I absolutely enjoyed this book mixing Jane Austen‘s letters with illustrations of the houses and places she visited, the dress code, social code and introductions

I really got a sense of the world Jane Austen lived in

BookishMarginalia It also looks like a beautiful object 2d

I absolutely love this. Now we also know the extent of Mr. Knightley‘s sacrifice

Another thing I enjoy is how we get prospects of the places/ houses where Jane Austen is staying, like this one of Winchester

I would have loved to visit this bookstore; Messrs. Lackington, Allen & Co., at the Temple of Muses, Finsbury Square

One of the things I love about this collection of Austen‘s letters is that excerpts from her novels are included together with drawings of the area.

MaleficentBookDragon You are welcome. I'm so glad you like everything; I'm always second guessing myself. That booksleeve was one that WASN'T made with a lot of cursing ( I kept those 😂 ). I rerally like that candle. I happened across it at Aldi if you can believe it (I love their isle of shame 😜). I got one for myself too. 2w
Chrissyreadit @MaleficentBookDragon You made it???? I do love it!!! And also love the Aldi Isle of shame!!! Candle is perfect!!! 2w
MaleficentBookDragon @Chrissyreadit Aldi is DANGEROUS. I went there yestetday for canoli dip (my friend has me hooked on iced cannoli lattes). They did not have any left. One hour and $100 later I'm not sure what happened.... 😊 2w

What have you read/watched this December? Are you done for the year? Or planning a few more?

Such a busy time of year, I wanted to go ahead and post Persuasion 'Now' discussion. Join in whenever you can.

I've got one more watch party scheduled for Becoming Jane. Saved it for December because it's set around holidays.

Crinoline_Laphroaig I would love to get to Persuasion 2007 & 1995 and the new documentary Jane Austen Rise of a Genius over Twixmas.

AnneCecilie Nothing so far, but would love to see Netflix‘s Persuasion, there‘s so many opinions about it 2w
BookishMarginalia Rewatched my fave P&P adaptation, the Colin Firth version 💜 2w
AnishaInkspill I watched the BBC drama of Pride and Prejudice, before reading the novel of which I am almost 2/3 through. It‘s Jane Austen, not sure if it‘s ever possible to finish with Jane Austen. And I‘ll look out for your Persuasion discussion. I'm not sure if you've come across this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvkqlWCgcck , Modern Persuasion, an updated take retold as a romcom. 2w
julieclair @AnishaInkspill I‘m hoping to read that this month! (Or next…. Or at some point in my life… 😂) 2w
peanutnine I'm planning on watching the Netflix adaptation of Persuasion and I have a book retelling on hold. It will probably wait until the new year, I'm deep in holiday reads lol 2w
AnishaInkspill @julieclair 😂 I've been here many times 😂 1w
Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnishaInkspill vaguely remember Modern Persuasion. I think I've saw it. 1w

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

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."
