My top thoughts: I have incredibly mixed feelings about Tear You Apart. I think that you have to really KNOW your fairy tales to fully appreciate this book – and I do not. However, the last 30% was so incredibly gripping and grim (pun intended) that I almost would give the book 4 stars. It […]

We’re going back to that as the basis, with some seasonal twists. At the end of each season, reviews entered in the review linky […]
Note: I actually have a bound collectors edition of all Jane Austen’s books and I read Persuasion from that. I’m just borrowing this cover for the post, since I don’t have a cover for just Persuasion to share. My top thoughts: This is one of the only Jane Austen books (maybe only?) that I hadn’t read so […]
