so-so

Finished this up on my lunch and I love Fanny Price but as a friend and I decided the other day, she's kind of a sad sack. My heart aches for her. She reminds me so much of the timid, shy child I was growing up. The heartbreak she must have felt being surrounded by such bumbling, egotistical idiots all the time made this hard to read at certain points. And I don't think Edmund was deserving of her love. #mansfieldparkreadalong #janeaustenreadalong

MerinEliza Yeah i felt edmund was undeserving of her love too. This is one of my least favorite Jane Austen books. 6y

LoverofLit @MerinEliza My favorite parts was actually the lively discussions between Edmund and Miss Crawford on the pros and cons of being a man of the cloth! And the rest was just meh 😄 Glad I'm not alone! 6y

MerinEliza Yeah i remember that part. Have you seen the movie? They even changed a lot. The movie was a bit cringey with the changes they made. 6y

The cover of the kindle edition was just as boring as this last page. This was a good book - poor Fanny! And that Aunt Norris - what a piece of work! #mansfieldparkreadalong #janeaustenreadalong

Ten year old Fanny leaves her poor family, to live with her mom's sister and her family and Mansfield Park. The Bertrams are wealthy and Fanny is introduced to a different lifestyle. Like in all Austen novel there's drama and love stories, but some of these feels a bit more modern and if I hadn't known that novel is written in the early 1800s and would have thought it was written today.

This dramatization was marvelous. I loved hearing David Tennant's and Benedict Cumberbatch's voices. But I do think you lose something by listening to a dramatization versus reading the book or listening to a more traditional audiobook. I am going to try to fit in an actual re-read this month.

Jen_Reads I‘m hoping my copy gets here soon. I could have gone to an actual bookstore, but since starting the new job I‘ve gotten far too lazy. 6y

sammisho @Jen_Reads be lazy, girl! 6y

Jen_Reads @sammisho the sad thing about that is every night I‘ve sat with a book beside me and have only read 20 pages. 6y

sammisho @jen_reads sometimes you just need a reading break! I had one for a few weeks last month. 6y

Daisey I really wanted to participate when it came to Mansfield Park, but there is no way I can fit it in this month. Enjoy! 6y

sammisho @Daisey I can barely fit these books in myself and it is MY readalong! I get it! 6y
