Chapter 16 (Volume II, Chapter IV):"In the course of the same morning, Anne and her father chancing to be alone together, he began to compliment her on her improved looks;" - Persuasion.
I think this cover has made Anne too glamorous but it is a gorgeous edition. ?

Chapter 13 (Volume II, Chapter I) "One man‘s ways may be as good as another‘s, but we all like our own best. And so you must judge for yourself, whether it would be better for you to go about the house or not.” Persuasion

Took me forever to decipher whats happening in this cover. Rather pretty though.
I've always felt a little out of the loop with Persuasion, never finding it all that romantic, but I think I appreciate it more now. So much suspense, so much yearning! So much snark! 😂

"no one so proper, so capable as Anne!”- Persuasion. Things go wrong and you need someone like Anne.
I've loved this little seating area I made that looks out over the kitchen garden. Perfect for early morning cups of tea and reading Jane Austen.
Need to make room for citrus trees to overwinter. Will definite bring back in the spring when citrus go back out to the patio. ?☀️??❄️

pickI love reading other people‘s mail.
It was so lovely to spend time with Jane again but as I got towards the end, I got quite sad.
I started this in 2022 and finally finished it as part of my #finishwhatyoustarted readathon
