I seem to be in the minority amongst #PemberLittens in that I 💜 Emma (the book, Emma herself can be maddening 😆)

Emma is considered revolutionary for the time, in form and technique, in the way that it bends the narration through the distorted perspective of Emma‘s mind.

From my introduction, “Austen imbues a 3rd person narrative with the habits of thought or expression of a fictional character.” She was the first author to do so!

Lcsmcat I‘m in the 💙 Emma (the book) camp with you. How skillfully Jane can make us feel every awkward moment! 4y
Bookwormjillk Emma is my favorite! I‘m with you! 4y
SamAnne Looking forward to the reread! 4y
MaureenMc I love Emma, too. I‘m so looking forward to rereading this one (which I think I‘ve only read once before??). 4y
kspenmoll Emma is new to me so I have not formulated my opinion! 4y

The #150PnPCoverParty photo challenge has put me in the mood for some new Austen-related-something in my life, so it felt like the perfect time to pick up this memoir written by her nephew.

Fun fact: a one-horse-drawn carriage was no way to transport a lady around, because it would be to uncomfortable for her fragile body #carriages

LeahBergen You‘re all set for a perfect evening. ❤️❤️ 7y
RohitSawant Great picture! 7y
kspenmoll Love your photo! 7y

ferskner Three of my favorite things in one photo: Jane Austen, Obvious State, and turkisk peber med gummi. 👏 7y
Kalalalatja @rohit-sawant @kspenmoll thank you! @LeahBergen if I don‘t count my sleepiness and lack of concentration, then you are spot on! 😄 @ferskner well spotted! 👏 7y
CrowCAH That‘s right. A four horse carriage is a lot better!!! 7y

Austen‘s nephew wrote this short biography of his “dear aunt Jane”.

I'm travelling with my husband for business and you know what that means ... new bookshops! I can't tell you where I found these used (and cheap) #FolioSociety editions because then I'd have to kill you. 😂

Megabooks Awesome!! 😍😍 7y
Sarah83 What's the silver sword? 7y
rubyslippersreads 😍📚😍 7y
Suet624 Are they crooked or is it me? 7y
LeahBergen @Sarah83 It's a children's classic about kids fleeing from Poland in WWII. I haven't read it yet. 😃 7y
LeahBergen @Suet624 I think it's the obnoxious wallpaper in this hotel room that's giving them the curved illusion. 😂 They're actually straight! 7y
Sarah83 Sounds great. 😍 Can you take some pics, if you have the time? 7y
Cinfhen That's fabulous 7y
Suet624 That‘s so weird. 7y
LeahBergen @Sarah83 Will do! 7y
LeahBergen @Cinfhen 😘😘 7y
emilyhaldi Amazing finds!! 7y
BarbaraBB Enjoy... so much fun!! 7y
batsy Have fun, these look great! And I see it as curved too, @Suet624 😂 It's kinda cool/weird. 7y
mrp27 😂😂😂😂 7y
RohitSawant How awesome! Found myself wondering if they're curved as well! 😆 7y
LeahBergen @emilyhaldi Thanks! 😘 7y
LeahBergen @BarbaraBB Thank you! 😀 7y
LeahBergen @batsy @rohit-sawant I'm starting to think it's the curved shape of the Folio cases that's making them look wonky here. 😂 7y
