Starting third book in series. Have not seen the TV series at all but books seem good.

Second book is still very good. Uhtred is supporting Alfred in spite of what he thinks of him. His dark witchy woman becomes a Christian. His wife leaves him. Big battle at the end. Very readable for me.

Ruthiella I‘ve only read the first book but it was very good. This is the kind of historical fiction I like. 12h
KCofKaysville @Ruthiela. Yes. Could be compared to O‘Brian‘s sea novels with Capt. Aubrey for interesting and fun reading. 11h

Chapter 13 (Volume II, Chapter I) "One man‘s ways may be as good as another‘s, but we all like our own best. And so you must judge for yourself, whether it would be better for you to go about the house or not.” Persuasion

Wise Words from Admiral Croft.

Another edition on my Wish List - Dover Thrift Edition paperback. Just love pattern on cover. Very autumnal. ?????

Thank you so much for this lovely gift, Megan! @TheKidUpstairs ☺️

I bet you thought it was lost in the post, didn‘t you? It looks like you posted it in September! 🤨

I‘m glad you like it so much and that makes me look forward to reading it even more! ❤️

TheKidUpstairs I'm so glad it finally arrived! Between overseas shipping and the Canada Post strikes, I thought it might not get there 🤦‍♀️🤣 1d

"no one so proper, so capable as Anne!”- Persuasion. Things go wrong and you need someone like Anne.

I've loved this little seating area I made that looks out over the kitchen garden. Perfect for early morning cups of tea and reading Jane Austen.

Need to make room for citrus trees to overwinter. Will definite bring back in the spring when citrus go back out to the patio. ?☀️??❄️

Crinoline_Laphroaig Table will go back to my library. Need chairs as I extend dining room table for holiday meals. Plus it's time for reading by the fire. 2d
Crinoline_Laphroaig As for Persuasion, raise your hand if everytime you read this chapter you hope Charles just picks Anne up, puts her in the carriage, and says 'DRIVE ON!' 🙋🏻‍♀️ 2d

November walk inspired by yesterday's chapter. Had our first hard freeze in the morning. Afternoon was perfect for wearing my new Irish sweater and hat. Laphroaig scarf found awhile back on Ebay. I'm slowly replacing things like these that I lost in house fire. Love how they match this Persuasion.

Today we're off to the seaside (virtually) - "The young people were all wild to see Lyme."
