The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen | 
pickJane Austen fans, take heed. This book is excellent. Heartbreaking, romantic, and hopeful. It‘s also incredibly well-researched, so much so it is difficult to see where the real Jane ends and the fiction begins. Definitely worth a try if you love the author and her works.
pickA soft pick. I didn‘t like the beginning & almost bailed. I didn‘t like that the author made out that events in Austen‘s books came from real life and not imagination. (Perhaps this was intended to pay homage, but it came off otherwise to me). However, I got caught up in the story and enjoyed James‘ writing style. My absolute favorite ‘Austen Inspired‘ book is ‘The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen‘ is by this same author, so I was disappointed.
pickAn imagined world after JA‘s lost memoirs are discovered in an attic. Reader learns about her love life, a romance that entices her and motivates her writing. Def not for everyone (such as purists lol), but this reminds me of a creative writing / fan fic prompt that takes some liberties. Fine enough if you like regency age romance or anything JA related. #bookreview #janeausten #romance #historicalfiction
#Staycationintimeswap @Chrissyreadit @BookishTrish Patricia, you are awesome! I couldn‘t be happier with my Jane Austen themed box. You spoiled me and I can only hope that you enjoy the box I sent to you just as much. By the way, despite my obsession with all things Jane, I don‘t have any of these books or treasures, so well done you!
#JaneAustenSwap Thank you so much for all of these goodies @Sorceryandswords ~ I ❤ the Sense and Sensibility theme & it honestly doesn't matter that the tagged book was second hand!
Thanks @sprainedbrain & @mabell for organising!
Day 3 #FallIntoBooks #cursive All of these paperbacks use cursive on the titles and spines. The top three I've read & enjoyed, the other six are in my #TBR stacks--a couple of new #ARCs (How to Change a Life & The Future She Left Behind) and some that have been there a while! 📚📚📚😬📚📚
