Wedding Under the Big Top

Have you read Water for Elephants? If not, you've got to pick up a copy and get to it! It's a wonderful drama-filled historical love story. The setting is an old-fashioned circus during the Depression-era. When I saw this wedding on 100 Layer Cake, I was immediately reminded of the book. I'm loving the details and the old-world charm.

Reading Recommendation

I'm just about finished reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Have you read it? Over the summer, I saw this book in the hands of many beach readers. My mom, grandma, and a few friends have read the story, and each of them recommends it. Now, I am passing the recommendation on to you!

Adding Austen to the Reading List

I love to read. Shame, however, hangs over my head as I admit that I have never read a Jane Austen novel. How could I pass up such classic tales? When I am through with my current book (The Help, by Kathryn Stockett -- have you read it?), I plan to introduce myself to Jane Austen's characters. I currently own a large hardcover filled with 3 of Austen's lovely stories, but check out these gorgeous books! The cover designs are so wonderful. I think they'd look nice on any bookshelf. For now, I'll stick my 3-in-1 Austen collection, but if I fall in love with her writing, I might have to add these to my collection.

Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility
