Jane Austen Book Tag

Good Morning Everyone :)


I hope you're all doing well!


In case you didn't already know this about me, I adore Jane Austen.


There's just something about her books that still resonate this many years later, and there's very few things I love more than curling up with a cup of tea, and reading a beloved Austen novel.

However, it actually took me quite awhile to get around to reading any of these well loved stories. I read Pride and Prejudice for the first time right after my college graduation, and I loved it just as much as I always thought I would. However, it wasn't until last year that I actually picked up any more Austen novels, and I ended up reading Northanger Abbey and Sense and Sensibility. This year I'm determined to finish her remaining three novels (not taking into consideration her numerous extra works), and so far I've already finished Emma, and Persuasion. 

My favorites so far are definitely Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey, but I've honestly enjoyed them all.

Now this long winded intro is to introduce a book tag that I'm very excited to be taking part in, The Jane Austen Book Tag that was created by Thoughts From Nowhere over on Youtube. 


Sense And Sensibility: A book with a dynamic sibling relationship:

                          





One of my favorites, and unique in that the siblings included are actually triplets. 



Pride and Prejudice: A book that at first did not seem interesting, but after reading it you found it very much enjoyable:


                            





I had asked my husband for Snopshot by Angie Stanton for Christmas, and him not paying any attention to the author, ended up buying this one by Lis Wiehl instead. I didn't think it was going to be a book that would interest me, but I ended up loving it, and honestly, I ended up liking it way more than I did the Angie Stanton one.


Emma: A book in which two close friends fall in love:

                                


No one's probably surprised to see a Kasie West book featured on my blog, but this is the perfect choice for this category.



Mansfield Park: A book with a "rags to riches" story plot:

                                  



Still one of my favorites with this type of trope.




Persuasion: A book involving second chances:

                             

I adore second chances romances, and this one by Becky Wade is one of my all time favorites. 



Northanger Abbey: A book with an almost overly imaginative character:

                                          

Somedays I'd really love to have Jo March's imagination :)



Thanks so much for reading guys! I tag any of you that want to do this!

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Characters I'd name a child/cat/dog/car/ etc After.

Happy Tuesday guys! I enjoyed Top Ten Tuesday so much last week, that I decided to go ahead and take part again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish, and here's the link to the main page if you're interested in becoming a part of it: http://www.brokeandbookish.com/p/top-ten-tuesday-other-features.html Today's topic is: Ten Characters I'd Name A Child/Cat/Dog/Car/ etc After, and I think it's going to be a really fun one. First, Characters I'd Name a Pet after: 1) Katsa from Kristin Cashore's Graceling: I have to start with Katsa, since it is actually what we named our adorable black and white kitten almost a year ago. She's grown so much since this picture, but this was taken right after we decided on her name. We tried several different book characters, but Katsa is the one she loved right away, and so is what we ended up going with. 2) Rose from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academ...
