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!

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...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...

First Line Friday: Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake

Happy Friday Friends :) There's so many reasons I'm excited that it's once again Friday. I'm excited to be taking part in another edition of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books , but I'm also excited to be featuring one of my favorite author's new releases for this week's edition. First Line Friday simply consists of sharing the first line from the book you're currently reading, and today I'm going to be sharing from Mandi Blake's new book, which released last week. Remembering the Cowboy by Mandi Blake: About the Book: They have unfinished business. She just can’t remember what it is. Camille Vanderbilt is headed back home to Wyoming with one goal: find her old best friend and give him a piece of her mind for ghosting her six years ago. She won’t let anyone stand in her way… until a deer runs into the road and causes her to wreck and forget almost everything. Noah Harding lives a simple life as a firefighter and rancher until Camille cras...
