pickI think this is my favorite installment of this series so far! Mansfield Park isn't my favorite Austen so I was hesitant to spend more time with these characters but I thought their growth was well portrayed. And I was so happy to have Jonathan and Juliet back together! Their reunion was so sweet. The mystery was fun to follow but I'm here for the slow burn romance lol. By the end the stakes were high and I'm so ready for the next book!
pickI love this series! However, I didn't love this 4th addition as much, mainly because I don't like Mansfield Park that much. I find Fanny and the rest of the Mansfield characters a bit insufferable. However, I did like Fanny‘s ending and I gained a lot of respect for her after her brother confided something very personal to her. I found the ‘will they wont they‘ a bit overly dramatic and I didn‘t like the ending plot twists at all. Low pick.
Happy National Read a Book Day! 📖
I'm celebrating with my kindle and a nice view ⛰️

I finally remembered to take a picture of my current #Crochet shawl from the Always Austen first quarter shawl box I subscribed to through Wonderland Yarns 🧶
I enjoyed this more than any since the first book. The romance is really heating up and there is *drama*! And the solutions of the mysteries are cleverly deduced.
I'm hoping the next book will have a HEA because I'm not sure my heart can take much more!

Fanny and Edmund are very happy that Sir Thomas is planning to sell his Antigua plantation, so the family will no longer bear the sin of being involved in the slave trade.

pickAnother Mr. Darcy & Miss Tilney mystery for my annual celebration of Austenian August. I love that with each addition to the series, Gray has more of her own characters/lore to weave in & refer to, as well as those of Austen‘s novels that are the foundation.
As this one featured so much from Mansfield Park, I worried I wouldn‘t care for it as much - that‘s my least favorite Austen by a large margin - but I should have had faith. A delight.
