I have been reading Persuasion and Flirting with the Camera at the same time so I'll have reviews up on those two. Also, for Lady Susan also by Jane Austen.

These books I know have been out for awhile and I don't have any really new books except for one. I had some of these books for a long time so I had to come up with away to reduce the books. But I love books soooo much! I can't help it! I love books!

So here they are until next month or if I magically finish reading all of them before the month is up hehehe yeah right until then Lovely Book Readings!

Stepping down from Little Dorrit

I know I shouldn't really be worried about this much, but I needed to type this up. I am having a hard time reading and listening to Little Dorrit. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time. I enjoy the book, but I just can't seem to bring myself to finish it. So in having to step down from reading this book. In it's place I will be reading The Secret Garden. Then i will get back to Little Dorrit when I'm ready! Oh the joys of book reading. 

Hopefully I'll be more prepared and willing to read or listen and read along. until next time!

The crazy world of a nanny! The Nanny diaries by Emma McLaughin and Nicola Kraus

This book was full of emotions from angry to beyond angry, to down right loving and caring. I loved the book and what it brought out. That being a nanny is like being a mom to a kid that sometimes doesn't feel like he or she is loved by their parents. This was also made into a movie in 2007 starring Scarlett Johansson as Nan. Of course completely different from the story, but it was fun to watch.

The story is about a 21 year old nanny named well Nanny or Nan for short. She is a college student who was looking only for a part time nanny job, but when she meets the Xes, well things go from nice to down right crazy. Nan's new charge is four year old Grayer who is a bit resistant to her, but after awhile he warmed up to her. Mrs X is a non working mother who can't stand being even five minutes alone with her son. Mr. X is hardly around to be with his son. So it is up to Nan to fill in as a second mom at some point. Woring for the Xes was not easy for her and the things that she had to put up with is amazingly hard and sometimes ridiculous. At the end she knew that she was going to be fired and she had to leave behind poor Grayer and hoped for the best for him.

This story shows a side to parenting that I hope to never come across. Because the way that the Xes had treat their son, was absurd  and horrible. These type of people do not deserve to have children, if all they are going to do is treat them like a pawn in their game of Chess. It made me angry, but it made me feel upset that a child had to suffer because of his parents stupidity. This is so worth the read and watch if you're up to it. I hoped you enjoyed my little rant!

Prayers For Sale by Sandra Dallas

This book was so heart warming and cute that I wouldn't mind rereading this again and again. So many feels towards this book and I wouldn't mind buying it as a stand alone, I have four books in one. 

This amazingly sweet story is about a woman name Hennie who befriends a 17 year old married woman name Nit. The two met while Nit was looking at Hennie sign that said prayers for sale. Then the girl left with a prayer "bought" and Hennie provided one for her. The two became close and Hennie knew that she had to leave to live with her daughter. So Hennie tells Nit her story and many of them, plus taught her where the best of fruit for making pies were. Hennie and Nit love spending time with each other and Nit loves to hear Hennie's many stories. A lot of things has happen to Hennie and in the end was a bit of a twist. But it was a very good ending.

So like I said very heart warming and cute, plus, had a lot of feels. This story is totally worth the read if you are looking for all feelings. Well that is the end!

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

I love love love this book. I finished it a few days ago and it was amazing. Loved the character Jane. There were a lot of characters that I would have loved to smack beside the head so hard and other that I would love to have deck them. Like for one Smacking the back of the head: Mr. Rochester for being so rude when it came to Adele, Why bother taking her on as a ward if you can't stand children. God! what a douche (sorry) but even though I love the chemistry between him and Jane, he just needs a head smack.

People that I want to deck in the face!

Mrs. Reed 

John Reed

Mr. Brocklehurst (the biggest douche of them all)

Blanche Ingram 

Mrs. Ingram

There I spoke my peace kind of, I'm sure there might be other characters but those are the ones I really wanted to punch. Sorry for my crazy ways of thinking!

This story deals with lost, love, grieve, secrets, craziness, and happy stuff. There is more to it. There is a lot of feels in this book so be prepared.

If you don't know the book. The story is center around a girl name Jane who lost her parents when she was young. Her uncle took her on as his own and made his wife promise to raise Jane as her own. The uncle passes away and his wife does keep the promise, but she  and her children are horrid towards Jane. Jane's aunt had had enough of Jane's "attitude" and sends her away to a school with horrible conditions and a horrible "headmaster" if that is what you would call Mr. Brocklehurst. After some horrible event and things changes, Jane stays there for eight years and is finally ready to move on. She take a job as a governess to a 10 year old girl name Adele and Jane is to be living at a place called Thornfield. The master of the house is Mr. Rochester and he is in his late 30's. He is hardly around and when he does come home he is introduce to Jane. The two get to know each other and Mr. Rochester and Jane fall in love with each other, but there is a terrible secret that Jane has found out on the day of her wedding, and she runs away.

After a few days of not eating much or sleeping and living in the cold Jane meets a nice family consist of two sisters and a bother, their father had passed away and they are left the house, but the father had debuts that had to be paid. The family takes in Jane and the sisters are immediately smitten with Jane. Their brother is not to sure how to take Jane in. After living a few months with them and the girls leaving to become governess themselves. Jane is to be a teacher to poor girls and to live on her own. After awhile Jane been told discoveries of this little family that she has grown fond too.

After being away for so long from Thornfield and Mr. Rochester, she starts to miss her friends, charge, and Mr. Rochester. She goes back and discovers that something has happened to the house that she loved, and is worried that Rochester had died, but he didn't and she goes to him right away. The two are finally reunited, but Rochester is blind and missing an arm. After talking awhile and seeing that they both love each other, they are married and live happily.

Loved this book despite the fact of such awful characters, but this is a must read! So go and read it if you haven't! OK that is the end! 

How I felt though some amazing scenes!

At Arms by A. Rosaria

This story is more like 5 stories plus a bonus one that doesn't involve any of the characters from the 5. I thought it was awesome for one, it was different from what I'm use to reading, and it was a pretty good plot line. 

The stories were all in different views of different people, but what pissed me off the most was the character of Robert. He was being a complete douche (pardon my language) and I have other things to say about him, and all I have to say about the ending is, that is what he gets for being such a douche bag (pardon my language again). You'll have to read it to find out what I'm talking about. It was a sad situation about what happens in the story, but like I said, that's what happens when you turn your back on it and become a complete moron about the situation at hand.

I give this a five because of moral of this story. This book makes you think of what's more important, rather then completely ignore the situation at hand and come out a tragedy at the end. I also, have to add that I'm not on either side of any of the characters, but like I've mentioned you'll have to read it for yourself.

The bonus was slightly confusing at the end it had me thinking of what just happened. So It is a good read if you're into horror type of books, I just got into them myself and they're not so bad!  

Persuasion Review

This story was slightly confusing and boring at first. This was not really my favorite Jane Austen Novel. I had to hand it to her, she manage to pull me in towards the end. The whole time I was at the edge saying when is this *ship going to happening. 

The story centers on a woman name Anne Elliot who is the middle child and is 27 years old, not married, still kind of lives at home, and is heading towards the path of spinsterhood (boo). She had this love interest name Frederick Wentworth that she feel in love with eight years ago, but things happen and they're not together. She did have another proposal from her younger sister's husband at first, but she turned him down. While visiting her younger sister her first love Wentworth came back into the picture. Things are all over the place the feels that everyone has. You see why I was confused about this story if you read it. Good ending and happily ever after and stuff. 

I was confused and then bored and more confused and bam an interest in the end yay. So many feelings I had on this story. That is the end and I will be back for another review and things!

*Ship when you put two people together and they will love each other forever! For people who may not understand
