Reading Update!

I will try to update on my reading from time to time. Currently, I'm  reading Northanger Abbey by the lovely Jane Austen. The novel follows a young girl, Catherine Morland, who  moves from her mundane home to Bath, a sophisticated town and is in pursuit of becoming a "heroine". I am only a few pages into the story, but I've already grown extremely fond of Catherine. She has a charming personality, and her interactions with the various people she meets are very enjoyable. The reason behind my strong admiration for Catherine's character may largely be the fact that she fervently reads and enjoys books, much like myself. Having read Pride and Prejudice by Austen, I can't help but recognise her oddly charming sense of humour in both these novels, which has added to my enjoyment of Austen's writing. I hope to enjoy the rest of this novel as much as I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice. I would recommend this book to fans of Jane Austen or anyone who wishes to read her works for the first time (which you should).
