bright star

i recently came across this movie on netflix. i was in the mood for a jane austen-like period piece and bright star kept being suggested to me. i decided to give it a try and absolutely fell in love with it. the movie centers around the brief love affair between fanny brawne and famous romantic poet john keats. their love letters became the inspiration for his poetry and his stardom.

Currently reading: Emma (Jane Austen)

I thought loved the movie, let's read the book. I'm in a Jane Austen state of mind. Just finished reading Pride and Prejudice, and fell in love with Mr. Darcy yet again.
By the way Mastepiece Classic just finished showing 3 Jane Austin movies, Emma, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey. You can probably catch them online at pbs.com.
Highly recommend!

Currently Reading : Under the Tuscan Sun

Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen......Highly recommend!

I recently finished reading the book "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen.
A circus, an elephant, a complicated love story, and memories...lots of memories.

This book is a real page turner, I couldn't put it down. It had been a long time since I've wanted to actually finish a book. Water for Elephants did it for me.

It's the story of the recently orphaned Jacob, who finds himself on a traveling circus. Here he encounters a whole new way of life that is absolutely fascinating. The story is articulated by the the elderly Jacob who is "either ninety or ninety-three". Throughout the book, we see glimpses of young Jacob at the circus, and elderly Jacob at his retirement home. It was an amazing ride, you get a vivid image of life in the circus, I read that the author did extensive research on traveling circuses.

A fun read, with all the right ingredients for a keeper.
