You know that's usually the case with Austen's books, as PSquared mentioned, it takes a little bit to get into them. But once you start reading you get swept away! Do you think you'll end up joining the book club after all? ;-)
I never got into Pirates of the Caribbean... I mean, yeah Johnny Depp does look hot in an awkward, make me feel uncomfortable kind of way. Otherwise it just didn't captivate me.
So I got Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (Rebecca Wells), The President's Daughter (Mariah Stewart) and Playing for Pizza (John Grisham). Any suggestions on what I should start first?
Couldn't get into Divine Secrets of Ya-Ya Sisterhood. So don't start with that. Don't know about the other two (although president's daughter sounds familiar)....you could eeny, meeny, miney mo it. That's helped me make a lot of decisions in life, LOL, kidding. Playing for Pizza sounds interesting. Start with that first!
