"Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 romantic novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book, who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and eventually comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. A classic piece filled with comedy, its humour lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage and money during the Regency era in Great Britain. Mr Bennet of Longbourn estate has five daughters, but because his property is entailed it can only be passed from male heir to male heir. Consequently, Mr Bennet's family will be destitute upon his death. Because his wife also lacks an inheritance, it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well to support the others upon his death, which is a motivation that drives the plot. Jane Austen's opening line--"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife"-is a sentence filled with irony and sets the tone for the book. The novel revolves around the importance of marrying for love, not simply for economic gain or social prestige, despite the communal pressure to make a good (i.e., wealthy) match." -Wikipedia More readable version of "Pride and Prejudice" from the Gutenberg library.

Book One of The Blood Rose saga Rozelyn was an orphan since she was seven years old. She grew up under the foster care of her stepmother, Romaine. When her father was still alive, he used to tell her about a legendary rose-native only to the lands of Tanzania-that can grant immortality and invincibility to anyone who comes in contact with it. All she knew that the mythical flower was just a bedtime story-until she turns eighteen. Rozelyn then realized that her father's tragic demise was not just an accident, but a blood payment as well. And the very gifts of the Blood Rose-formally known as the Ambrosia-flows through her own veins and sinews. Now, at the age of eighteen, Rozelyn is deemed as an immortal. In her initial days as a Blood Rose Lady, Rozelyn eventually found out that some things have a price that must be paid continuously. In short, her immortality was not just a gift. It is also an eternal curse-the curse to consume other creatures' life. A curse of being a vampire. As a college freshman, Rozelyn will soon be facing battles within herself and those around her. As more friendships are formed, more enemies are attracted. And Rozelyn may or may not only be the Devourer of Souls, but also the Destroyer of Worlds. Amidst of all of these, only one thing is certain: Blood is always thicker than water-either literally or figuratively.
