I continued the buddy reads Persuasion #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow and The Old Curiosity Shop #WhatTheDickens

I continued A Thousand Feasts

I‘ve started both The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, and The Ghost of Blackwood Hall #NancyDrewBR

Chapter 16. (Volume II, Chapter III) 'Uppercross excited no interest, Kellynch very little, it was all Bath." - Persuasion.

We need Duckies for all Jane Austen characters!

*I have a busy Saturday so I'm posting tonight. ???

Crinoline_Laphroaig Also glad for this explanation: “must lament his being very much under-hung,34* "under-hung: having a lower jaw that protrudes too far, especially beyond the upper jaw." Sounded dirty. ? 14h

Chapter 14 (Volume II, Chapter II) - "Give him a book, and he will read all day long.” - Persuasion.

No reading all day for me. We've a spell of warm weather. Average forecast high of 789F/26C today and all through Monday. Cooler temps and rain returns next week. So many fall projects happening! ???

Chapter 13 (Volume II, Chapter I) "One man‘s ways may be as good as another‘s, but we all like our own best. And so you must judge for yourself, whether it would be better for you to go about the house or not.” Persuasion

Wise Words from Admiral Croft.

Another edition on my Wish List - Dover Thrift Edition paperback. Just love pattern on cover. Very autumnal. ?????

Took me forever to decipher whats happening in this cover. Rather pretty though.

I've always felt a little out of the loop with Persuasion, never finding it all that romantic, but I think I appreciate it more now. So much suspense, so much yearning! So much snark! 😂

Ruthiella I only felt this one deeply on the second reading. I think the first time around I read too quickly and wanted Elizabeth Bennett instead of Anne Elliot. 2d
willaful @Ruthiella yes! I remember seeing there was an Elizabeth and being so pleased, and then of course, she's awful!

I was thinking the names are interesting. Elizabeth, Anne, Mary -- all queens. Henrietta and Louisa -- feminine version of male names. I wonder if it's social commentary or just how it was.

Crinoline_Laphroaig I didn't like as a teenager. Took reading through older eyes to appreciate. 2d

This past Saturday I attended a theatrical performance of Pride & Prejudice by the Stoney Creek High School students!

It was very well done, performed with sincerity and heart; I felt it 🥰

"no one so proper, so capable as Anne!”- Persuasion. Things go wrong and you need someone like Anne.

I've loved this little seating area I made that looks out over the kitchen garden. Perfect for early morning cups of tea and reading Jane Austen.

Need to make room for citrus trees to overwinter. Will definite bring back in the spring when citrus go back out to the patio. ?☀️??❄️

Crinoline_Laphroaig Table will go back to my library. Need chairs as I extend dining room table for holiday meals. Plus it's time for reading by the fire. 3d
Crinoline_Laphroaig As for Persuasion, raise your hand if everytime you read this chapter you hope Charles just picks Anne up, puts her in the carriage, and says 'DRIVE ON!' 🙋🏻‍♀️ 3d
TheBookHippie So zen to sit there!! 3d

November walk inspired by yesterday's chapter. Had our first hard freeze in the morning. Afternoon was perfect for wearing my new Irish sweater and hat. Laphroaig scarf found awhile back on Ebay. I'm slowly replacing things like these that I lost in house fire. Love how they match this Persuasion.

Today we're off to the seaside (virtually) - "The young people were all wild to see Lyme."

Chapter 10 has inspired me to get out for a November walk this afternoon. Especially since it's cold & I have a new sweater.🍁🍂

willaful I had a walk with my daughter but it's like freaking summer here! 5d
Crinoline_Laphroaig @willaful it's just started to feel like fall in the last couple of weeks here in Oklahoma. Yesterday was our first hard freeze. I'm very happy about the change in temperature! 4d
