That letters to pop stars book sounds hilarious. I know that they must get some unbelievably crazy fan mail and their responses must be priceless. Happy reading!

Nicki, I wish you more happy reading this week. It is lovely to hear you enjoyed Juliet Stevenson’s reading of Pride & Prejudice. I have not tried an audiobook of Austen’s work yet, so will keep this in mind. ๐
Here’s my WWW post for this week: https://thebookwormchronicles.wordpress.com/2023/02/08/%f0%9f%93%9a-what-i-have-been-reading-this-month-january-2023-wwwwednesday/ ๐

Thanks! I’m glad Juliet Stevenson was the narrator, as she kept me from DNF’ing it!

Oh no! Were you not a fan of the story? It is not my favourite Austen, but I still love it.

It was the writing really, and the pace was too slow.

Aw I am sorry to hear that! But I guess it would be dull if we all liked the same things! ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Still listening to True Crime Story, hahahahah! Reading a novel for the CWA prize I’m a judge for, and I finished Freeze by Kate Simants last night! x

๐ Bet that’s exciting being a judge. Or is it a bit of a chore?

Both! I love receiving submissions of books I may not have picked myself, but when the numbers go up and up and up, you can’t read your own books and even cleansing your palate with a different genre is tricky as you have to read allllllll the books!

I’d tired it a couple of times Jo and couldn’t get into it at all. So even though I knew the story from various TV adaptions this was my first time with an Austen novel.

I don’t think I’ve ever read an Austen book before… Although audio might be the way to go; it worked for me with Wuthering Heights at least.
