Six Sentence Saturday

Welcome to Six Sentence Saturday.
Where I try to express my thoughts on recent reads using only 6 sentences!!!!.
At the end of each review I will post a
rating scale of 1-5 using the cute and original (lol) Playing Cards.
Rating scale will be as follows:

5 of Hearts- You must read this book NOW!!
4 of Hearts- A great read, put it on your TBR list.
3 of Hearts- Glad I read but no big deal

2 of Hearts- Why did I finish this?
Joker Card - Don't bother (why did I?)



Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler
** This book was flat out fun!! I loved being able to take a step into Austen's world by way of Courtney. Seeing it through her 21st century eyes was the best part of this book. Those of us that are addicted to Austen probably wished we were Courtney....I know I did. I would like to role-play at being an Austen character for maybe a week because I love the modern conveniences like electricity and flushing toilets too much to stay in Austen's world for too long. The ending left me wanting to grab up this next book!!

My Rating:







Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict
** I liked this book, but not as much as Confessions. When Jane opens her eyes and finally realizes that she's not in England but rather new America she is really discombobulated! Could you imagine being used to horses and carriages, very little noise and then find yourself in current day Los Angeles???? The best part for me was the way Jane started to feel about Wes and how she finally figured out how to use the Blackberry. The ending left me a little upset ,but I'm hoping for a third book!!

My Rating:






Pride and Prejudice Marvel Comic Book Series Volumes 1-5
** I almost didn't add this because I thought it would make me seem like a geek. But you know what? I am one!! I loved the drawings and the way the writer took the story and made it concise enough to be done in 5 comic books. This was pure escapism and total fun!!!


My Rating:






NOTE: a few bloggers have emailed me asking if they could use this post on their blogs and I'm like, "Heck YA!!" I never thought of this as a meme but if you want to use the concept then by all means please do. I would love it if you left me a comment about your post in my comment section so I could check out your Six Sentence reviews!!!!

  1. Great post, Staci! I really enjoyed Laurie's books.

    Question about the P&P comic books. Are they all available NOW? Where did you buy them? I'm seeing my daughter tomorrow (in Chicago) and I know she'd love them.

  9. It's a Jane theme today, I see. :-) Great fun! I haven't yet decided if I want to read Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict. I kind of want to get through all of Jane Austen's books before I do dive into the offshoots.

    I'm glad you included the comic books. We geeks have to stick together--and should be proud!

  22. Six sentence reviews! and every one informative and gave us what you liked and didn't! If you didn't get nominated for most concise reviewer, you should do next year! lol I'm amazed (my reviews are never this short!) and delighted. I've been meaning the read the Jane austen books, I really have to get Confession of a Jane Austen addict for the challenge now!
