July Book

For the month of July I chose a tongue-in-cheek version of my absolute favorite book -- "Pride and Prejudice." Hopefully you all won't be too alarmed when you see about this one, but I've heard rave reviews!! I am hoping to not be disappointed. Just remember not to take it too seriously! Ha ha!


"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith:


"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—& the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty & arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—& even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism & thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.

(I would change that to....something your husbands would actually want to read!)
