Anna - it was a very fun book; I had no problem swallowing the unusual premise. Enjoy them when you can :) stacy - oh, I hope you get to CONFESSIONS soon ... you'll want to pick up RUDE AWAKENINGS right after, to see the other side of the story. bookmagic - these are two great choices for Everything Austen! zibilee - I liked the trailer; it was mostly fast-paced images, which is very effective in catching my attention. Some trailers try to put actors in the role of characters, and that doesn't work as well for me. rhapsody – they are written as stand-alone novels, but I would suggest reading CONFESSIONS first … any detractors out there?!

I watched the trailer, and thought it was pretty good, although I don't watch too many book trailers, so I don't have much to compare it to. I want to read both of these books, and am putting them on my wish list. Thanks for the great review!! I am really glad that you liked these books.

Care - RUDE AWAKENINGS was written after CONFESSIONS, but they occur simultaneously (not as confusing as I just made it sound!) Beth - it's a great follow up, very satisfying Julie - oh, you'll like it. Guaranteed, or free Twinkies for life :) Kay - I loved Jane's voice. Rigler is very talented to carry that off and keep the tone for the entire novel. Margot - hope I didn't mislead you. It's Jane Mansfield, not Jane Austen, who comes forward in time. She comes from Regency England ... lives contemporaneously w/Jane Austen Sandy - go to Stephanie's blog www.thewrittenword.wordpress.com for the full scoop on the "everything Austen" challenge Jessi - I may be at an advantage by *not* knowing a lot about Austen's work ... Dar - that's funny that we picked the same quote! I'll have to go back and re-read your review. Subliminal impact, perhaps ... :) Kathy - oh, you MUST read them!
