If you're new to Write Well Me, read this to understand why I tell you what I'm reading. :-)
I finished The Hunt and Bloody Bones, and before I weakened and bought the next Anita Blake book, I started Northanger Abbey. As always, I read the introduction before I started Chapter 1, and I learned more about Jane Austen. Northanger Abbey is actually a younger novel, although it was published after her death. I haven't gotten very far into it, but the forecast looks clear.
In researching Jane more, I came across the Jane Austen's World blog.
Because it's about Austen, and the writing is excellent, I was hooked. Here's the beginning of Ms. Place's post on a film adaptation of Mansfield Park:
I’ve wracked my brains trying to come up with kind things to say about this 2007 production of Mansfield Park. ‘Nice mansion.’ ‘Pretty garden.’ ‘Glad they shot this film in England.’ ‘Where can I get a red Jezebel parasol like Mary Crawford’s?’ ‘Cute pug.’ ‘Great cleavage.’
