Wonderful news! I need a Jane week in the worst way...
ReplyDeleteWhere do I begin with Jane Austin?
ReplyDeleteIs there a chronological order?
New to Jane Austin, but it intrigues me....would like to indulge more into it.
Thank you,
Faith
Faith, I am sure Laurel Ann, who wrote this post, will weigh in as well. I started out with Pride and Prejudice and then read Sense and Sensibility. I must admit that I read Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey last, but I enjoyed Northanger Abbey so immensely that I wondered why I waited so long to read it. I read Emma and Persuasion somewhere in the middle.
ReplyDeleteAt this stage I like Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice the best, but that is by a smidgen, as I crave anything written by Jane Austen and, like an addict, reread all her novels periodically. Each time I glean something new from these well thumbed works.
