Anne at Modern Mrs. Darcy hosts a monthly link-up for sharing casual, tweet-sized book reviews.
Revenge Wears Prada :: Lauren Weisberger
Enjoyed the movie, tried reading the sequel.
Meh premise.
Meh unfolding.
Happy (I guess?) ending.
Mostly meh.

A Jane Austen Education :: William Deresiewicz
Fun to look at Austen through the eyes of a grad student much in need of some growing up and polishing.
A lot more insightful than I expected.
Made me want to read through Austen this year.
Lucky I can do that with a whole gaggle of ladies here.

The Tao of Martha :: Jen Lancaster
Oh, Jen Lancaster.
Bitterly funny (note: avoid if you have a weak stomach for potty language), blunt, easy to relate to...and not, which is half the fun.
Sad in the middle (spoiler: her puppy dies), but the hilarity involving glitter, trick-or-treating, Easter egg hunts, and doomsday prepping will leave a smile on your face.

I love A Jane Austen Education. I think that one needs to go on the re-read list.
