Austenland Series by Shannon Hale


SYNOPSIS:  Jane Hayes inherits a trip to Austenland, a resort geared toward middle-aged women who would like to endulge their Jane Austen fantasies, complete with love interests.

In the sequel, Midnight in Austenland, Charlotte Kinder is a divorcee looking to immerse herself in another time and place after reading a Jane Austen book.  She finds Austenland needs her as much as she needs it.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  These books are written for adults, and will most likely primarily interest young adults and adults.  I am a Shannon Hale fan, and found these books humorous and enjoyable, although not really thought-provoking.

RATING:  PG, with some sensuality
AUDIENCE:  Young Adults and Adults

STARS:  3 1/2
BOOKS LIKE THIS:  Northanger Abbey, Twilight
