Hugh Dancy is the only man in the book club. He should be on the cover. Ok. Rant over. So the plot ofContinue reading “Jane Austen, A to Z: The Jane Austen Book Club”

I love post-apocalyptic movies. Unfortunately, not everyone in my house wants to watch everything related to the apocalypse like I do.
