Jane Fairfax: The Secret Story of the Second Heroine in Jane Austen's Emma | Joan Aiken

It's been a while since I have done a #WeeklyForecast - things got really busy & then I found myself in a bit of a reading slump for a couple of weeks. It used to fuss me when that happened, but now I just indulge in terrible P&P variations, play some Red Dead Redemption 2, & wait for the reading urge to grab me again, which it invariably does lol I have been keeping up on my plethora of chapter-a-day reads (on the right) & enjoying them for ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) most part. I'm learning a lot about Moroccan culture for #FoodandLit, thoroughly enjoying Jane Fairfax, Harry Potter, & Narnia for those various buddy reads (#PemberLittens, #PotteraDay, #NarniaReadalong), although The Last Battle is always so hard for me to read!! The Little Mermaid, which also includes several other Anderson fairy tales, I'm just reading as the mood strikes me - the lavish interactive illustrations by MinaLima are ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) just delightful. Jane Austen Made Me Do It is a collection of short stories by various authors that are all Austen-influenced. I'm about halfway through & none of them have been above a 3* read for me - most of them are just kind of pointless & uninteresting. Upcoming reads for just me - the next batch of 87th Precinct books (SO CLOSE to being done with this 55 book series!), my pick for the new round of #LMPBC, a pick from my ⬇ 4y

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) #NewYearWhoDis list, & a Little Mermaid variation for the #FairyTaleReadalong. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of checking books off the TBR, especially considering my #BookSpinBingo list so far this month consists of three DNFs & all five free spaces! 😂

Bookwormjillk Too bad about Jane Austen Made Me Do It because that is an AMAZING title. 4y

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - Right?? And I actually give JAFF a really wide leeway as far as what I find entertaining/fun to read, but so far these have been kind of universally boring. There have been a couple of fun ones, like a Persuasion story telling how Admiral& Mrs. Croft met, but there have also been a couple where JA's ghost comes to magically help a modern author, or a bizarre one where JA helps save some military secrets from a spy?? Just weird lol 4y
