I don‘t know anything about this book except that it involves three favorite Litten authors, Jane Austen, Mrs. Gaskell, and Charlotte Brontë. And it‘s free for #Kindle today. #ebook #kindlefreebie

lil1inblue I'm intrigued! Thanks for sharing! 3w

1. We last moved in 2003. Just completed a renovation of our home so we can lively here comfortably for another 20+ years. 🤞

2. Tagged book for a classic where a character moves. Billy Summers by Stephen King for a more recent one.

I enjoyed this far more than expected, having never really heard of Gaskell and expecting a poor man‘s version of Austen. The depiction of class in 19th century England and the emergent union movement were very interesting and distinguished this text from most of the 19th century romance I have read. It is far from perfect but I am pleased I took the time to listen. Juliet Stevenson is a wonderful narrator.

dabbe I loved reading her CRANFORD this year. I'll have to read this one, too! 💙❄️💙 3mo
mjtwo Will definitely give that a read, @dabbe 3mo

Watched the BBC adaptation of North and South with the book club girls @VioletCavalier @hkapusta @WonderingGypsy . It‘s a fairly good adaptation of the novel; after all it is a four hour miniseries!

DGRachel I love it so much. 💖 4mo
CrowCAH @DGRachel both are super enjoyable! 4mo

This was my first time reading this author and it won't be my last. I loved how she touched on the classes and brought to life Victorian industrial Era. Will be in the top 10 of favorite reads this year.

dabbe The #pemberlittens read CRANFORD back in May and loved it, too! They also read NORTH AND SOUTH a while back and loved that as well. 😍 7mo
LeeRHarry I recommend checking out the miniseries - it‘s fab 😊 7mo

1850s novel set in industrialized northern England, a combo of romance and exposure of social injustices. https://cannonballread.com/2023/02/north-and-south-elcicco/

Book haul (right after my unread book post 🙈)! These new Harper Muse Classics are gorgeous!

staci.reads Oh, I've been SO tempted by that Gatsby every time I see it! 😍 1y
GinaKButler @staci.reads It‘s even prettier in person. I‘m probably going to pick up Jane Eyre and Little Women, too. 1y

Book sorting rescues - a Folio edition of the tagged Gaskell and Memoirs of the Early Italian Painters from 1875. Not that I'm super interested in Italian Painters, but it's such a lovely little thing.

IndoorDame Such great finds! 1y
jlhammar Gorgeous! I‘m hoping to read at least one Gaskell in 2023. I own three (Cranford, Wives & Daughters and North & South) and haven‘t tried any yet. 1y
Aimeesue @IndoorDame I am extremely fortunate to live in a pretty affluent, well read area where a lot of the older citizens are downsizing. We get a lot of great donations. We also get a lot of garbage - today there were SEVEN books about vitamins. Who needs that many vitamin reference books?? 😂 1y

Aimeesue @jlhammar I've only read Cranford and North & South. Cranord was more fun! 1y
LeahBergen I have this Folio edition, too. Nice score! 1y
Aimeesue @LeahBergen They're so lovely! At this point, I have too many for my shelves, so I only bring home the ones I capture in the wild. Happily, the Folios are abundant around here. 😁 1y
LeahBergen I‘m the same. I don‘t buy them new! (edited) 1y
