Austenland by Shannon Hale

Did not finish book.

Colin Firth is nice and all, but Jennifer Ehle is the real eye candy 🍬🍭🍬🍭 in the whole bloody BBC universe. I'm an Austenite to the very marrow, which is why I'm mildly insulted that JA's beautiful brain child has been subjugated to this drivel.
And, might I add, the glorifi ation of (a beautifully written character like) Mr. Darcy is an afront to all lesbian sensibilities.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 29%.

Her big "gift" from the gods is the expectation to roll over and pump out babies??

& Then I saw the whole next book is in first person.... Not my favourite POV; I need a break before I jump back in
