panUnfortunately Northanger Abbey is not my cup of tea.. and this view from the toilet in the Jane Austen Museum was the most interesting part of the tour 😳 #sorrynotsorry #boringAF

Jas16 I was honestly really disappointed by the Jane Austen museum as well. My favorite part was the gift shop. 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Ha!! 🚽 well, at least there‘s that! 7y
Meredith3 @Jas16 yes the gift shop was really nice! All the books were so gorgeous, but based off my dislike of NA I decided against getting any more Jane Austen books. 7y
Meredith3 @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled heck ya! 7y
Arcana You should have read Pride & Prejudice first. I laughed so hard that I had tears running down my face! Northanger Abbey is not JA‘s best novel. (edited) 7y
mrp27 😂😂 7y
BarbaraBB Haha! 7y
minkyb Fun family travels! 7y
Mdargusch The museum was definitely not the greatest @Jas16 7y
Christine11 Is it the Bath museum ? I love Austen but thought that museum was terrible 🙁 7y
Meredith3 @BarbaraBB my family definitely made it fun 😹 7y
Meredith3 @Christine11 I don't have much experience reading Jane Austen, but I have to agree with you on the museum! 7y
britt_brooke 😆 I haven‘t read this, but I didn‘t much care for P&P. 7y
Cinfhen Don't tell your sisters...I'm not a fan of JA 🤐 7y
Cinfhen She's totally #overrated!!!! 7y
Meredith3 @Cinfhen omg I LOVE YOU! she was a total #snoooooozefest !!! 7y
Cinfhen Hahahahaha...I'm still recovering from #GWTW and now they suckered me into #Dunces #WhatABunch🙄 7y
Meredith3 This is Emily reading this over Mere's shoulder ... You're in trouble @Cinfhen !!! ☝🏻 7y
Meredith3 @Cinfhen omg GWTW was a real marathon for me, and I gave up on lonesome Dove, so we shall see how #dunces goes 😳🙄 7y
Cinfhen Oh crap...forgot about #lonedove...I bailed on that one 😬and now @emilyhaldi is onto me 🤭 7y
readinginthedark I‘ve never been to the museum, but I love Jane Austen. Northanger Abbey is my least favorite of her novels; it has a completely different tone from the rest of her books. 7y
Meredith3 @readinginthedark 🤔 hmmm maybe I should give JA another chance?? 7y
readinginthedark Here‘s my advice (and I will never say this about any books other than classics, so please don‘t accuse me of heresy): watch the movies first. That‘s what I did. Preferably any versions that came out in the 90‘s, because those have been the most accurate so far. If you like one of those, read the book. You‘ll get the basic plot and romantic storyline you loved in the movie, plus all of the added witty social commentary. 7y
Meredith3 @readinginthedark that sounds like great advice! Thank you so much! I will definitely plan on doing that! 💕 7y
readinginthedark 👍🏻I hope it works! But I know a few people who don‘t really like JA. Don‘t feel bad either way! 😉 7y
Reviewsbylola I think that‘s great advice. @readinginthedark Sometimes it helps to know the plot through all that antiquated language. 7y
readinginthedark @Reviewsbylola Agreed! 7y
