Jane Austen Reviews

This is a bit of a mixed bag post. I did manage to find my copy of The Mysteries of Udolpho (it did involve a later and a lot of dust), so I’m already to Go Gothic.

I’ve also seen the first episode of Lost in Austen. I liked it – I thought it was fun (plus it’s beautiful to look at).

While I was at the beach, I read Faro’s Daughter by Georgette Heyer. It is the perfect beach read – light, sparkling with all of the period detail we love about Heyer.

Here are some links to reviews and more information about Georgette Heyer

If you like Regency Romances (or just romances in general) you will love this one.

I’ve always wanted to read The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe, but I’ve never managed to finish it or even start it if the truth be told. However, Austenprose have posted a reading schedule as part of their Go Gothic month. There is a lot going on over there – guest bloggers, give aways etc… you should definitely check it out.

Anyway, I must find my copy of Uldopho …
