A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Lydia Bennet's Story - Jane Odiwe

I figured this book would be one I would either love or hate right off the bat.  I normally don't touch the sequels to Pride and Prejudice, they just don't measure up to the original Jane Austen.

I didn't get that far into this one before I realized that Lydia is one of my least favorite characters.  She's immature, vain and a real pain in the rear to those around her.  This book is set up as her diary, and it just got on my nerves.  She irritated me in the movie, she irritated me in the book, and to round out the trend, she irritated me in this sequel.

Deleted!  Poor, stupid Lydia! (so saith her sister in the movie, I tend to agree)
