Welcome to Litsy!

I didn‘t enjoy this as much as I hoped. I loved the premise—two researchers go back in time to befriend Jane Austen & recover a lost Austen manuscript. There was a wonderful attention to the details of/preparation for time travel, but overall it just felt too serious. I would have preferred a lighter tone—more Austen-ish, to be honest. I‘m not sure if I had too-high expectations, or if I just prefer my time travel lighter & perhaps less realistic!

Trying to decide on an audiobook to start tomorrow... too many good choices!

One of the better Austen-related novels I‘ve read so far. If you like historical fiction, wish you could have met the amazing Jane, and don‘t mind a little time travel, this could be the book for you.

My full review, with only two penis references, is on my blog. 😂

My August #tbr is loaded with SO MANY NetGalleys for the #reviewathon, with several audiobooks thrown in for when I can‘t sit and kindle. Plus, three books for my various book clubs, and whatever else strikes my fancy. 😃

I do have the tagged Austenesque book planned, too!

Traveling for work gave me the chance to work on my Litsy TBR list. Rachel & Liam go back to Regency England to try to recover letters & a complete copy of The Watsons written by Jane Austen. I should‘ve read the blurb more because I was caught off guard by the time travel & thought the Watsons were a previous team that had gone missing. The first 2/3 of the book was kind of slow, last 1/3 was good, ending meh. Maybe I‘m not an audio book person.

A story about travelling back in time to retrieve a lost Jane Austen manuscript. What‘s not to love! The love story element didn‘t work for me but on the whole it was a fun, little easy read. Great for any Austen fans! 👍🏻 3.5 stars!

Doing some #audiocleaning to the tagged book and caught Tilney lording over the homestead 😹 #catsoflitsy

Flour literally just pulled this book off the shelf. I think I‘ll take this as a sign of what to read next.

I really enjoyed listening to this novel. Combines my love of Jane Austen with sci-fi...felt like an unwritten Doctor Who episode.

This was my birthday present. The project mission is to travel back in time and get hold of Jane Austen's letters and a completed manuscript of The Watsons. It reminded me of Connie Willis' time travel books. I found the description of the Austen family and the ending well done and fitting, but didn't care much one way or the other about the time travelers and the love attachment. Still a good read, though.

Blurry cat plants on human. BOOK BE DAMNED.

Loved this book about two time travelers who go back in time to recover an unpublished Austen manuscript. I won‘t say anything more, but recommend to Austen fans! #turnbacktime #literaryluck

I am using the tagged book for January's prompt for this challenge

@Schnoebs

I am using the tagged book for my choice for this prompt for my #popsugarchallenge

Good. Even though at first the writing was a bit stilted the story managed to come out as an interesting concept and enjoyable. Recommend for any Jane Austen fans.

I 💙 both Jane Austen and time travel! Thanks so much, @sprainedbrain for this great #kindlitsy gift! 😊

FYI this is now $1.99 on Amazon for the Kindle edition, I‘m not sure for how long.

Two researchers are sent back in time to retrieve a lost Austen novel. Their mission is to meet, befriend, and rob the famous novelist...but they soon find themselves in over their heads. This was a fun, diverting read. I really liked how they played with time travel, and how they weren‘t sure if their actions in the past would affect their future. It‘s the perfect book to curl up with on a rainy day-with tea (and smoothies!) included.

I loved this book. Time travel and Jane Austen are two of my favorite things. They are combined here with wit and amazing writing.

@bullbunny please email me the Litsy name of who had me. I searched for her but no one is listed. She didn't sign her Litsy name and I wanted to tag her and send the pic also. I will send her a snail mail thank you but wanted to thank her on Litsy❤️🙂

Woohoo! #hellofrom package from New Jersey. Brings back such sweet memories of when I was an exchange student in New Jersey my senior year❤️I remember bringing my parents salt water Taffy🌊🍭 I love the books and shirt-can't wait to wear it. Thank you

I really loved this one! Two researchers travel back to 1815, they think to recover a lost Austen manuscript and Jane‘s letters to her sister Cassandra. Their mission ends up being something much greater, and when they return to modern day, they find they have drastically altered history. Recommend for any Austen fan!

I hope to finish this one in the next two days! It‘s so good!

Up next on my #labsoundtrack. I think I‘ve read every single book with a Jane Austen-related title. 🤣

This was a Libby loan that finally came through after weeks and weeks of waiting.
A very intriguing premise, an interesting plot and an ending that was both somehow uplifting and depressing at the same time (for me). Very imaginative and evocative. This was deeper and more emotional for me than I expected. 4.5/5⭐️

One of last year's #austeninaugust reads. Definitely a #best for me. I loved watching a modern woman navigate life in Jane Austen's day. It's very timely-wimey. Ending gave me all the feels. 💙 #austenesque

A good read although some of the concepts I was a little weary of it is fiction 😝. I liked the storyline, events, and characters but I‘m so used to writers like Johanna Lindsey, Mary Balogh and Jane Austen that this was a little different for me. Still it flows so overall great read 😋📖

Starting this book from my tbr cutting that list down while I have the chance 😋📖

Last flight back to AK. Looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again!

Heading out on a trip to California for a conference tonight. I was really hoping my #BOTM would show up before I left, but I have these ones to keep me company anyway. Only bringing two because I have lots of backups on my phone to read if I finish these.

Also I will have a 36 hr layover in Seattle on my way back home, so anyone with bookstore recommendations in the city?

Finished this in 1 sitting. Though I have mixed feelings about the ending... It was an incredibly interesting read. Especially for an Austen fan. #JaneAustenforever #singlesittingread #interesting

4 hours straight of cleaning, laundry, and packing...now rewarding myself with starting a new book before passing out tonight!

Fun and well researched time travel story. I‘m half sci fi nerd and half period geek, so this was right up my alley. Really enjoyed it and appreciated how authentically the period was depicted. I personally liked the ending.

Life has been crazy hectic in the last week. Between work and taking care of my dad along with all the chores, I‘m exhausted. I‘ve been listening to this on my way to and from work. Finished it over the weekend but haven‘t had time to post yet. I really enjoyed it. I loved everything about Jane and also the concept of time travel in making changes. Interesting ending as well.

So my dad injured himself on Sunday. An ER visit Sunday, surgeon visit and MRI on Monday, and right now a pre-op visit(pretty windows). Surgery tomorrow morning.

I‘m on the 2nd to last disc of this book which I‘m really enjoying.

One of my irises finally bloomed! I‘m really enjoying this book so far. I‘m listening to it on my way to/from work. I‘m kinda glad I‘m listening to it since the one character is American, but acting British and the reader is including that.

I am a tad bit behind, Today, I was able to open my #JaneAustenSwap from @Mitch They we‘re just what I needed this crazy backwards week. I love Jane Austen‘s world. I live in the South and I grew up with those sweet Southern manners. The items that @Mitch choose for me were perfect. I wish I could say I had a favorite they all are. I apologize again for being late. I can not wait to see what I will do with my stamps. Thank you!!!

Thank you SO MUCH @CrowCAH I love everything!! What an awesome assortment of bookish things. The pen is especially cool, and I love tea!! And I‘ve been eyeing this book for such a long time!! I can‘t wait to start it 😁 a thousand times, thank you 😉 #janeaustenswap

More amazing gifts from the fabulous 4thhouseontheleft for the #Janeaustenswap. I can‘t thank you enough! You made this Janenite”s heart full of joy! @sprainedbrain

A huge Thank You for these amazing Jane Austen gifts to 4thhouseontheleft! I love the mug and socks the most as they have been on my wish list forever!! And that tote is amazing! Another picture with more great gifts! I can‘t thank you enough!! @sprainedbrain

A bit of a slow start but the historical fiction was good. I liked the idea of Jane Austen having lived longer and writing more but I wish that more of the science was explained or at least talked about.

Heading to the post office to mail this for the #janeaustenswap. I may have gotten too many fun items for my swap. I enjoy shopping for this swap as an Janenite!
