I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

Persuasion by Jane Austen


This is my second favorite book of Jane Austen's collection. I love the character of Anne Elliot and how she is constantly trying to please everyone, despite the consequences to herself. However, she realizes how much she loves Captain Wentworth and does not stop caring for him. I love the way the plot unravels and the relationship between Anne and Wentworth grows.

I must also say that one of my favorite passages is when Sir Walter Elliot describes the men and women in Bath. I could read it over and over again and continue laughing. The author does such a wonderful job of making him a pompous pain. And Miss Elliot, oh I am happy she ends up alone. I cannot wait to re-read this later on!!
