Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Rating: ★★★★★
Reading Dates: July 6 – 11
Read Count: 2
Favorite Thing: Regency Snark™
Least Favorite Thing: Lizzie’s mom is even more annoying in the books than she is in the screen adaptations and I had completely forgotten that. That is, she’s just as annoying, but she’s more long-winded in the novel.
I know a lot of people find classics dull, and granted there are quite a few incredibly dull classic novels, but this book is worth a read. There are many scenes that had me laughing out loud and calling other people to read a bit to them so they could appreciate it too.

Favorite Thing: “It was 6:21.”
Least Favorite Thing: Casual racism…yikes.
I should be posting a Raven Cycle post soon to talk about the series as a whole.
As for this one… The Unmaker gives me anxiety, I love all the Pynch, and Maggie really didn’t do Henry Cheng justice. Oh, and I’m proud of the Gray Man.

I’m working on a review, hopefully have it up soon. I do definitely recommend this book. It’s easy to get through, but don’t expect a lot of action.
