I am not supposed to be reading for pleasure right now... But I am awaiting feedback on a draft of a big paper I am writing for school, so I thought it would be OK to switch gears for a day or two so I could clear my mind to start on the next draft.
And I picked up Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler at the library today, so there is no real force that could stop me from reading! I am 10 chapters in, and still distracted by the fact that the main character can't decide if she is dreaming, or time travelled, or switched bodies, or possibly crazy. There is enough Jane Austen that if you didn't know the lexicon, it could be confusing (That's for you Jackie :-), but so far not enough for me- I can't tell if the story is going to parallel a known plot, or just be content to drop in place and people names as a connection. And the main character is supposed to be an addict, but I don't feel it yet. And there haven't been any confessions....
But there are some characters, and some developing situations that could work. It is hard to say when I am in the middle, and I am influenced by two reviews I read (one good, the other not so much) so I will continue. Even if I saw a terrible review of a JA related book I would read it (well, if I could get it free from my library).
