August #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks & #AwesomeAugust Readathon @Andrew65 & NEWTs last book of Ancient Ruin Class-Read a Classic. 1st novel read in my life by this author. Thanks to @mabell who use her "persuasion" with me to participate in #JaneAustenSwap 2 y/o ago. She gave me that beautiful Penguin classic copy.I really liked the story: social criticism, Ann's character, her love with Frederick. I was conscious of the time it was written. 4⭐️

So I just realized this book has a chapter for each Austen novel. I‘m diving in immediately!

Thanks to @JenlovesJT47 whose post reminded me I also have some Austen themed recipes!

Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

Just reread this after a number of years, and I can‘t believe how much I loved it. I loved it even more this time around! What a relatable MC, and such fun. It was also the first time I read it on the gorgeous edition I got from my swap buddy last year‘s for the #janeaustenswap!

mabell Lovely photo! And the teacup!! 😍 6y

Elisa Thank you! I picked up a bunch of mismatches teacups and saucers for a baby shower a couple of years ago, and now they reside with my Jane Austen and other historical fiction 😊 6y

The Leopard | Jo Nesb�

Another warm day to sit in the porch and read! (And work.) Drinking a protein smoothie in my awesome travel mug from @Avanders that I received earlier this year in the #JaneAustenswap!

Crazeedi I want your warm day to sit on my porch!😊 6y

wordslinger42 Where did you get that cup?! 😂 6y

LeahBergen Such a great cup. 😆 6y

alisiakae @Crazeedi Unfortunately it‘s not supposed to last much longer, or I would share the ☀️ ☺️@quietlylaura @Marilyncjackson @Elma It is awesome! @wordslinger42 I received it in a swap from @Avanders 6y

Caroline2 Awesome!!! 😂 6y

eanderson I love that cup! 6y

Reviewsbylola Ha love it! 6y

hilded I didn‘t recognize which Harry Hole book this was from the English title, it‘s quite different from the original one 😅 6y

TheWordJar Just have to agree with everyone...that cup!!! 😂 6y

Sharpeipup 😂 6y

ravenlee 😂😂😂 6y

BookNAround That cup!!! 6y

alisiakae @hilded Is the original title something different than an animal? 6y

hilded Yes, it‘s called ‘Panserhjerte‘, which would mean something in the line of ‘Armoured Heart‘ if I were to translate literally. 6y

hilded Btw, that cup is awesome 👍 6y

shelbyy That cup is hilarious! 😂 6y

sprainedbrain I love that cup!! 6y

TEArificbooks I laughed way to hard because of that cup 6y

Beachesnbooks Omg that cup!!! 😂😂😂 6y

batsy Brilliant 😂 6y

i.z.booknook I need that cup 😂 6y

alisiakae @hilded It annoys me when publishers change a title for an American audience. A la HP and the Philospher‘s/Sorceror‘s Stone. 6y

hilded Agree, especially when they change a British title, that doesn‘t make sense since their both in English anyway. Like this one were they added on 1/2 a death, why - lol 😂😅

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

hilded Versus the US title:

The 71?2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

hilded I mean, how can a person die 1/2 a time more? 😂😅 6y

alisiakae @hilded 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 6y

alisiakae @hilded I notice he used the phrase armored heart a few times in the book, including the last chapter! 6y

hilded Interesting! I must confess I don‘t remember that. I read the book a long time ago - and while I do enjoy this genre for what it is; a quick entertaining read, they rarely stick. 6y

The Shaping of Middle-Earth | J. R. R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien

Litsy friends really do find the most amazing bookish gifts! This morning I‘ve got a bit of extra time so I‘m enjoying a cup of tea in my new mug from @Captivatedbybooks as a part of #JaneAustenSwap using the adorable book tea diffuser from @tpixie (sent with my most recent #CovertoCover book) while reading some of the commentary on the early Silmarillion for #YearofTolkien.

tpixie Love the mug!! Fun combo!!! I‘ve never tried that tea.... 😋 (edited) 6y

tpixie Love that you are still on a Tolkien journey!! 6y

MCYmermaid Awesome diffuser!! ☕️‼️ 6y

JazzFeathers Sounds like the perfect morning 😆 l'm on the train home from work. I too have a date with a certain professor 😀 6y

Daisey @tpixie The tea is good, although I need to work on the ratio a bit. This was too big of a mug for the diffuser. Also still like bing reading Tolkien! 6y

Daisey @BarbaraJean @MCYmermaid Agreed! I love it! 6y

Daisey @JazzFeathers It was a great morning, although I had less time than I thought and still haven‘t gotten far. I‘m hoping to make it half way through the commentary yet tonight. 6y
