Things that have happened today:

First, I woke up in no kind of mood for reading at all, so no readathon for me.

Then, I acquired some tasty Chinese food and came home to a giant box from Drunk Austen... it‘s my fashionably late prize package from #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice in December and Omg how awesome is all of this?? 😍

Now, I do believe I will have some tea and watch something Austen-adjacent. 🙌🏻

#Pemberlittens, look at my new books!

Reading this book truly makes me happy to have been born in modern times. I could not survive regency England! No matter how much I enjoy Austen😳

#AustenInAugust #WhatWouldJaneDo

I don‘t have to question, I know; she left me a handbook 😁

(12/18)

Crinoline_Laphroaig It surely involves tea! 6y

Quick, easy read of lists and short paragraphs about Jane Austen‘s life and the era she lived in.

“It is thought that [George Austen] might have been deaf, because Jane mentions talking to a deaf man ‘with (her) fingers‘ in one of her letters—she might have learned sign language to communicate with George.”

So last night I was reading the Jane Austen Handbook and drinking spiked eggnog—which somehow resulted in the purchase of an Apple Watch. 😬

Mitch You will NOT regret it! Love mine ( bought it in black, only regret was I was t brave enough for the pink!) 6y
Megara @Mitch I‘ve wanted one for a while. I like the idea that I can swim with it on. I love the pink, but I‘m looking at a watch band on Etsy that‘s made out of the same silverware set design that my Grandma used. ♥️ Which gen do you have? Have you tried swimming with it? 6y
Mitch Yeah - I swim with mine every day. The lap count and metre readings are pretty accurate. It‘s defiantly helped me stay on track with fitness! Especially as I share my activity stats with a few friends - and none of us want to miss out on the weekly medals! 6y

Megara @Mitch weekly medals? That‘s awesome! I love gamifying fitness goals because otherwise I‘m lazy about it. 😂 6y
Mitch Once you get into it , let me know and we can share ! 6y
Megara @Mitch Absolutely!! 6y

This chunky 'How To' guide to Jane's time and world has examples from her books but is mainly descriptions and definitions. Not dry though! Good info with illustrations in a fun tone - mildly cheeky - since it is from Quirk Books. Fun to dip in - and super useful if you ever want to time travel 😉
Makes a nice pair on my shelf with my Saint Jane candle - showing the text on that one for your amusement 💕
