Lately I've been watching a lot of Jane Austen movies/mini series. I've now seen 4 versions of Persuasion, 2 of Sense and Sensibility, 2 of Emma and 3 of Pride and Prejudice. (I am including the zombie version which was more entertaining than I expected.) So when I saw this at goodwill the other day it seemed meant to be. It went immediately on my read now pile. Who else out there loves Jane Austen?
Jane Austen‘s Juvenilia & Early Works — Enjoying this read! 📚❤️
An ebay find. It looks like a long book but that is because half of it is notes and references.
pick#Pemberlittens I've been contemplating color schemes for flower beds up against the house. There are plenty of foundation shrubs for greenery but no flowers. And then replacement copy of In The Garden with Jane Austen. My brick and brick at Chawtow Cottage are a close match! It's giving me lots of inspiration. 🏡

#Pemberlittens thank you so much for the great feedback and suggestions for our #JaneAdjacent subgroup! I will continue with monthly buddy reads but some may start later or earlier in the month depending on my schedule. I like having a monthly vote as it keeps things fresh and people engaged. I will throw into the mix a few other classic retellings for variation. This will be a very flexible group - jump in and out depending on your preference! ⬇️
pickThis was a warm, kindhearted piece of Austen historical fiction that imagines a backstory for Fanny Austen‘s governess who went on to become close friends with Jane. It was the perfect story for me at this moment, and I always love it when that happens!
At half past six, in the bleak, icy evening of 21 January in the year 1804, Anne Sharp arrived on the threshold of Godmersham Park. #FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl
