Being new to this incredible world of blogging about Jane, I've started to visit some rather amazing sites and blogs in the past few days. I found one excellent Austen review site that any booklover and Janeite would certainly want to follow. It contains many wonderful reviews that are both informed and detailed, it appears to me at least.
As one of my favorite Austen novels is Persuasion, I found my way on the site to blogger Meredith's review of Susan Kaye's None But You (Frederick Wentworth Captain; Book 1). The review (and a few others online) convinced me that this is the next book I'm going to read. Book 2 of the series does not seem to have faired as well as reviews elsewhere seem to indicate. Opinions on Book 1? Book 2? Other review sites (especially on books) to recommend?

I'm with you on your preference for reading "actual" books rather than using some technological contraption. Besides, I constantly find myself needing to go back to some prior page, to find the source of something referred to later in the book or to locate the introductory paragraphs about a character . . . sticking my finger between the pages to hold the spot (or turning down the corner of the paper page)for repeated reference is a lot more satisfactory to me than having to over and over push some "page up/page down" button every time my memory fails me.
I did check out that review of the None But You book - it seems worth checking out. Thanks for the heads up.
