It's reading slumpsville at my house lately 👎 I've been sick for a week, work is crazy and our house is under construction, so I just haven't found the time (for good books, at least). And our library is in disarray, because I decided to reorganize by genre and found we didn't have enough space. Now it's waiting for an Ikea trip for a new shelf. Did get these during weekend shopping at our local used books place though! #bookhaul

If you are a hardcore Austenite you will appreciate all the family history information included in this. It includes excerpts from letters to and from family members. #readwoman

This is considerably more academic than I anticipated. It's very in depth.

While in London I got to see some of Austen's letters and journals which are on display at the British Library. If you ever make it to London this exhibit is a must see. They also have the Magna Carta and other get literary relics. My only regret is that I couldn't take photos because some of the items on display had glorious illustrations 😍
