Get Lit

Time travel fiction such as this can be a lot of fun to read.
Courtney is a hard partying L.A. girl who recently found out that her fiance was cheating on her with her wedding cake designer. Since Jane Austen books are her secret vice, she immerses herself in them while drinking a bottle of vodka and wakes to find herself in the body of another woman in 19th century England. Author Laurie Viera Rigler clearly knows her subject matter. The book is filled with nasty mothers, tolerant fathers and misunderstood suitors. My favorite part is when she spies Austen leaving a shop in London and chases her down the street to speak with her. Perfect reading for nasty weather. (Whether you read this book or not, if you're an Austen fan, you should visit www.janeaustenaddict.com and click on "If you dearly love a laugh." She has some youtube links that are Austen related and really funny.)
