Chapter a Day Extra - I really enjoy having this on my Kindle for reference but I don't like reading from it. Annotations distract from the story. After I read my chapter in my print copy I go back and look to see what notes it has. ✍️📖📚

Chapter 7 “It is over! it is over!” she repeated to herself again, and again, in nervous gratitude. “The worst is over!” - Persuasion.

Captain Wentworth has arrived!

Morning cuppa and a chapter from 1996 Book of the Month Edition. I'm still looking for Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice editions. Love that they include illustrations from Hugh Thompson. 🫖📖📚

Jane Austen is not afraid of telling it as it is.

Chapter 6 - "He had, in fact, though his sisters were now doing all they could for him, by calling him “poor Richard,” been nothing better than a thick-headed, unfeeling, unprofitable Dick Musgrove, who had never done any thing to entitle himself to more than the abbreviation of his name, living or dead."

I love snarky Jane! Morning cuppa w/ gorgeous Clothbound Classic Edition.

“So, you are come at last! I began to think I should never see you. I am so ill I can hardly speak. I have not seen a creature the whole morning!” Mary the Drama Queen has entered the chat.

Extra big cuppa morning. I don't read a ton of Mass Market paperbacks, prints to small & dark. I make exceptions for ones with charming covers like Signet Classic Persuasion. 🫖📖📚

Chapter 4 "-but Anne, at seven-and-twenty, thought very differently from what she had been made to think at nineteen.—" Persuasion

Today I read the backstory of Anne and Captain Wentworth from the Cranford Collection. ???

Crinoline_Laphroaig What stands out to me in this chapter is how everyone thinks Anne can do better and then she ends up having no one. 😥 4d

Chapter 3 of Persuasion: Sir Walter is a snob and the focus moves to Anne. “A few months more, and he, perhaps, may be walking here.”

This week I'm going to cycle through my collection of print copies. Starting with Signature Gilded Classic. I love the blue and ribbon book mark. 🫖📖📚

Week 1: Just two chapters in on my weekly Sunday Persuasion round-up! We get tea on the whole Elliot clan from vain Sir Walter to his disappointed, deceased lady, and his three daughters: Elizabeth (hot but shallow), Anne (sensible and sweet, but ignored) and Mary (semi-important because she married rich, BUT not titled). They're in dire financial straits so time to up sticks and move to Bath! Notes on the pictured edition in the comments. 👇👇👇

Andrea313 I started getting into Austen when I was about 13 and used my literal babysitting money to buy all of her books in the cheapest paperbacks I could find. 😭 I still have so much love for these old tattered copies and fond memories of my nerdy little self riding my bike to Waldenbooks (IYKYK) to buy them. I would throw out every fancy, gilded hardcover I own to keep this edition if I could only choose one. #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow 5d

bookandbedandtea Waldenbooks! That takes me right back. It (and Orange Julius 😋) were my favorite parts of every trip to the mall. 🥰 5d
Crinoline_Laphroaig I remember the first time I got to go to the mall by myself and how glorious it was to wander Waldenbooks with nobody rushing me. 4d
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig An incredible feeling! 4d

"Anne had been too little from home, too little seen. Her spirits were not high. A larger society would improve them. She wanted her to be more known." Chapter 2.

Poor Anne either overlooked or others decide what she needs. ?

*In addition to my print copies on busy days I'll be listening to Juliet Stevenson.
