"Miles To Go"

Here you go with another book that I have read. I just finished reading Richard Paul Evans' book called "Miles to Go." It is part of "The Walk Series." I don't know how many books this series will have but it is definitely a book worth reading. Richard Paul Evans is a good author. This book is kind of sneaky. I would think, oh I will just read to the end of this chapter and then I would find myself reading the chapter after that. I guess you can say that it is another book that I did not want to put down too much. The friend who loaned it to me, said that this book is slower than the first book, "The Walk." I found them both to be compelling and interesting. Of course, I have to wait until next year for the next one to come out. And of course, it ended with a big question mark!! (or should I do this ??) It ended leaving me totally wondering... Who is this in the book?

As a side note as well... this book makes me curious how the author researched for this book. Maybe I will have to look that up as well. It is an interesting concept, a man that starts to walk. He starts out with not much at all. He finds a lot along the way, surprisingly builds relationships and learns things about himself and others. All in all this is a good book and I am looking forward to the next one in the series to come out in April of 2012.

"The Dashwood Sisters Tell All"

Last Friday, I started reading "The Dashwood Sisters Tell All." Well later, in the day I finished reading this book. I read it on the bus to and from work, then I was doing laundry and just could not put it down. I stayed up late to get it done. It is so fun to have a book to read like that. Something I just can't put down!

My mom used to say that I should not read so fast.

Some books I just can't stop until I am done and this was one of them. This author has some other books along the Austen theme that are great as well. The others are "Jane Austen Ruined My Life" and "Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart."

This was a book about sisters(of course!), romance, discovering yourself, and some Jane Austen facts thrown in. After reading this, it makes me want to do a tour like the sisters did in this book and see those sights in England.
