One of my favorite authors. 🙂
Isn't it sad that Jane Austen died so young? I certainly wish there were more books of hers but the few she wrote are so well-regarded. I've read 3 and definitely want to get to the others.
I love Austen's works. 🙂 Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorites. I hope you like it.
Thank you for your post, Whitney! 🙂
Jane Austen is always a pleasure to read. Her early death does make one wonder what other wonderful works she would have left us if she's lived longer.
More Jane Austen the better! =)
I enjoyed your post and I LOVE the "she is too fond of books and it has turned her brain" logo/photo for your blog! Love some Louisa May!
Northanger Abbey is my favourite Austen novel. 🙂
