My Review:

I did not like Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. But when I saw Pepper Basham had a book coming out loosely based on it, I knew I had to read Sense and Suitability. Why? Because Pepper Basham wrote it. Also, this is Basham's first foray into the Regency genre.

Stacking the Shelves #182 Sunday Post #179 Sunday Salon #173

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? We did go for that long walk/hike on Sunday. We went to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I took a ton of pictures, so click on the link if you are interested in that. The only problem, is that after such a big hike on Sunday, I started the week off exhausted, and it just kept going. By Friday afternoon, I was so overtired and done. We do hope to hike again this weekend, but other than that and my daughter coming in for a short visit, we don't have much plans.

I was not looking forward to reading Johnny Tremain, this month's book club pick. However, I didn't dislike it as much as I had anticipated. I don't read many war stories or middle-grade fiction.
