Review | “The Ladies Rewrite the Rules”, by Suzanne Allain
You know I absolutely adore a historical romance, particularly if it is set within the Regency in Britain.

Rereading Jane Austen | Persuasion
It’s an important day in the Jane Austen calendar today – 245 years since her death in 1817.

Rereading Jane Austen | Pride and Prejudice
To continue my rereading Austen series (find my blog on Sense and Sensibility here), here are my thoughts on Austen’s second novel, and my favourite, Pride and Prejudice.

Rereading Jane Austen | Sense and Sensibility

March 2020 in Review
March has been a crazy month the whole world over. When I set myself the theme of Reading Women for Women’s History Month, I didn’t know we’d be ending the month with plenty of time at home to spend on reading books by women, about women’s history and women’s studies. So I think I’ll be read more
