It has been a while since I have read a new book. Lately, I've been rereading books that I have and take my time because... well, I already know the ending. I ordered Midnight in Austenland by Shannon Hale last week. Remember? Me and Shannon are BFF's. I love almost all of her books. She's such an entertaining author.
Anyway, I forgot a lot of what comes from buying a brand new book. I opened the package and smelled the book. Yes, smelled it. If you haven't done this, you probably should. There is nothing like smelling the pages and ink of a brand new book! Or opening it for the first time and hearing the crack of the stretched binding.
Okay, I'm a nerd. But I do love those things.
The number one thing that I love about getting a new, never been read before, never seen the movie before book is...... I stayed up until 2 a.m. because I couldn't put it down. I read it in less than two days. It has been years since I have experienced that.
All in all, if you like Austenland, you will like this book. If you like Shannon Hale's humor, you will like this book. If you like love stories, you will like this book.
It is different from Austenland in the fact that there's a murder mystery twist. But, who doesn't like to try to sniff out a culprit?
If you get the book, I'm sure you won't regret it.

I can't wait to read it! I just finished the Actor and the Housewife today and LOVED it. SO GOOD. Thanks for letting me borrow it.
When do you get your endorsement check? ;) When I get back in the mood to read, yes I've been a book snob as of late...I will pick it up. Cute post.
I'm so glad you were able to read it. I'm such a looser for forgetting to tell you about it every time I talked to you. I loved it.
