like the music on your blog? Especially that "Keep Breathing" song...
