The Jane Austen Book Club

Jane Austen wrote six novels in her lifetime:
Emma, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey,
Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Persuasion

six different individuals
six different stories
six different backgrounds
six different novels
wonderfully woven into one beautiful story:
The Jane Austen Book Club

its how these people relate to the novels
which seem to reflect their lives
and the troubles they're facing

a mother whose husband just left her
a daughter who's finding herself
a multiple times divorcee who wants to find love
a wife who fantasizes about her student
a friend who loves to pair things up
a guy who's never read Jane Austen

a thrilling tear that will grip your heart
one way or another
wonderful!

a definite recommendation!

RENT the Movie

a definite must rent! (intentional pun)

image

a musical
so unlike any I've watched before
the songs are fast and catchy
the characters are relatable
the storyline is beyond superb

tells of:
a budding filmmaker
a songwriter who's yet to write a song
a dancer who's also a junkie
a crossdresser who's having AIDS
and his newfound love
a liberal lesbian
and her girlfriend, a lawyer
and all of them facing financial difficulties
because of a friend who turned against them

this show never fails
to make me laugh in delight
and cry my heart out
all in all, a wonderful plot

seasons of love

Love Story - Taylor Swift

my latest craze song!

i love how the song develops
from childhood
to "daddy said stay away from juliet"
to adulthood

its the perfect love story!

my utmost favourite part is:

And I said
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and he pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

sigh...im melting already...
