I‘ve been reading P&P to the kiddo (she wasn‘t happy about it, but once we got to the proposals rolling in she admits it‘s interesting enough to continue), and I can‘t tell you how nice it is to have this kind of moment in a hectic week. Homeschool has its moments, for sure. #DannyBoy really hates the voices I do for Mr. Collins and Lady Catherine.

It‘s much harder to get him to leave your thoughts.”
pickI can‘t believe it took me so long to read this! I absolutely loved that it was written as if it was a discovered Jane Austen manuscript. It was so believable. The author did an excellent job writing in the same style as Jane Austen. The mystery was really good as well. Also, she added a bunch of historical information from Jane Austen‘s life. And the foot notes were excellent as well. Loved it!
Books 136 through 147. I have been reading a lot of the sweethearts alphabet series by Suzanne Ash for an A-Z challenge. Plus, I have been busy downsizing and packing for my upcoming move.
pickA fun Northanger Abbey retelling where Northanger is a possibly haunted boarding school.

1. This was my 9th or 10th reading? I can't keep track anymore! My viewpoint hasn't shifted too much over the years; Emma has always been low on my Austen List but I've found new things to appreciate each time through.
2. It's complicated! Its a coming-of-age story so of course we have to see how she grows and God knows I regret things I did and said at 20...! But at the same time, her shallow snobbery grates on me. 👇👇
