I’m a Jane Austen, Jane Eyre Kind of Girl
Otherwise titled: A Moody Girl and Her Books.
Recently I was thinking about the books I read as a teenager. I read once that people who think they only have one life to live have never read a book. This particular statement brings to mind those years between the ages of eleven and sixteen, when my books became portals into unknown worlds. Of course, a good book still feels like an open door, but it’s different when you’re thirteen. You haven’t been on your own adventures yet. More importantly, you’re still in the process of shaping who you’ll become. Naturally you identify with the protagonists in your novels.
And it all began with Nancy Drew.

Film Review: Pride & Prejudice
Ten whole years after the BBC unleashed Colin Firth’s Mr Darcy into a million women’s fantasies, up steps Keira Knightley as an exercet missile of hot female feistiness - Miss Elizabeth Bennet, and she has a ‘lock on’ to male hearts the world over. I have to confess something here, although my love for Die Hard, Star Wars and Fight Club are well documented, I erm, I also have a serious passion for the work of Jane Austen. This is almost certainly due to the influence of my mother who introduced me to her books at an impressionable age and I’ve never been quite the same since…

Pinned by Jane Austen
Inspired by ladaisi's article about her teenage reads that included Jane Austen. I explored my own love of this great literary mistress and the wonderful characters she created, which helped to shape the woman I have become and the inspiration she has provided to me in my own art over the years.
