Happy Book Lovers Day!

August 9th marks Book Lovers Day, so today I'm going to pay tribute to my favourite book of ALL TIME - Jane Austen's Persuasion. In a world where we're bombarded by tales of love between vampires, werewolves and mortals or drivel about domination in the bedroom -  why not celebrate a book that focuses on a true love between two regular ol' people (imagine that????). Persuasion is a story about a woman who finds the man of her dreams only to be told by her father and godmother that they couldn't marry because he didn't make enough money or come from a good enough family. Awkwardness ensues when her ex returns 8 years later looking for a wife to settle down with after mending his broken heart in the Navy. 

Here's my favourite part of the book - and yes, I'm issuing a spoiler alert - so if you're planning on reading Persuasion, stop reading this blog immediately!!!!

Can you imagine? A love that lasts through the ages - and not a fang in sight! Oh romance....

So, please pick up a book today - and honour this wonderful holiday!
