Book twenty-five: Austenland by Shannon Hale

Quirky, cute, romantic. If you are familiar with Austen's works or have yourself fantasized about Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy, you must read this delightful pleasure of a book. The premise, unlucky in love Jane has developed quite the attachment to the very unavailable Colin Firth by way of her Pride and Prejudice dvd after her many failed attempts at relationships. Enter the wealthy benefactor, who bequeath's to Jane a vacation at an English manor in which the participants become Austen-like characters and live as they did in her times. Pure fun. What's more, there's a movie coming out. (Sadly, Colin Firth was not cast in it.)

25 down plus 27 to go.
