Awesome August Book Photo Challenge Day 20: Book Recommendations

Awesome August Book Photo Challenge Day 20: Book Recommendation; well I of course do not have just one. Lol. So here are some of my top faves all by women. 

1) Girl Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen is her recollections of being in a mental institution as a young adult in the 70's. It's nothing at all like the movie. 

2) Austenland by  Shannon Hale is a surprising sweet, funny chic lit read. In this book Jane goes on the vacation of a lifetime. She also finds love along the way. 

3) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen; what's not to love about this book. It's about falling in love with the most unlikely of persons. 

4)A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness; I am head over heels In love with this series. It has it all, vampires, witches, mysteries, romance, and danger. 

My most resent eBook Purchase....Midnight In Austenland (Austenland #2) by Shannon Hale

Here is the synopsis:

When Charlotte Kinder treats herself to a two-week vacation at Austenland, she happily leaves behind her ex-husband and his delightful new wife, her ever-grateful children, and all the rest of her real life in America. She dons a bonnet and stays at a country manor house that provides an immersive Austen experience, complete with gentleman actors who cater to the guests' Austen fantasies.

Everyone at Pembrook Park is playing a role, but increasingly, Charlotte isn't sure where roles end and reality begins. And as the parlor games turn a little bit menacing, she finds she needs more than a good corset to keep herself safe. Is the brooding Mr. Mallery as sinister as he seems? What is Miss Gardenside's mysterious ailment? Was that an actual dead body in the secret attic room? And-perhaps of the most lasting importance-could the stirrings in Charlotte's heart be a sign of real-life love?

The follow-up to reader favorite Austenland provides the same perfectly plotted pleasures, with a feisty new heroine, plenty of fresh and frightening twists, and the possibility of a romance that might just go beyond the proper bounds of Austen's world. How could it not turn out right in the end?
