If you're wondering where to start with Jane Austen, this quiz may help! https://bookriot.com/first-jane-austen-book-quiz/

Andrew65 Thanks for this, it‘s pushing me to Northanger Abbey, which is possibly the one I was going to start with. Kismet! 5mo
jenniferw88 @Andrew65 I also think Northanger Abbey would be a good fit for you. We both like mysteries, and Northanger Abbey is possibly my favourite Austen (I've re-read her several times, so I'm probably going to finish reading her letters instead). It's close between this and Sense and Sensibility, but Rickman, as Brandon, has A LOT to do with this 😆 5mo
Megabooks It‘s telling me this one and the storygraph‘s AI is saying I‘ll like it too so maybe… 🤔🤔![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Megabooks Thanks for the link! 5mo
JacqMac Thank you! It says I should read Emma. I keep trying to read Austin, but I can never get through them. I have never tried Emma though. 5mo
jenniferw88 @JacqMac, do you like the matchmaking trope? Emma is perfect if you do! Austen does describe her as a character not many people will like, however, but she does grow on you. The book used to be #6 in my order of favourites. It's now #4. 5mo
jenniferw88 @Megabooks, just be aware that Mansfield Park has Mrs Norris, who is, for fans of Austen's works, one of her most hated characters. She's a bit like Professor Umbridge from HP. 5mo
jenniferw88 @JacqMac I must admit that Emma contains my favourite love declaration in it out of all her works! 5mo
Soubhiville Oh my gosh what perfect timing! Thank you for sharing this! 5mo

BarkingMadRead I got Persuasion. P&P is my fave but maybe I will read this one instead! 5mo
CatLass007 I have an audio collection of Jane Austen‘s novels. I think I‘m just going to read them in the order in which they‘re presented. So Emma is first. I have to confess that as many times as I‘ve watched Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, with side trips to Alan Rickman in Sense & Sensibility and Ciara‘s Hinds in Persuasion, I‘ve never read an entire Austen novel. I decided that I needed to rectify this ASAP. I don‘t really like the narrator (cont)⬇️ 5mo
CatLass007 in the omnibus edition, so I‘m listening to Emma as narrated by Jenny Agutter. Emma is interesting because she‘s so much in denial about what she really wants. I‘ve only listened to about 25% of it but that seemed obvious to me almost from the beginning. 5mo
BookwormAHN I got Northanger Abby, that should work for me 😺 5mo
IndoorDame I got Persuasion. I‘d been thinking I should reread Mansfield Park since I‘m in the middle of Godmersham Park right now, but it‘s been ages since I read Persuasion and that might be perfect! 5mo
gossamerchild Persuasion is the BEST. I mean, aside from P&P 🤣. This is Gina be tricky for me, because I've read all her finished works. Maybe I'll read Sandition. Or Northanger Abbey, as it is my least favorite. Tricky tricky 🤨 5mo
Bklover I got Sense and Sensibility, but I‘m thinking Emma because I like my copy of Emma. 🤷♀️ I do, however , like the idea of an Umbridge, @jenniferw88 Gonna have to think about it! (edited) 5mo
SconsinBookyBadger P&P is the only Austen I‘ve read. I might go with Mansfield Park that was chosen from bookriot quiz. 5mo
AmyG I am going to read Emma as I have never read it…and I own it. 5mo
erzascarletbookgasm @Megabooks It says I should read Mansfield Park too! 😄 5mo
perfectsinner Mansfield Park 5mo
Karisimo This was a fun quiz! I took it out of curiosity because I‘ve already read all her works. It gave me Emma! 5mo
Gissy So fun that quiz...and the result was....Northanger Abbey, no idea what it is about🤷🏽♀️☺️ 5mo
Laughterhp I got Persuasion! It‘s one I‘ve never read before, so I‘ll give it a try! 5mo
LibrarianRyan Thanks 5mo
