...it was like a chaser, and three days later I'm still delirious.
Austen's dialogue was so absorbing that I felt as though I were seated between Elizabeth and Darcy during their witty exchanges, or strolling alongside them in the country, breathing in the same fresh air as them. And then the film: Kiera Knightley is just beautiful to watch, but add to this an equally beautiful soundtrack and cinematography, and I'm quite simply spellbound.
Now I'm starting to see why England boasts a rich literary tradition; a very different experience indeed. I think this might be my gateway into the later greats such as 'Jane Eyre' and 'Wuthering Heights'. I'm only sorry it took me this long to finally read this wonderful story.
I received my order of Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo in the mail yesterday. I was gifted Six of Crows by a formally close friend years ago and I didn't want to get rid of it so I thought might as well buy the second book so I have the full set.
I finally got around to opening the package today and there's an ad on the cover for the new Netflix show for Shadow & Bone. Except it's not a sticker. It's been permanently printed on the cover and I am so mad. When did this become a norm? I remember years ago when they used to be stickers and removable. I only picked up reading recently again and the first book I buy in years has a permanent reminder for the Netflix show.
So I am about the start “The lady of the lake” by Andrzej Sapkowski, The last book in The Witcher series. I must say I was super excited to read these after watching the first season of the show on Netflix and the books have been absolutely amazing to me. Sadly it’s that time to start the final book and end an epic adventure I was thoroughly enjoying!
