This year, I'll be reading Persuasion once again, and I am so looking forward to it.

I'll probably be starting a week early to keep on top of my January reads (somehow I've managed to get involved in too many), but if I remember correctly, this book is not as large as some of her others, so I should be able to keep up. I'm really looking forward to it! I just love read-alongs!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-53197402837029595142014-12-11T04:35:04.427-08:002014-12-11T04:35:04.427-08:00So excited you'll be joining us!

My least favourite is Northanger Abbey. I understand that it's supposed to be a Gothic satire, but I still haven't been able to gain a proper appreciation of it. The wonderful thing about Austen is that each time you read her novels, you gain more appreciation for them. Yes, it is a shame that she didn't live longer!Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-47491014149938734702014-12-10T19:01:27.264-08:002014-12-10T19:01:27.264-08:00I love Persuasion!

It's hard to pick a favorite but Persuasion is definitely a contender. If I had to pick a least favorite I'd have to go with Emma but that does not mean I didn't love Emma too. They are all just so good. I only wish Jane had lived long enough to write another half dozen.CJ_Applehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111811006111280391noreply@blogger.com
