I am the worst type of reader. I don't read continuously (not the best when you consider I have a degree in English lit) but when I do pick up a book I cannot put it down till the back cover is closed. This is normally fine unless you find yourself with four days of sunbathing to go and no more books to read!
I've just finished a beautiful novel by Victoria Connelly called 'The Perfect Hero'. Unsurprisingly it tells the story of a man and women who fall in love and their destiny is saved at the last minute when she realises he is her perfect man after all and she has fallen hook, line and sinker for him- already the book has a fantastic plot. Then throw in a million and one references to Jane Austen's 'Persuasion' and you can see why 48 hours later I am now bookless.
I bought my first Victoria Connelly novel back in January, another Austen themed read, and I couldn't put that one down either. It was called 'A weekend with Mr. Darcy' no prizes for the Austen novel this book was based upon!
Sadly she is quite a new author in the british seas so I will have to wait till July 2012 for my next instalment of Connelly's work. It's probably a good thing as too much fictional reading on heros, handsome men and old fashioned courting cannot be good for an already romantic brain.
