Bethy's Book Nook....

Welcome to the inaugural Bethy's Book Nook post.  Come on, pull up a big comfy chair and join me in my book nook as I talk about, well, books.  I guess that's pretty obvious from the title, huh?  No mystery here, sorry.

So, for the first book nook post ever, I'd like to share with you about my most favorite book. This book, of course, is Pride & Prejudice! I love this book.  I've read it so many times, and yet each time I read it, it's still like reading it for the first time.  I love the language and the manners.  The formality of Jane Austen's world and works just intrigues me.  I love to get lost in the pages of this book.

This book seriously never fails to disappoint.  No matter that I've read it, or seen the movie version a million times, I'm always waiting on pins and needles to see if Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy really will get together in the end (This isn't a spoiler is it? I mean everyone knows the ending to this story, right?). Sigh... And it just thrills me to the soul when Elizabeth puts aside her pride and her prejudice against Mr. Darcy to find that she truly does love him.  This love story is just classic!  Oh to find a man like Mr. Darcy!

So, there are many reasons I love this book.  And I think that it truly is a must for everyone to read this book.  For that reason, I'm holding a giveaway!  Some lucky reader here will win their very own copy of Pride & Prejudice along with, drum roll please, a $15 gift card to Barnes & Noble!!  What?!?!  Yes, I'm throwing that gift card in because I know that not all out there are as fascinated by the ingenious Ms. Austen like I am.
The book... the gift card... good luck!

The details:
Just leave a comment telling me the title of your favorite book. That's it! So easy! But, please, only one entry per person. The drawing is open until Friday evening. Winner's comment will be randomly picked and announced on Saturday!

Happy Reading!!!

Whoa! This is awesome... makes my heart happy.
Okay, for favorite books... I love the Belong to Me and then there's The Help. So good.
As far as Jane Austin, I've only ever read Persuasion. Loved it. I've been wanting to read Pride and Prejudice... I've seen both movie versions... so maybe you should just give it to me! :)

Man, soo many good books to choose from. From my childhood-I would have to say the American Girl books. :) From present day-I would have to say Pearl in the Sand. Gotta represent MP. Thanks!
