I am often leery of books that are described as funny because humor is so subjective, but this worked for me. I am going to have to go back at a later date and re-read to make sure I caught all the movie references etc. Pretty sure I caught all the Shakespeare. Looking forward to My Plain Jane - their take on Jane Eyre. ( ) I skimmed a lot of this, but overall I thought it was pretty fun. I read it to take my mind off the presidential election of doom and it served its purpose. There were a few things that kept me from really getting into it: 1. I was surprised to find so many of the tropes of the mass market romance genre. Things that struck me as super cliche. Like, "He was going to explode if he didn't kiss her" stuff (and then he doesn't get to kiss her, of course, because the gratification must delayed until the last possible moment). 2. The title is MY LADY JANE and there's a picture of her on the cover, but it felt like Edward was actually the main protagonist. 3. I listened to the audiobook and was devastated by how bad Katherine Kellgren's Scottish brogue was. Katherine Kellgren is my favorite audiobook narrator, so I was crushed. Poor Gracie had to say everything in the exact same sing-song cadence because I guess that was the only way KK could do it. To sum up: This is funny and has clever bits, but I wasn't in the mood to give in to its silliness and enjoy the trope-y romance stuff. Oh, well. It was worth a try. Now I'll go back to being angry and depressed and obsessively reading articles about how to fight the incoming administration. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: This comical, fantastical, romantical, New York Times bestselling, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey is "an uproarious historical fantasy that's not to be missed" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind YA fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual history??because sometimes history needs a little help. At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren't for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be Queen of England. Like that could go wrong.
