[Random Quotes: p123, para5, next 3 sentences]

I don't know how long I lay there.

Above me the trees moved and sighed in the wind, and there were voices in it.

 

Daughtre of the Forest by Juliet Marillier

[Daughter of the Forest]

I've just got Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier after a recommendation from a friend, anyone else read it? What did you think?

[Audrey Niffenegger - The Time Traveler's Wife]

I really loved this book and thought it was exceptionally well written as it would have been so easy to lose the plot with such a complicated and fragmented use of time, but it always remained completely believable. Only nearly in tears Kell? You did better than me then! :oops:

[Emma by Jane Austen]

I'm a mad Jane Austen fan, I even used my Favourite book by her (Persuassion) as part of my dissertation! I'm currently reading Lady Susan, a very early work of hers.

Emma however, is another favourite of mine, and yes there certainly are jokes! Jane Austen made a living out of making fun of society and its conventions, but she did it in such a cleve and a gentle way, that they didn't mind or perhaps didn't notice! I would wholeheartedly recommend any of her books!
