Movie Recommendation: Austenland

We've had a really hard month, so I've been on the lookout for things to make me smile - open windows, new plants, cute movies, and new books. I probably shouldn't be trying to fill the hole in my heart with these things, but it really does make me feel better to focus on beautiful things.

I recently rented Austenland from Redbox and watched it...then watched it again... and maybe again! I loved it. I'm a sucker for cheesy Jane Austen-y movies.

Watch the trailer:


It was adorable. Surprisingly funny and romantic. If you love Jane Austen things and cheesiness, you'll love it!

    Such a great book (and cute film!) My friend knows the author so we got to go to a special neighborhood screening of it a the the theater. Shannon Hale had a Q & A afterwards - she is the sweetest lady. It was fun to learn more about how the book went to film (I guess it's all in who you know, which in her case, was the Twilight author!)
