Status Updates From Cecilia

Mr. Harrel and Sir Robert are some of the most annoying characters I have read about recently. It's also interesting to see the complexities Burney has given to her characters, such as the revelations Cecilia has discovered about her best friend and the effect time and displacement can have. I am loving both the story and her writing so far; I just love the 18th century English she uses.

I can't help but chuckling every time I read the word white domino.

ok tea a duel about to go down

decided to do classic/non-fiction only for may*





*i do however reserve the right to reading bodice rippers in case of a slump

Some possible light spoilers. Not too far, but I love it already. The characters, especially Cecilia, but also Harrel and Monckton, have me interested. The plot sounds fascinating: an intelligent, but socially naive lady, will have to learn to navigate a new and complex social environment after the death of, what I can discern, her last living relative. This is the first novel I have read from her and I love it!
