Tonight I saw an American Shakespeare Center production of Sense & Sensibility. It was so well done and really fun! They also sang before the show and during intermission, which added to the experience. #JaneAusten200
Lovely to see so many #janeites dressed in their finest at Jane Austen House.
But this lady actually sat in the garden and read. #bestfangirlever #janewouldapprove #lifegoals #janeausten200

What else would I watch tonight ? 😂 #JaneAusten200
To prolong that Austen feeling when you've read all or most of Austen, here is Lizzie Skurnick on Joan Aiken's Austen spinoff novels. I loved Aiken's Wolves Chronicles series for children but was worried about whether these books would measure up to Austen's work. Skurnick makes a wonderful case for Aiken's books and I hope to give them a try: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/07/14/books/review/joan-aiken-jane-austen-spinof... #janeausten200
I mean, I know I chose Mr. Rochester, but I still think Mr. Darcy is pretty swell. (Especially Colin Firth 😍😍😍).

"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature." #janeausten #janeausten200
#JaneAusten200 📚 Admittedly, I have not read all of Ms. Austen's novels, but of the ones I have Sense & Sensibility is my favorite. If I ever have a daughter there is a real possibility I will name her Elinor.
This quote still gives me butterflies. The mastermind behind this and so many enriching novels that continue to culture our population died 200 years ago today. Happy bicentennial, Miss Jane Austen ♡
