Welcome to Litsy!

Ch 18 (Vol II, Ch VI) "He was ordered to walk, to keep off the gout, and Mrs. Croft seemed to go shares with him in every thing, and to walk for her life, to do him good."

Time has passed. No longer at Uppercross in Fall, moved on to February in Bath.

Spotted on my walk yesterday, gorgeous red leaves of maple in my yard, looking across to more fall color around neighbors pond. ?

Awww. So sweet. Maybe not the best choice just after reading “The Correspondent”, as they are similar in subject, but super sweet. A great read for a cozy winter night.

Chapter 17. (Volume II, Chapter V). "While Sir Walter and Elizabeth were assiduously pushing their good fortune in Laura-place, Anne was renewing an acquaintance of a very different description." - Persuasion.

Something I've never noticed before. Persuasion has Chapter Titles. I don't remember any other Austen books having anything but numbers. ?

Queen Elizabeth I ‘s court was ruthless! 😂 (And yes, I‘m immature enough to laugh out loud at this!)

Chapter 16 (Volume II, Chapter IV):"In the course of the same morning, Anne and her father chancing to be alone together, he began to compliment her on her improved looks;" - Persuasion.

I think this cover has made Anne too glamorous but it is a gorgeous edition. ?

I never knew the story behind King Henry VI and his mental illness. The women of this era were really treated poorly, and yet some were really brave. #Read2025 @DieAReader

Ginger ale for me tonight. Getting Chinese take out. Yum! Watching Midsummer Mysteries & during ads, reading the tagged book. Early to bed with a book is my after dinner plan.

Chapter 16. (Volume II, Chapter III) 'Uppercross excited no interest, Kellynch very little, it was all Bath." - Persuasion.

We need Duckies for all Jane Austen characters!

*I have a busy Saturday so I'm posting tonight. ???

No reading all day for me. We've a spell of warm weather. Average forecast high of 789F/26C today and all through Monday. Cooler temps and rain returns next week. So many fall projects happening! ???

The first in the Flavia de Luce Mysteries, it‘s a book I‘m reading with my online reading group, https://thereadingloft.groups.io/g/main/topics. The theme is a children‘s or YA book. This one is a YA book, I believe.
