@JacqMac @Andrew65 @Megabooks

If you're wondering where to start with Jane Austen, this quiz may help! https://bookriot.com/first-jane-austen-book-quiz/

#authoramonth2024 @Soubhiville

Andrew65 Thanks for this, it‘s pushing me to Northanger Abbey, which is possibly the one I was going to start with. Kismet! 2y

jenniferw88 @Andrew65 I also think Northanger Abbey would be a good fit for you. We both like mysteries, and Northanger Abbey is possibly my favourite Austen (I've re-read her several times, so I'm probably going to finish reading her letters instead). It's close between this and Sense and Sensibility, but Rickman, as Brandon, has A LOT to do with this 😆 2y

Megabooks It‘s telling me this one and the storygraph‘s AI is saying I‘ll like it too so maybe… 🤔🤔

Mansfield Park (Revised)

See All 30 Comments

Megabooks Thanks for the link! 2y

JacqMac Thank you! It says I should read Emma. I keep trying to read Austin, but I can never get through them. I have never tried Emma though. 2y

jenniferw88 @JacqMac, do you like the matchmaking trope? Emma is perfect if you do! Austen does describe her as a character not many people will like, however, but she does grow on you. The book used to be #6 in my order of favourites. It's now #4. 2y

jenniferw88 @Megabooks, just be aware that Mansfield Park has Mrs Norris, who is, for fans of Austen's works, one of her most hated characters. She's a bit like Professor Umbridge from HP. 2y

jenniferw88 @JacqMac I must admit that Emma contains my favourite love declaration in it out of all her works! 2y

Soubhiville Oh my gosh what perfect timing! Thank you for sharing this! 2y

Soubhiville @Andrew65 @Kangaj1 @Gissy @BarkingMadRead @vonnie862 @TEArificbooks @Laughterhp 2y

BarkingMadRead I got Persuasion. P&P is my fave but maybe I will read this one instead! 2y

CatLass007 I have an audio collection of Jane Austen‘s novels. I think I‘m just going to read them in the order in which they‘re presented. So Emma is first. I have to confess that as many times as I‘ve watched Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, with side trips to Alan Rickman in Sense & Sensibility and Ciara‘s Hinds in Persuasion, I‘ve never read an entire Austen novel. I decided that I needed to rectify this ASAP. I don‘t really like the narrator (cont)⬇️ 2y

CatLass007 in the omnibus edition, so I‘m listening to Emma as narrated by Jenny Agutter. Emma is interesting because she‘s so much in denial about what she really wants. I‘ve only listened to about 25% of it but that seemed obvious to me almost from the beginning. 2y

BookwormAHN I got Northanger Abby, that should work for me 😺 2y

IndoorDame I got Persuasion. I‘d been thinking I should reread Mansfield Park since I‘m in the middle of Godmersham Park right now, but it‘s been ages since I read Persuasion and that might be perfect! 2y

gossamerchild Persuasion is the BEST. I mean, aside from P&P 🤣. This is Gina be tricky for me, because I've read all her finished works. Maybe I'll read Sandition. Or Northanger Abbey, as it is my least favorite. Tricky tricky 🤨 2y

Bklover I got Sense and Sensibility, but I‘m thinking Emma because I like my copy of Emma. 🤷‍♀️ I do, however , like the idea of an Umbridge, @jenniferw88 Gonna have to think about it! (edited) 2y

SconsinBookyBadger P&P is the only Austen I‘ve read. I might go with Mansfield Park that was chosen from bookriot quiz. 2y

AmyG I am going to read Emma as I have never read it…and I own it. 2y

erzascarletbookgasm @Megabooks It says I should read Mansfield Park too! 😄 2y

perfectsinner Mansfield Park 2y

Karisimo This was a fun quiz! I took it out of curiosity because I‘ve already read all her works. It gave me Emma! 2y

Gissy So fun that quiz...and the result was....Northanger Abbey, no idea what it is about🤷🏽‍♀️☺️ 2y

Laughterhp I got Persuasion! It‘s one I‘ve never read before, so I‘ll give it a try! 2y

LibrarianRyan Thanks 2y

So many #PemberLittens have reached out with kind words. Normally I'm very much a 'It's fine I can take care of it myself' sort of person. But after the fire I decided if someone offered me kindness I would accept. It's makes both me and the giver feel better.

Several have asked me for a Wish List for my Library. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LNB6H5OZCVBS/?ref_=lol_ov_le

Thank you!!! Happy New Year!!!

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Bookwormjillk We are comfortably ensconced at nephew's house. He's insisted we stay while we rebuild or buy elsewhere. We'll decide that in New Year. 3y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Cazxxx We are good. Our Homeowners Insurance is coming through. No worries about sending something. Some had asked that's why I did the list. People have been so kind to me. Do a kindness in your community in my honor. ❤️ 3y

It's a start #PemberLittens‼️😍

@Graciouswarriorprincess lived up to her name. She sent me this beautiful Boxed set of Austen.

Friends from Books and Brews Club left a basket on my nephew's front porch right after the fire. It had 3 Paperback Jane Austen's, book mark, fuzzy blanket and a bottle of Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch. Husband said 'I don't know who that's from but they obviously know you.'

Looking at this makes me so happy.

Jane Austen was born December 16, 1775… and thank goodness for that. ❤️

I‘m going to celebrate by continuing my #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice. Tonight is episode 4 (for the third time this month lol), so Darcy‘s letter/Darcy sans cravat AND a visit to Pemberley/wet Darcy.😍 I do hope Lizzie‘s family is in good health. 😂

And just because I can, I rearranged my Chilterns in order of mostest favorite ever to least favorite (left to right). I used to say Persuasion and P&P were tied for first, but upon reread, Anne & Wentworth have edged out Lizzie & Darcy by a hair. 😉❤️

Chrissyreadit These are gorgeous! Thank you for organizing pemberlittens- are there alt reads for persuasion? I bought the annotated versions and could not keep up with the reading- but these will be super satisfying and cozy when winter is stressing me out. Any viewing parties? 4y

sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit I have a few on my list for retellings, and there will be watch parties. The original schedule had us reading each book for two months, followed by a month of retellings and watch parties, so I had been planning to stick to that even though chapter-a-day only took one month. But… it might be better to move it up a month since next month is October? (edited) 4y

Chrissyreadit I‘m easy- I have so much to read - but if we stick to original I can finish persuasion too- so either one….😘 4y

I've turned into an Austen heroine with weak ankles. Took a bit of a tumble while out walking on Sat. Scraped my knee as well but I was back to it this morning.🚶‍♀️

❓ Was curious to read this Ch w/ Emma's sister. In new movie she is portrayed as a hypochondriac like her father & I didn't remember that.

And Mr. K such a sweetheart. Willing to let visitors stay Hartfield for sake of Mr. W.😍

Dove right in with the first book, Sense & Sensibility. I‘m so excited about this collection from #audibleoriginals. What a treat!

A day late in opening, but l received a wonderful box of goodies from @ferskner for the #JaneAustenSwap 🎁. The soap and candle made the box smell so good after I opened it and I'm looking forward to reading and using all the gifts you provided. I've never had Marabou either but I'm always up for trying something new that had chocolate in it. Thanks so much for your generosity!! ❤️📚❤️

@mabell @sprainedbrain

sprainedbrain Such lovely gifts! ❤️ 7y

@OriginalCyn620 I received your package (I missed your very discreet typed JAS, lol). The box has been hidden now until the 1st. Lovely wrapping!! I have all your goodies, but I need to wrap them (my wrapping talents are not as good as yours!) and drop on at UPS on Friday. I‘ll give you on update on delivery date when I drop it off. #JaneAustenSwap

Another look at my first attempt at book charms. They‘re not perfect, but I‘m happy with them for my first try. 😊 I think I want to do a couple more thin coats of Mod Podge though, just for durability. #AudioCrafting #BookishCrafts

But all your positive words are encouraging! 😊💗 7y

Bookzombie They are so cute! 7y

tapgurl You totally should. I think they take a percentage? I would like a game of thrones one for my daughter:). Or a Jackie Collins one -her favorite author. I tried really really hard to like Jane Austen but it just hasn't happen. I love the other Jane though (Eyre) 7y

Craftylikefox I love this!!! I would own a charm bracelet to just wear them. Great job! 7y

GypsyKat @tapgurl @Godmotherx5 @AThousandLives87 @Craftylikefox @Texreader I would love to do lots of classics and a bunch of modern favorites too. I‘m just toying with the idea of a shop, but I think it would be a fun creative outlet. 😊💗 (edited) 7y

GypsyKat @DrJAdMerricksson I plan on doing a lot more, though I haven‘t figured out how/if I‘m going to sell them yet. But that‘s good to know, thanks! 7y

Since some of you wanted to see the finished product, here is the result of my #AudioCrafting today. My first attempt at book charms. I thought I would start with Jane Austen since I‘m sending a few to a friend who‘s a big Jane Austen fan. Top row is the front, bottom row is the back. One more picture still to come... 😊📚

MinDea Whoa! You have so many!!! 8y

MinDea I am im (patiently) waiting for the final Wizard of Oz books to come out. I have the first and second ones in this format but waiting for the final one to come out! I also am looking for the Lion, Witch & Wardrobe complete series in this edition!!! 8y

GypsyKat @MinDea Like I said, I started collecting years ago, and would often get a stack for Christmas and my birthday, and I always use B&N gifts cards on them, and I try to take advantage when they are 50% off. 👍 8y

GypsyKat @MinDea My hubs got the Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe edition. (It‘s on the middle shelf just right of center) that was the one we spent the most on, because it‘s practically impossible to find for less than $200, but we happened to find a “like new” copy for $60 and snatched it up. He was thrilled! 💗 8y

GypsyKat @robinb @Kalalalatja Thank you! I love looking at them! 😊💗 8y
