Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead Thomas Hardy nailed it though. I‘m impressed. 6mo

Bklover Unbelievable. Just Unbelievable. 🤯. I am starting to love Thomas Hardy though, almost as much as I hate Alec! (edited) 6mo

dabbe “I'm sorry I raped you, but now I'm a preacher; oh, now I'm not because you had to up and show your too beautiful face, and now I'm back to being creepy rapist Alec who wants to marry you.“ #wtf 🤬

Is Angel actually going to be an angel and come to her rescue? 🤔 Hmm. #thisishardynotdisney 6mo

Librarybelle This is really the part of the book that made me want to throw the book and scream the first time I read this. This time, I kept exclaiming in disgust so loud that the cats gave me odd looks! 😂 In all honesty, I think these strong emotions that are stirred up from this book are why I like it so much. And imagine - a man wrote this! 6mo

Clare-Dragonfly Can somebody please punch this guy???? Many times?! 6mo

julieclair @Librarybelle You‘re so right. It‘s hard to imagine a man wrote this. And in 1891, no less! I am definitely a Hardy fan. 6mo

Daisey I just recently finished Clarissa, and I thought it would be a while before I felt so much disgust with a character. Now, Hardy has me feeling almost the same about two characters. He definitely wrote it well. 6mo

currentlyreadinginCO I'm curious about how this all was received in 1891 6mo

Bookwormjillk Gross is right 10mo

Bookwormjillk Also so out of character for Elizabeth to try and talk G into a marriage she doesn‘t want 10mo

Ruthiella His timing couldn‘t have been worse. Sure, he didn‘t know about William, but her cousin is practically on his deathbed! 10mo

dabbe Is it just me or does it seem like his rushed “falling in love“ is similar to Kitty's? Being a “man“, though, he gets to take it all the way to a proposal, which is (like everyone has already said) GROSS! 🤢 10mo

willaful Well, if Tom goes back to Isabella Thorpe, he'll definitely #GetWhatHeDeserves. 🙄 10mo

Emma | Jane Austin

pick

My concentration is off, so listening to this audio was actually perfect. I enjoyed the story well enough although at times it‘s rather slow and plodding. Emma Woodhouse is NO Cher Horowitz, #AsIf but I did find her somewhat charming and likable. The full cast narration was delightful and pushed this book from a so-so to a pick. #JennyIs30 #Regency For someone who does not usually enjoy the Classics, I think audio is the way to go 👍🏻🎧

Reviewsbylola, jenniferw88

jenniferw88 Yay! Glad you enjoyed this one - it's actually my least favourite Austen, but I believe everyone has a different order of preference for her novels! 4y

Cinfhen I‘m going to try P&P on audio @jenniferw88 but not quite yet 4y

BarbaraBB My least favorite Austen as well but you managed to tick off another square! 4y

TrishB I‘ve found a Waterloo novel in hubby‘s piles for this prompt! 4y

ravenlee This one and Mansfield Park are my least favorite Austens. Clueless is so much more fun, one of the best updates I‘ve seen. 4y

LeeRHarry #asif 😂 4y

Cinfhen Waterloo makes me think of ABBA @TrishB 😂🤪I‘m thinking of reading A Tale of Two Cities does that work for 18th century @jenniferw88 ?? 4y

Cinfhen Clueless is one of my daughter‘s favorite movies and I never knew it was meant to be an adaptation of Emma @ravenlee @LeeRHarry #LiveAndLearn 😉 4y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen yes it would! 4y

Reviewsbylola I love that audio is working so well for you! 4y

The Jane Austen Society | Natalie Jenner

Hmmm ... sounds like a catchy title for a movie. 😹 #AsIf

This ARC reminds me a bit of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (which is a compliment).

LeahBergen I‘m looking forward to this one! 4y

I Can't Make This Up: Life Lessons | Kevin Hart

#problemsofbooknerds This is my struggle all day, everyday. Only I also have to make room for my stethoscope and hospital education papers/books. My bags are never big enough, and my co-workers say, "you don't always have to bring a book to read". #asif

Chrissyreadit What an odd thing for them to say. 7y

readordierachel This is why I carry tote bags instead of purses. Books need room. 7y
