Chapter 10 has inspired me to get out for a November walk this afternoon. Especially since it's cold & I have a new sweater.🍁🍂

Sorry I'm not showing off the edition I've been reading (the Annotated Persuasion, highly recommend!) but I need to geek out over my weekend trip up north and visits from chickadees that will eat right out of your hand. 😍 Making good progress on the story, though- Anne is shipped off for a time to wait on her spoiled hypochondriac sister Mary, and of course, Wentworth starts coming around! It is painful and awkward and I love every second of it.
Chapter 9 - "It was soon Uppercross with him almost every day." - Persuasion
Captain Wentworth is causing drama!
Tour of print editions ends w/ Wordsworth Classics. It has such amazing detail. I particularly love it because it was a gift from a Pemberlitten after the house fire. ???

I asked kiddo if she‘d like to watch a movie of P&P tonight, and she was excited about it - and then told me she‘s already tried the manga version on hoopla and thinks it‘s pretty good. I‘m so happy! 🥰
Chapter 8. "They had no conversation together, no intercourse but what the commonest civility required. Once so much to each other! Now nothing!"
Anne and Wentworth always together but so far away.
Morning cuppa and a chapter from Word Cloud Classic edition. I love the quotes on the cover and it's a book that just feels good in your hands. ???

We finished it today! The first volume was a real struggle to get kiddo to sit and listen. Around the Collins proposal she started to get a little more interested, and then the last week or so she‘s actually been invested. Yesterday she asked if we could just finish it because, “Okaaaayyyy, the last few days it‘s actually been really interesting.” 🥰 👇🏻
Chapter a Day Extra - I really enjoy having this on my Kindle for reference but I don't like reading from it. Annotations distract from the story. After I read my chapter in my print copy I go back and look to see what notes it has. ✍️📖📚

Chapter 7 “It is over! it is over!” she repeated to herself again, and again, in nervous gratitude. “The worst is over!” - Persuasion.
Captain Wentworth has arrived!
Morning cuppa and a chapter from 1996 Book of the Month Edition. I'm still looking for Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice editions. Love that they include illustrations from Hugh Thompson. 🫖📖📚
