First Line Fridays

 

I know, I know it’s not your typical Thanksgiving themed book. But what says Thanksgiving more than food and family? Hillary Manton Lodge writes about both (and you even get some recipes in those pages)!

I pray you enjoyed special memories, love and laughter with friends and family yesterday (even if it was just over the phone).

Tell me about what you’re reading. Leave your first line in the comments then stop by Hoarding Books Blog to visit other participants in FLF. After all, you might find a new read to add to your Christmas wish list.

I’m going to admit something that may not be popular here. As a Jane Austen fan, one of her books I like least is a favorite of many. There’s just something about Sense and Sensibility that has always bothered me. Maybe it’s because Marianne Dashwood seems more flighty than heart-on-her-sleeve to me, or that Elinor and Edward spend so little time together that I never get the feel for their relationship.

Whatever it is, I’m happy that there have been some adaptation of the original story that I have enjoyed reading. And Hillary Manton Lodge’s contemporary take on this classic tale is delightful and engaging.
