pickStunningly beautiful book. Loved illustrations & memorabilia. Saved for #JaneAustenThenAndNow. 👍for Presentation. Keeping for that reason & because it was gift from a friend. But👎for commentary. I have THOUGHTS #PemberLittens!
Elizabeth Bennet was joking when she said she fell in love with Darcy on “my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley.”
My next comment has Spoilers for Mansfield Park. 👇
This afternoon I introduced my grandson to the dot game 🥰 & read Willoughby's Crossroads by Joana Starnes from this anthology for #JaneAustenThenAndNow
Ending just after he meets the Dashwood ladies it offers some possibilities about his experiences & state of mind in the months prior to S&S. It was good. I'm eager to read the other stories but I'll wait to read each story until I reread the original each one goes with. @Crinoline_Laphroaig

A beautiful collection of prayers written by Jane Austen. It also includes a brief bio of her life. The final prayer is my favorite and is one I'll return to. I love her novels so much, it was sweet to see this different side of her writing.
pick4 Stars • A must have for all avid Austen fans -- This book takes all the best quotes from Jane Austen's works and letters to her sister, Cassandra, and puts them together in one small volume. Subjects include love, life, how people act, and her thoughts on books.

My answers:
1️⃣ Reread. I first read several years ago and have often revisited. When choosing books, I knew was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the busy holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. ⬇️
Yule tradition! I used to have an elaborate setup for burning new year wishes, and alas it was lost in the move SO. This year I got a free candle from work and my boyf‘s wish burned to the bottom of the candle in record time lol. Happy Yule to all that celebrate!

what author calls 'The Complicated Henry Tilney.'
"Northanger Abbey reads as a lighthearted novel, but Henry Tilney doesn't seem to fit, in part because he doesn't come across as lighthearted."
Northanger Abbey is close 2nd to Pride and Prejudice as my favorite Austen. And Henry Tilney is one of my favorite characters. Yes he
has some serious moments but for the most part he is a charming man with a sunny disposition. 1d
