pickGood start to December. I finished both tagged book and Rational Creatures. Anthologies are often a mixed bag but I enjoyed most of the stories. Standouts:
For Mischief's Sake by Amy D'Oramzio featuring Captain Fredrick Tilney. Such a great redemption arc! I loved Catherine Morland's part in that.
I particularly loved Where the Sky Touches the Sea by KaraLynne Mackrory featuring The Crofts. ⬇️
I received my #Yuleseasonswap package also today from @BookwormAHN and holy stamps lol.
"Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness." Jane Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra.?

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

so-soIt took me a long time to finish this one. While it was informative, I basically had the same issue with it as with the collection of Jane Austen's letters: there were so many names and ordinary events.
It's a well researched and comprehensive biography, and the author is clearly passionate about her subject matter. However, I personally would have been happier with fewer details about the wider social circle around Jane Austen.
Was #yuleswap a one off? It was a fun one. Did I miss seeing it for last winter?
