My friend, Katie, recommended a book called "Austenland" by Shannon Hale (author of the Princess Academy). So I'm here to recommend it to all you Jane Austen lovers out there. It was a fun, cute, quick read that I enjoyed. Definitely a chick book. It's about a young women, Jane, in her early thirties who is having a hard time finding Mr. Right due to the fact she compares everyone to Mr. Darcy. One of my favorite lines: "I don't think I could explain it to a man. If you were a woman, all I'd have to say is 'Colin Firth in a wet shirt' and you'd say, 'Ah.'"

I've read all of Shannon Hales books and didn't this one existed. Yeah!! I'm going to have to bring it up with my book club for February. Thanks!
