Books

CURRENTLY READING:

Mr. Darcy Broke My Heart
Beth Pattilo

Mindless pleasure reading for those few moments between work and more work (e.g. from paid job to housewifely duties). I generally really dislike "fan fiction" in the vein of Jane Austen, but this one caught my attention (I always judge a book by its cover), and while the writing is still sub-par, the storyline is still fairly enjoyable. And, like I said, it's mindless pleasure reading.


Villette
Charlotte Bronte

I am an undying fan of turn-of-the-century novels by female authors with a predilection for governess stories and unlikely romances in tragedy-turned-idyllic settings. I suppose everyone has a weakness. Well, this is one of the few Bronte books that I have never read and so far... extremely enjoyable. My only disappointing is my own lack of ability to translate the French conversation intermittent throughout the storyline.



Freelance Design in Practice
Cathy Fishel

Intensely interesting and infinitely useful for the freelancer in question (yours truly).



And even more to come as we (DH and I) have recently joined a Book Club (gasp!). What is on your current reading list?
