It's another quick roundup this week, but with some true gems — favorites old and new! Persuasion by Jane Austen: With every reread, this book only grows dearer. Austen's characters are so real, in all their weakness and their strength, and even on this my unknown –nth reread, I laughed and cried with them. Persuasion … Continue reading Reading Roundup #93: The Minuscule Roundup of Book It With Becca

It's a good way … Continue reading Reading Roundup #11: A Comedy of Manners by Gaslight

I also finished one series and... accidentally started another with no end in sight. Oops! Probably appropriate, though, given the book. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this week's fare as … Continue reading Reading Roundup #2: Scandalous Highwaymen? Right Ho, Readers!
