P&P: The Graphic Novel

Five boxes of new books arrived last week. A huge smile broke out on my face as I was elbow deep in the shiny literature. Book 7 of The Last Apprentice Series arrived, Rise of the Huntress. I read A Coven of Witches this summer. It's not part of the 7 books in the series but it gives some background information about some of the main characters. It was short but it was also one of the grossest, scariest books I've ever read. That's not saying much because I tend to not read horror and if I do it's usually teen horror (V.C. Andrews, Mary Downing Hahn, Christopher Pike, etc.). I hope Huntress is not as scary.We also got Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich which I'm reading this week. They are great books for something funny and low key. I've written a couple dozen down for my "to read later" list from the order.

I was most excited about Pride and Prejudice: The Graphic Novel by Jane Austen and Nancy Butler. I read it all Friday night. It is so wonderful to see those beloved characters in yet another format. Very fun. Sense and Sensibility will be available in a graphic novel in November.
I've already pre-ordered it through Amazon. I can't wait to add it to my collection. I recently ordered and received an 8-in-1 complete volume of Jane's work, illustrations included. It's a huge book and the font is very small. I read Writing Jane Austen a few weeks ago.
The main character reads all Jane's major 6 novels in like 2 days. I'm sorry, but that's totally unbelievable. It was one of the worst Jane Austen themed books I've read so far. Stay away from that one folks. I saw Eat, Pray, Love on it's opening night. I thought it was okay. I didn't really understand the need for the personal and physical journey but perhaps I should read the book. Bad librarian. I also saw The Switch on opening night. I thought it was really cute. The critics hated it but I can say it was way better than The Bounty Hunter.
