august 21st 2019 — done studying for the afternoon. i think i’ll pick up my notes later tonight and reread everything i’ve studied thus far. so now i’m gonna read on beauty, i’d like to reach page 100 and the tale of two cities and i’d like to reach page 150. i’m not sure it’s doable but i’ll try 😃

Book shopping. Who else buys multiple copies of their favorite books when they stumble across new and different versions? And which book do you have the most copies of? (Me: Little Women, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Secret Garden, Jane Eyre, The Wind in the Willows, In Cold Blood, Dracula, We Have Always Lived In the Castle, and The Haunting of Hill House.) 📚❤️ #books #ilovebooks #canterburyclassics #bookshopping #airportbookstore #chicago #bookstagram #mybrightplaces #bookcovers #myfavoritebooks #ireadclassics (pc: @silent_rhino ) (at Chicago O'Hare International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B40F9EqJZfX/?igshid=mcnuc2eysd34

What 3 books would you choose to have with you if you were stranded on a deserted island for the next 25 years? . Admittedly you’d have much worse problems than book choices but I think books would definitely make the situation better! My top 3 book choices would be: 1)A compilation of Jane Austen’s stories (I know that’s cheating! If I had to pick only one it would be Pride and Prejudice). 2) The Bronze Horseman because it is epic and absolutely amazing! 3) Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover because that books gives me ALL the feels! I really wanted to choose a Fantasy novel but all of my favorites are series and it’s so hard to choose one book from a series! . 📖Gorgeous Jane Austen set of bookmarks by @sonnetandfable ! I know I’ve gushed over these before but they’re just so beautiful I had to do it again! . 📚Beautiful Jane Austen book set by @juniperbooks I seriously want ALL of their book sets! #janeausten #janeaustenbooks #janeaustenquote #classiclit #ireadclassics #classicliterature #classics #sonnetandfable #bookmarks #bookmarkshop #juniperbooks #custombooks #bookcollection #bookset #cozyvibes #cozyaesthetic #booksandtea #teatime #bookaesthetic #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #igbooks #igdaily #flatlay #bookflatlay https://www.instagram.com/p/B1hYE8MA8EQ/?igshid=11ush69sckeyt

october 24th 2019 — day 5 of holidays: today i didn’t do anything special, i went grocery shopping, checked the mail and didn’t find my copy of the secret commonwealth, was disappointed, then went out for a walk in the city and checked the mail again to find that my copy had arrived and i am so happy. it’s huge. it’s glorious and i am so glad i get to read it soon. i say soon because now i’m too engrossed in lady audley’s secret to put it aside. so i shall read both of them at once. what about you? how was (is) your day? and what’re you reading? . . #ladyaudleyssecret #maryelizabethbraddon #amreading #currentread #currentlyreading #entraindelire #book #bookstagram #booklion #booklover #bibliophile #ireadclassics #pel #penguinenglishlibrary #livre #lecture #classics #penguinbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AKO_BoNbW/?igshid=ouck8bs4gknl

I finished my Pride and Prejudice reread yesterday and even though I have read this book multiple times... I loved it all over again. It never gets old for me, I still find myself admiring Elizabeth Bennet, cringing at Mr Darcy’s initial proposal and swooning at the second, laughing out loud at Mr Collins ridiculousness, wanting to smack Lydia upside her ridiculous head and falling for each of these characters all over again. This book is pure magic and even if you have never read a classic I would recommend it! I also would recommend the Audible Audio version narrated by Rosamund Pike (who plays Jane in the 2005 movie) she is such an amazing narrator on this one! Her performance and portrayal of each character is absolute perfection! Now that I have gushed and gushed and gushed some more I will just say thank you to the #ardentlyaustenbookclub and @paperbackbones and @alchemyandink for encouraging me to read this book (and all of Jane’s works) again! .

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” -Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey 🍄 The first time I read Northanger Abbey I thought it was hilarious. Every time Catherine thinks she’s found some kind of Radcliffe-esque “secret of the Abbey” it turns out to be a figment/ exaggeration of her imagination! Despite this book being a “parody” of a tradition female gothic novel, which y’all all know I love, and it being written by Jane Austen, who y’all all know I don’t love, I still enjoyed it! If you’re convinced that you “can’t understand classic literature” then give this book a try and let me know how it goes! 😘 ➡️QOTD: How do you feel about classic books? If you like them, what’s your favorite? If you vehemently hate them, why? 📚 🦊🍄🍁🍂🦊🍄🍁🍂🦊🍄🍁🍂🦊🍄🍁🍂 #northangerabbey #janeausten #prideandprejudice #mansfieldpark #emma #senseandsensibility #classic #classicbooks #ireadclassics #book #fiction #fantasy #youngadultbooks #youngadultfiction #youngadultfantasy #bookish #bibliophile #booklover #booknerd #bookcover #bookworm #bookaddict #bookporn #writer #blogger #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookishpeepsies #emmareadsforfun (at University of Mary Washington)
