3.5⭐️ I first read the book as book club selection a number of years ago and it wasn‘t my favourite Austen novel and it still isn‘t. The book felt choppy, especially after the book shifts to Northanger Abbey. I can see the ideas that Jane used throughout the book in other books. #2020 #bookreview #bookstagram #janeausten #pemberlittens #fiction #classicliterature

I got a bit ahead of myself with tonight's cocktail - Hand in the Tilney.(Basically it's Aperol Spritz.) It's more about the time at the Abbey. I'll just have to drink it again when we get there. 🤷‍♀️

JamieArc I love this! I have always dreamed of going in a bar, telling the bartender what I‘m reading, and have them create a drink inspired by my book. 4y

There's a Jane Austen GIF on Instagram stories! I'm joining in this : https://www.instagram.com/p/CHLciArALYd/?igshid=i1f5dhyae1m5 It's not a Book Challenge but since it's Chawton House Library first prompt was #shelfie.

"Yes, novels;"— not enough room to quote this whole section buy I just love it. ?

"How are the civilities and compliments of every day to be related as they ought to be, unless noted down every evening in a journal?" ?

Myself I'm a Journal in the morning for the previous day. ?

Also can I just say Henry Tilney. ?

"Mrs. Allen was one of that numerous class of females, whose society can raise no other emotion than surprise at there being any men in the world who could like them well enough to marry them." ? Snarky Jane!

"But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way."

Snuck off this afternoon to read Chapter 1. Pleasant surprise I found a souvenir from #austeninaugust2019. You remember 2019? When you could travel and set beside the Riverwalk with a book and a Margheritas.
