MY Genres

Reading is my escapism, and I also love opening doors within me of emotions and thoughts. I'm a romantic, and so my main genre is Romance - Historical, Contemporary, Paranormal, Suspense, Science Fiction, Fantasy and Young Adult. When I read a book that isn't a "Romance" per se, I will enjoy it more if there is some romantic element in it, or where I feel a strong emotional connection to the story and characters. I hope you find my book reviews helpful and that you find some new books to enjoy. Happy Reading! P.S. My ratings reflect my enjoyment of the book and are entirely subjective. ^_^

The "Lady Jayne" Story

My name is not the usual spelling of “Jane”. I used to ask my parents, “WHY did you put a “Y” in my name?! To be forever misspelled?!” Then, in my late teens, I discovered the amazing Judith McNaught and the world of Lords and Ladies; beginning my love of Historical Romances. Around that time, my mum bought me a lovely hairbrush with the brand “Lady Jayne” embossed on the handle, because of the spelling. I loved that brush. I used to dream of being “Lady Jayne”, with my own handsome Duke and our many estates - each with its own library! Well, I have a loving husband who isn’t a Duke, but we have a lovely, cosy home together with our baby, Tookie (our cat). Oh My Gah! I’m a “Cat Lady”! LOL Anyway, no Duke, no estates, but my online name is “Lady Jayne”. Though, no need to stand on ceremony here. Please feel free to call me the un-plain, Jayne. ^_^

My Favourite Quotes

"Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting one at the end of the day makes that day happier." ~ Kathleen Thompson Norris, Hands Full of Living

"Life experience. I can talk it up, vow to broaden my horizons, but I’m still limited to the experiences with my life. How can a person understand an experience that lies completely outside her own? She can see it, feel it, imagine what it would be like to live it, but it’s no different from seeing a movie on a screen and saying, “Thank God that’s not me.”' ~ Kelley Armstrong, The Summoning

"She understood now why her friend Elizabeth, with her near-genius, analytical mind gave wide berth to murder mysteries, psychological thrillers, and horror stories, and read only romance novels. Because, by God, when a woman picked up one of those steamy books, she had a firm guarantee that there would be a Happily-Ever-After. That though the world outside those covers could bring such sorrow and disappointment and loneliness, between those covers, the world was a splendid place to be." ~ Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." ~ Anais Nin

"Love is never measured by the times a guy made you laugh, but by the number of times he made you SMILE after you cried." ~ Unknown

"Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won't come in." ~ Alan Alda

"Yearn to understand first and to be understood second." ~ Beca Lewis

"Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Ashamed looks down, Faith looks up, and Hope looks forward." ~ Unknown

"The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." ~ Allan Chalmers

"To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater." ~ Unknown

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” ~Leo F. Buscaglia

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." ~ Yoda
