jane austen's only human, i guess:(

hi all...i finished jane austen's letters.....some of them were quite bitchy.....but i guess all there was for women to talk about back then were other people and fashion....got quite sick of all the clothes directions.....oh well.....she seemed to keep herself occupied & was obviously fond of her family.....it's not a novel, but let's give it ***

I'm reading the book thief finally (i think dianne recommended it to me over a year ago)....i really like. it's so well written...it's a bit weird having death as the narrator though.

ps - i miss hermione lots...bring on the cool female protagonists! (did i spell that right?)
