Books Completed

I have finished reading a couple of books that I have mentioned earlier- "Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict" and "These Three Remain." Both books were good in totally different ways, but both related to Jane Austen's books. "Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict" was humorous and modern, portraying a 21st century woman who was somehow transported to Jane Austen's time. The girl wakes up to find her mind is in the body of a woman living in the Regency period. The 21st century self had a loser boyfriend and was used to the modern liberties that women have these days, and yet she finds herself learning much about life and a little more self respect during her stay in Jane's time. It was a fun and entertaining book, although if you are a Jane traditionalist like myself, it might be difficult to get really into the main character since she is more from our times than the Jane Austen characters.

"These Three Remain" was outstanding, and I really recommend it if you like Pride and Prejudice. This book stayed as true to the times as possible, which is pretty amazing considering it was written by a modern day American author. In this last book of her trilogy, the author presents the final portion of the Pride and Prejudice book from Mr. Darcy's perspective. Pamela Aiden adds much to the characters and makes them so likeable and believable. I hope she writes a sequel.
