| I confess it took a little while to get into this book, just as it took Mason (from 2023) a while to accept that he was exchanging letters with Talia (from 1987), and it took both kids a while to bring the other up to date on their backstory. The sec ...more | |

I love Jane Austen with the fire of a thousand suns. I saw a reference to Tom Lefroy and was intrigued. In short, I am the absolute target audience for this. It is one of the slowest reads in the history of slow reads. It didn't feel like Jane Austen. ...more |

| Research book. But this was a truly delightful picture book, telling the story of the author's rise from a 4-year-old getting her first "jingle" dress to a professional dancer. Really enjoyable. ...more | |
