Oh, Litsy! Yes, I watched the latest film adaptation of Emma, but ... there was no plan to add a reading of the book to my already jammed TBR. That is, until a read along posting and a notice of a free Kindle book encouraged me to jump in! I did,and am happy to say that I enjoyed it immensely! Loved the characters, the manners, the wit, the language and the charm! Thank you @sprainedbrain for “leading the charge”!

sprainedbrain Yay! I am so glad you joined us! 🥰 4y

“You will excuse my being so much over-powered. If I find him conversable, I shall be glad of his acquaintance; but if he is only a chattering coxcomb, he will not occupy much of my time or thoughts” 🐔🤣 🎩

Chapter 12 ( trying to catch up)
“After a little more discourse in praise of gruel, with some wondering at its not being taken every evening by every body...”

I was fascinated with Mr. Woodhouse‘s strong beliefs about the power of gruel!

And a recipe for gruel:

sprainedbrain I appreciate the recipe, but I‘m still not sure I want to join Mr. Woodhouse in a nice basin of gruel. 😅 4y
DivineDiana @sprainedbrain Nor am I! 😅 4y
