Pride & Prejudice!

Hey Bloggers! I'm all about Classical novels this week!

 

 

This has got to be the ultimate classical female fiction right?! I love it! I adore the film also, I watch it every Christmas! :) Anyways, I'm writing a piece of coursework on Pride&Prejudice and although normally if I watch the film of a novel I'm totally unable to read the book afterwards it just ruins it! vise versa too! I cant read the novel then watch the film it just irritates me if they miss a specific part of the novel out then I've wasted my money because I didn't like it! But with Pride&Prejudice I'm completely loving it i think it's Jane Austen's style of writing i adore i may have to read a few others of hers!

What's even better is that I bought the study addition so it has extra margin room to write notes and has pointers all the way through which I loved as it really helped me understand certain aspects of the novel. I was so excited when it came through the post which was literally like 2 days after ordering it (that's amazon for ya!) as I was entirely expecting it to be so big and useful. The initial storyline of Pride & Prejudice is genius it's the typical love hate relationship between "Darcy" and "Lizzy" but also the fact that Jane Austen uses dialogue as a way of describing and characterising her characters is a huge love from me because personally many authors in our present time spend too much time describing and describing and describing their characters and it really bores me!

This was just a little post as i was really excited and happy with myself for reading a classic novel and loving it as there aren't many I like!
Thanks for reading!
Love y'all

The Dark Garden by Eden bradley

Hey bloggers!

I've recently bought a few bargain's from Asda! :) they do a 2 for 7 pound deal which is always good when the books usual price is 7.99! I'm always up for a bargain! Especially when it comes to books!

In my bargain buy I bought "The Dark Garden" by Eden Bradley, excuse the very poor quality of my photo!

You see I'm a bit of an impulse buyer if i like the sound of the first line or the look of the cover I buy! not even kidding i am ridiculous when it comes to something I love! This book seem to be quite humorous, mysterious yet maybe a tad erotic according to the blerb! I've read 50 shades and enjoyed them but didn't see why everyone was so excited/amazed at and frankly the last book was rushed if you ask me! But we aren't on about 50 shades we're on about 'The Dark Garden' which is a very raunchy, erotic book which I really did not expect! Don't get me wrong I haven't finished reading it yet but I got it yesterday and only have a few chapters left it's very likable and intriguing because it has a cute story, an erotic story and a dark story all wrapped into one.

If you liked 50 shades maybe you should read this it's not a copycat like most of the other stories out lately! But it does have elements of BDSM!
Oh! and I saw Jackie Collins new novel "The Powertrip" in ASDA and I'll still refuse to pay 10 pound, I know I'm going to read it in less than a day or two and I'm very unsure on whether I'll like it so whats the point!

So, I've finished it and it's a really good story line but I'm unsure on how there's going to be a second one unless it's about other characters but based on BDSM I'm not too sure! I liked the fact there were two different types of a love story and the growth of the characters it was an enjoyable read that I would really recommend! It's not just hardcore sex and it doesn't have cringey words that some poor books have it wad appropriate and I appriciated that because the one thing I detest in some books is if they use crude common words, we all know what I'm on about; I just personally think it ruins a book. On more than one occasion I've stopped reading a book due to this gross problem!

Sorry it's a short 'un! thought I'd tell you what I'm reading and see what you all think! :)
Thanks for reading guys!

Yes Jackie No Jackie?

So I'm wondering whether to read Jackie Collins new book "The Power Trip" I've read quite a few if not all of her books but I'm not sure how far this one can go? And personally I don't wanna pay £16.99 for a book! I'm used to cheap books i enjoy not a book i might not enjoy for a lot of money! Don't get me wrong if I really wanted to read it I would buy it but at that price it's a little much is it not? maybe I should just wait until it goes down in price! what can i say I'm a student I'm constantly on a budget!

But then i also keep thinking all her other books have been amazing so maybe I'm over reacting about the money situation and maybe I should just save up and see what all the fuss is about! Because you see if read 50 shades when it wasn't popular and was pretty cheap on my kindle so it never cost me a lot! I think it was about £8 for all three which i read in three days which is ridiculous i know!

I'm one of them readers that will read anything as long as I really into it :) so i guess i should give it a chance eh? money or no money! I'll post if I have read it or if iIhaven't! but gimme some ideas should I read it or shouldn't I? Does it deserve to go on my bookshelf?

sorry it was short!
love y'all
