Gentleman Jack (Movie Tie-In): The Real Anne Lister | Anne Choma

pick

The library audio was available - they got a second narrator to read the longer diary excerpts and shed used a Yorkshire accent, so we got to hear something approaching Anne Lister‘s own accent. It‘s a wee bit boring in places, since this is book concentrating on letters and a diary so it is hard for the biographer to “plot” the book. However, Anne is a fascinating contradiction of a woman as this is an excellent companion to the TV series.

I must get better at bailing - I spent almost half the month with NY witches but them powered through my bookclubs Japanese pick (liked it a lot!), a book that‘s been on my TBR for toooo long (it didn‘t disappoint!) and two non fiction picks from my #nycbookhaul - which I loved!

So I recovered the reading month in the closing weeks!

thereadingowlvina I enjoyed The Poisoner's Handbook 🙂 5y

Mitch @thereadingowlvina me too! Loved that it was a little about a lot - so no rom to,get bogged down or bored. 5y

TheAromaofBooks I don't make a lot of bookish resolutions, but this year I have really been working on bailing on books that just aren't working for me. There are sooo many books I want to read - it really isn't necessary to keep plugging away with ones that I don't like! 5y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego I'm not a "bailer" either. You still did great though! ??? 5y

Mitch @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @TheAromaofBooks I wish I could! It‘s weird, it‘s a mixture of hope that it‘ll get better, my mood will change etc and a respect for the authors time and investment..I‘m just too weak! 5y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego That's a nice way to think of it. My thoughts are more like voting. I can't complain about a book if I didn't read the whole thing. 🤣 5y

Anne Lister was a remarkable business woman, who understood how to manage her affairs & estate, and had clarity over the needs of her heart & sexuality partnered with a level of determination that enabled her to live her own life. She left a wealth of diaries, from which her life, and the society in which she lived are under the microscope. Comfortable with her lesbianism, yet not with the working classes. Looking forward to the adaptation now!

readordierachel The show is fabulous. I must read this! 5y

Mitch @readordierachel I really enjoyed the book... going to dive into the TV series now. I love Suranne Jones, so have high expectations! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 5y
