Welcome to Litsy!

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

Sorry I'm not showing off the edition I've been reading (the Annotated Persuasion, highly recommend!) but I need to geek out over my weekend trip up north and visits from chickadees that will eat right out of your hand. 😍 Making good progress on the story, though- Anne is shipped off for a time to wait on her spoiled hypochondriac sister Mary, and of course, Wentworth starts coming around! It is painful and awkward and I love every second of it.

Chapter 9 - "It was soon Uppercross with him almost every day." - Persuasion

Captain Wentworth is causing drama!

Tour of print editions ends w/ Wordsworth Classics. It has such amazing detail. I particularly love it because it was a gift from a Pemberlitten after the house fire. ???

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.
