May Book: Austenland

For the May B&B we will be reading Austenland by Shannon Hale.

We plan to meet May 23rd at 8:30 PM at Nicole McDermott's home. Check back for changes

The West Jordan Library is holding several copies of the book for our group. Check the hold area under Nicole McDermott.

The book is a fun, easy, and fast (208 pages) read!

Here is the books description from Amazon:

Jane is a young New York woman who can never seem to find the right man—perhaps because of her secret obsession with Mr. Darcy, as played by Colin Firth in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. When a wealthy relative bequeaths her a trip to an English resort catering to Austen-obsessed women, however, Jane’s fantasies of meeting the perfect Regency-era gentleman suddenly become more real than she ever could have imagined. Is this total immersion in a fake Austenland enough to make Jane kick the Austen obsession for good, or could all her dreams actually culminate in a Mr. Darcy of her own?
