VBT# Figure Eight - Calia Read

  Review: Figure Eight - Calia Read - March 2017 At first, I have to admit I didn't know what to expect as from the first page I thought that Selah - the main female character was a serial murderer or something as for why else would they interview a year later. The book then jumped to prior the incident, and in that prologue, we weren't given much as an indication of what Selah had done.  In the book, we meet Selah who has left her job as a teacher and come home to look after her mother who is sick and has dementia/Alzheimer's. Selah has been looking for a job but nothing is sticking, and years ago she joined a writing site as she has always had the dream of being an author. Selah gets an email from someone on the site, and they start communicating. This leads to a meeting and an eventual relationship between the pair Selah and Jared. Selah also has a new neighbor who has moved across the street whom she is suspicious of; her mother sw...

  Review: According to Jane - Marilyn Brant - October 2009 This book I remember reading years ago , probably around the time it was first released as it was before I had even considered running a book review blog which is I started in July 2010. This was back when I was a carefree reader and never had to worry about writing reviews about the books I read. It's funny as now writing reviews on books I have read are a part of my life and I couldn't imagine not doing it now. If you are like me and call yourself an Austenite , then you will love According to Jane as Marilyn Brant's brings us an Austen inspired novel.  It starts off when the main female lead Ellie Barnett is sitting in English class and is being annoyed by Sam Blaine - the male lead as usual. The class are being handed their next book to read - Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen as Ellie -hoping for a distraction opens the book when she hears a voice. Looking around, she can't find the source but it...
