Jane Austen: Reflections of a Reader | Nora Bartlett

In celebration of Jane Austen‘s 250th birthday this year, The Jane Austen House is out with a new podcast, A Jane Austen Year - a seasonal journey of her novels and life.

They also have a book out with the same name, A Jane Austen Year

In case there are any other Jane Austen lovers out there who are interested in this.

TheBookHippie I saw about the book! How lovely. 6h

Crinoline_Laphroaig I've got the Podcast downloaded to listen to today. I preordered book. I think this will be perfect alongside #JaneAustenThenAndNow readings for #Jane250. 😍 6h

Deblovestoread Oooh! Thanks for this. 💙 6h

Julsmarshall Thanks for sharing, can't wait to check it out! And the book comes out right before my birthday ;) (edited) 5h

daena Just downloaded the podcast. Thank you for sharing! 3h

Librarybelle I‘m not a big podcast listener, but I may have to listen to this one! 3h

AnneCecilie @Crinoline_Laphroaig @Julsmarshall Can‘t wait to see your thoughts on the book. I hoped the podcast would give some indications of what would be in the book. 1h

AnneCecilie @Librarybelle I always have the best intentions, but I noticed that the first episode was 20 min, and that should hopefully we doable once a month. 1h

Sense and Sensibility - Signature Gilded Editions | Jane Austen

#Pemberlittens It's time! I have several editions I will visit but this will be my main one. Gorgeous and has a ribbon bookmark. S & S has 50 Chapters so 2 Chapters a Day, if that's your preferred reading. I'll probably aim for that but may get to a spot and want to finish. How about you? ? #JaneAustenThenAndNow

"The family of Dashwood had long been settled in Sussex."

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Deblovestoread @Librarybelle @julieclair same! I got up this morning excited to start. @Graciouswarriorprincess I've got you on the list. 1d

Graciouswarriorprincess Thank you! 1d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @staci.reads I was having trouble with your tag. 1d

Crinoline_Laphroaig For those who use Storygraph I just made a Challenge there:
https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/crinolinelaphroaig 1d

staci.reads @Crinoline_Laphroaig I don't know why that is happening, but the same thing happens in another challenge I am tagged in, and then I don't always get notifications. Keep me tagged, but I'll check the hashtag periodically, too, so I don't miss out! Thanks! 20h

Crinoline_Laphroaig @staci.reads I think it's the period between Staci and Reads. When I tag you individually on Litsy works fine. But when I Copy my list of Participants from Google doc and paste in Litsy, tagging stops with staci. Maybe try adjusting your name to something without a period. Just a thought. 13h

SarahBookInterrupted Tag me and I joined the StoryGraph challenge too. 59m

Crinoline_Laphroaig @SarahBookInterrupted will do! now

My answers:
1️⃣ Reread. I first read several years ago and have often revisited. When choosing books, I knew was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the busy holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ Continuations and Filling in the Gaps. I don't like when Jane's original stories are tampered with. I prefer the Regency Period but make it different. I feel like Modern Day Retellings are the hardest, especially Pride and Prejudice. A woman isn't going to starve in the hedgerows these days because they didn't get married.

3️⃣ Anne de Bourgh is definitely plotting and or waiting for when she inherits Rosings Park to go absolutely wild. ⬇️
3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ Mistletoe Mismanagement by Elizabeth Adams. I love seeing Elizabeth and Darcy happy together at Pemberley.

5️⃣ I have 3. Inspiration for book:
"I went up to the Great House between three and four, and dawdled away an hour very comfortably.” Jane wrote in a letter to her sister Cassandra.⬇️

3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig “No, dear, they are coming with us to Rosings. I need all these books if we are to spend a fortnight there,” Elizabeth replied. - By A Lady by Lona Manning

“Really? You can march against Napoleon, but you cannot find a way to talk to a lady in your cousin‘s home? I fear for England!” Mistletoe Mismanagement by Elizabeth Adams

6️⃣ Lady Catherine. At least could escape and walk the gardens of Rosing.⬇️
3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣. I love that these stories edited by
have proceeds benefiting Chawton Great House. The former home of Jane Austen's brother Edward and is now the Centre for the Study of Early Women's Writing. Just a short walk from Chawton Cottage a place Jane often visited.⬇️
3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig And that's a wrap on 2024! Join me in January for #JaneAustenThenAndNow Book Club celebrating the 250th Anniversary of Jane Austen's Birth when we read Sensibility and Sensibility. I'll be back later with more details.

3d

julieclair 1️⃣ First read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I listened on audio while in the car, and the short story format was perfect. 3d

julieclair 2️⃣ Continuations and Filling in the gaps, for the same reason you stated. Jane‘s original stories are sacrosanct. I do enjoy modern settings, though. 3d

julieclair I didn‘t really have a favorite story - I enjoyed them all. And I didn‘t write down any favorite quotes because I was driving, but I remember laughing out loud at the Napoleon quote you referenced above! 😂 3d

julieclair 6️⃣ Mrs. Bennet for sure. I have known several people in my life just like her, and have learned to tune them out! 🙉😂 3d

julieclair 7️⃣ I agree… I love that the proceeds benefit Chawton Great House. I actually plan to purchase a physical copy because of that. 3d

julieclair What a fun reading year we have had together! Thanks for hosting, and picking such great books. I‘m excited for #JaneAustenThenAndNow ! 💙😃💙 3d

julieclair @mcctrish (correcting the spelling in the tag list above) 😘 3d

mcctrish Thanks @julieclair 3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair so much fun! And this was great one to end 2024 on 2d
