pickThis hit the spot!
I absolutely love Jane Austen's Persuasion, so spin offs make me nervous but this was so good! I am a bit annoyed about the Taylor Swift references but I thought this was great. It is a small town romance with lots of quirky characters, but didn't feel like a Hallmark that demonizes working women - in fact Anne is the hardest worker (for obvious reasons)
I thought this was charming, and lived the goose!
"Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness." Jane Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra.?

pickI think this is my favorite installment of this series so far! Mansfield Park isn't my favorite Austen so I was hesitant to spend more time with these characters but I thought their growth was well portrayed. And I was so happy to have Jonathan and Juliet back together! Their reunion was so sweet. The mystery was fun to follow but I'm here for the slow burn romance lol. By the end the stakes were high and I'm so ready for the next book!
pickI love this series! However, I didn't love this 4th addition as much, mainly because I don't like Mansfield Park that much. I find Fanny and the rest of the Mansfield characters a bit insufferable. However, I did like Fanny‘s ending and I gained a lot of respect for her after her brother confided something very personal to her. I found the ‘will they wont they‘ a bit overly dramatic and I didn‘t like the ending plot twists at all. Low pick.
Happy National Read a Book Day! 📖
I'm celebrating with my kindle and a nice view ⛰️

I finally remembered to take a picture of my current #Crochet shawl from the Always Austen first quarter shawl box I subscribed to through Wonderland Yarns 🧶
I enjoyed this more than any since the first book. The romance is really heating up and there is *drama*! And the solutions of the mysteries are cleverly deduced.
I'm hoping the next book will have a HEA because I'm not sure my heart can take much more!

Fanny and Edmund are very happy that Sir Thomas is planning to sell his Antigua plantation, so the family will no longer bear the sin of being involved in the slave trade.
