Dangerous to Know: Jane Austen's Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues | Katie Oliver, Amy D'Orazio, Karen M Cox
post image
Pickpick

Good 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. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig Such a lovely story about the importance of not only love but friendship in a marriage. And just because you can't have children, doesn't mean you're life is empty. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig "I have learned that, when rough waters come, you cannot sit upon the decking and rage against the storm. You cannot scream at the wind and lash out at the rain on your face. Doing so will do nothing but allow the storm to beat upon you with greater vengeance and perhaps steal from you your life. No, when the waters are not calm, you must secure the boat, rigging and sails. Brace yourself and, with your crew beside you, face the storm."

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

It 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?
