Persuasion | Jane Austen

Pickpick

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⭐️

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 4y
TheAromaofBooks I love this one! Glad you enjoyed it. 4y
mabell Yay!! I‘m so glad you liked it! 4y

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!

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!! 😍 5y
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 😊 5y

Crazeedi I want your warm day to sit on my porch!😊 5y

LeahBergen Such a great cup. 😆 5y
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 5y
Caroline2 Awesome!!! 😂 5y

Reviewsbylola Ha love it! 5y
hilded I didn‘t recognize which Harry Hole book this was from the English title, it‘s quite different from the original one 😅 5y
TheWordJar Just have to agree with everyone...that cup!!! 😂 5y
Sharpeipup 😂 5y
ravenlee 😂😂😂 5y
BookNAround That cup!!! 5y
alisiakae @hilded Is the original title something different than an animal? 5y
hilded Yes, it‘s called ‘Panserhjerte‘, which would mean something in the line of ‘Armoured Heart‘ if I were to translate literally. 5y
hilded Btw, that cup is awesome 👍 5y
shelbyy That cup is hilarious! 😂 5y
sprainedbrain I love that cup!! 5y
TEArificbooks I laughed way to hard because of that cup 5y
Beachesnbooks Omg that cup!!! 😂😂😂 5y
batsy Brilliant 😂 5y
i.z.booknook I need that cup 😂 5y
alisiakae @hilded It annoys me when publishers change a title for an American audience. A la HP and the Philospher‘s/Sorceror‘s Stone. 5y
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 😂😅 5y
hilded I mean, how can a person die 1/2 a time more? 😂😅 5y
alisiakae @hilded 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 5y
alisiakae @hilded I notice he used the phrase armored heart a few times in the book, including the last chapter! 5y
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. 5y

I finally got to pose my #JaneAustenSwap gifts from @LoverofLit! While waiting to open my #MakerSwap gifts lolol Thank you so much! I especially love the two letter collections! My PhD thesis, while I was aiming for that, was actually in handwriting and written essays and letters, so these are especially close to my heart! 💕

theresidentromantic Not present: my lovely, previously posted tote bag! Not present because it's currently holding all my stuff lol 6y

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
BarbaraJean That diffuser is amazing! 😍☕️ 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
