pickThis has been on my Kindle, along with what feels like a thousand other books, so why I decided on this as opposed to something else, I don‘t know. I do know that it was a lovely story that draws on the wisdom in Austen‘s books. In many ways a gentle, relationship-driven book. Maybe not for everyone, but it definitely spoke to me.
I got this book bc of my obsession with Jane Austen and all things related to her. This book was better than I thought it would be but my no means will be staying in my Jane Austen section of my bookshelf. It‘s a read and pass on for me. Had Guernsey Potato Pie Society vibes if you like that.

pickThis was a good light read, but wasn‘t total fluff. It reminded me a lot of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.
pickCute, wrapped in layers of Austen, no loose ends. I was surprised by how much of a role grief played in the story (I could have used a trigger warning, honestly), but in many ways, what was said to Adeline was what I also needed to hear. Even if you don't like Austen, this is a great "Books (and reading) Are Awesome" story. ????
Listening to a story set in a quaint village while stitching a quaint village!
I've never been much of an audiobook person but I just might make a habit of this. Helps that it's narrated by Richard Armitage. 💙🎧

@BookNAround Thanks for the list! I‘m glad I got to these five books in January, and I have plans to read a few more this month, too.
Thank you @StaceGhost for the lovely package. I love it all, this book has been on my TBR wishlist for a while so I‘m excited to finally get the chance to read it. Thank you again! #littlechristmasswap
On the 8th day of Christmas, I‘m picking another excellent Austen-adjacent book that I read last year for #12BooksOf2020
This one needs to be a movie! ❤️
Really trying to get through this book. It‘s not as good as I had hoped it would be.
pickI loved this book! I usually love all things that include Jane Austen, but this storyline was on its own lovely and heartfelt. I felt attached to each of the main characters and didn‘t want it to end. I want to know more about their future lives. I feel the same about all of Jane Austen‘s books.
We hope you‘ll join us for our discussion of The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner today at 2pm ET. The link to join is :

pickThis was a delightful book, although I did feel the ending was a bit abrupt. It was a perfect complementary read while in the middle of reading through Jane Austen‘s novels. The description of the setting of Chawton was lovely. The best aspect was the variety of characters that came together through one common interest and then supported each other in such wonderful ways.

pickWhile I do not tend to reread books, this sentence still struck a chord with me, because I knew that everything will work out in the end.
Looking forward to our book club discussion tomorrow.

pickMy hubs bought me a WordCloud Austen book set for Christmas last year and I‘ve been reading my way through them this year (I still have Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey to look forward to!), so reading this sweet story layered with my latest encounters of Jane Austen‘s characters was fun! I wish the ending wasn‘t as rushed but was charmed by so many of these characters and loved seeing some Austen characters reflected in Jenner‘s.
This is a great morning! A little cozy time with the puppies, while I read and drink my coffee!! Then I must get started on my needlepoint Christmas stocking! Lol hopefully it will be ready NEXT Christmas

When your library hold expires less than half way through the book and you don't want to wait 18 weeks to finish it....impromptu trip to the bookstore 😂😂
I usually don't set goals because I have zero follow through but I do have a list of books I'm currently working on and hopefully can get through for #NovelNovember

Lazy Saturday morning before the day really begins 😊

I loved this blurb about my favorite Austen protagonist so I wanted to share it! 💕 #currentlyreading
Relevant food for thought today, and not only for England. Get out and vote, please!
Realized that my bookmark was thematically appropriate this morning 🤣 #currentlyreading
pickI ended up really enjoying this book, but I did almost give up early on. It was slow to start and felt a bit dis-jointed for the first ~20%, but it then picked up steam for me. It‘s a great imagining of the Society‘s origins.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a sweet book! It was pretty slow and whimsical. I loved how the author used Austen‘s brilliant classics to bring together an unlikely group of people. Each person carries heavy burdens of grief and trauma, but they all find healing in books. I appreciated the author introducing a twist that made me think I knew the end, only to twist the twist! I found this book to be sweetly reminiscent of Austen‘s own writing. I recommend it!
pickWow this book is beautiful 😊 I love the characters, the setting, the Jane Austen references and observations. It leaves you in a feel good, rosy headspace after reading. I don‘t want to blow the story line for any would be readers so I will just say, read it, you won‘t regret it 😉 And Gus and my handsome man snuggling while they wait for me to finish my book ❤️
pickThis book was an absolute delight and just what I needed today. I really liked getting to know all these characters that share a love for my Jane. I would like a little more, please and thank you (especially Adam & Yardley - that epilogue just wasn‘t enough).
I don‘t have a photo of the book because I borrowed from the library and listened to the audio (and am apparently too lazy to just google image the cover). So, Tilney awkwardly snoozing.
This is such a beautiful story 😊 I‘m hoping to finish it today but I‘m also sad that it will be finished. I‘m meeting a friend I haven‘t seen in person for 10 years today and I‘m nervous and excited too 😊She loves to read and I‘m hoping to pass along this book to her 😊
pickOh, man. Now I want to go on a tour of all of Jane Austen‘s homes. This highly fictionalized account of the Jane Austen Society‘s acquisition was charming and sweet and surprisingly suspenseful! And I‘m positively delighted to learn the author owns an independent bookshop about an hour away from me. Can‘t wait to visit soon!
“That there might be a place where people were not constantly competing against each other for their very sustenance, but were instead helping each other survive through war and injury and poverty and pain, seemed as much something out of a Jane Austen novel as anything else she could have hoped to find. “ -Mimi Harrison
pickThis isn't the sort of book I normally go for, but it was such a pleasure. I almost quit after the first chapter, but I'm so glad I didn't.
Really enjoying this one 😊 My sister bought me this book as a birthday gift because she saw Austen in the title and instantly thought of me. I‘m so glad she did, because this book is wonderful 😊and Gus agrees ❤️
pickLoved this book sooo much!! If you are a fan of Austen, and love books like Guernsey Lit Society, this book is for you.
pickA story as quiet and quaint as the small village in which it is set, where Jane Austen once lived and finished her last three novels. While the book is really about the small group of devoted Austen fans who form the titular society in the years following WWII — their lives, traumas, loves, and victories — it is also full of tiny references to Austen‘s characters and personal history, which will delight any Austen-loving reader. #austenianaugust
I‘ve had this on hold for absolutely ages! I‘m so excited.
“She has, with this discovery, brought the world closer than it has ever been before to the greatness. She has, as Miss Woolf herself once described it, caught Jane Austen in the act. “
“The unnatural loss of youth not only hits us harder, it seems to insist on invading our days, as if the memory of the person lost too soon has a hidden, persistent source of energy. “
Just starting this one today 😊 I‘m a little distracted because Gus tried to eat some wasps and they stung him really good 😢 the swelling is going down and he‘s a little dopey from allergy meds (okayed by a vet😊) And I‘m back to reading while still keeping a close eye on my boy ❤️
