Jane Austen: A Life | 
pickA slip of a biography on Jane Austen, which traces her life through the publication of her books. I‘m not sure I agree with all of the author‘s speculations, but it was an enjoyable read and put me in the mood to read Austen‘s letters again.
Kitcat was my loyal reading companion for this one. #catsoflitsy
@Endowarrior21 thank you for this lovely package! I'm especially excited for the lost memoirs (I love a good "what if" book!) and the beautiful edition of P&P! #janeaustenswap @mabell @sprainedbrain
pickAn interesting short bio. Though little is known about Jane Austen, Carol Shields followed up possible circumstances behind Jane‘s writing and theories of what influenced the speculations surrounding her life.
I found it curious the author referred to sister Cassandra as having a large presence over Jane and there‘s a few observations about Jane‘s demeanor that surprised me. An enjoyable 4 ☆ Thanks @Wanderingwithwords for this recommendation!💗🌸
pick4.5 star biography that is short but packs a lot of detail into less than 200 pages! A must read for all Janeites, that‘s for certain!

Really enjoying this little biography of Jane Austen by Carol Shields. I‘m over halfway through and think I shall finish it this evening. It‘s definitely a 4-5 star read and makes you rethink about Austen‘s books quite a lot. It‘s a book I‘d recommend to any Janeite! #janeite #austenite #janeausten #nonfiction #bookblogger #booklover #bookish #bibliophile
Yay! I‘ve received my match for #JaneAustenSwap by @sprainedbrain and @mabell and I already have so many gifts chosen to sift through and pick out 4-5 for my match. I regret not choosing a higher number of gifts now because it‘s proving hard to narrow it down! Hopefully they‘ll love everything! I‘m actually so excited! 😹😹💛💛 #Janeausten #prideandprejudice #emma #mansfieldpark #classics #booklover #bookblogger #bookish

Most days, I read here at the reading desk with Marla Singer. Although, not usually while taking a ridiculous selfie and balancing a book on my head. 🤓
