All manner of Nonesense

Well, I did indeed finish Pride and Prejudice. (Actually, I finished it months ago, but havent got around to posting about it since.) And guess what. No, actually, dont guess, if you read my blog you already know...I...LOVED IT!! Ive considered seeing the movie but im thinking, dont bother, it'll just be disappointing if they dont live up to the book (which they cant anyways.) So. Since then, i have struggled to find a new book to captivate my interest, which was for a while the Montmorency series by Eleanor Updale, which did capture it nicely. A bit un-advanced, but it made up for its deficiencies in its well- moving action- oriented story line. Sadly, owing to the shortness of the novels and (relative) ease of reading, i finished them shortly, voracious book- pig my mother so often fondly calls me. So i resorted to a series I had promised myself to pick up again so as to refresh myself for the newly released third. This one is The Looking Glass Wars, by Frank Beddor. The first two, The Looking Glass Wars and Seeing Redd, are very good, a modern and updated twist on Alice in Wonderland, which i considered so fitting to read seeing as i hope to see the new movie. The books have all the main characters, though a bit shuffled about, yet they all have unique and highly differing personalisties and none ever seem to be shoved to the fore while others stories are relegated to the back, like i see in so many books. The story line follows them all, with (expected, of course) emphasis on Alyss Heart, the main character, who we see come from flightly seven-year-old into full-fledged 20-year-old Queen by the end of the book. I recommend it sincerely!
Now, wait a moment, i seem to have gotten off topic... what was i talking about at first? Ah, as i scroll up the page, i remember. Pride and Prejudice. Well, as i have no more to say on that subject, and have filled it out with all this Manner of Nonesense, ill be off, shall I?
