I am about 3/4 of the way through and I can almost feel how lonely Charlotte was after the deaths of her brother and sisters, so sad

#Day29 #SomethingForSept my current read is actually short stories of the county I live in. I don't normally read short stories as just when I start getting interested they end, but these are short little tales which are quite entertaining

#Day27 #SomethingForSept not quite a villain, more a lovable rogue-Willoughby, I really want to believe he cared like Emma Thompson wants me to, but I think Austen had other ideas

#Day21 #SomethingForSept I do like a long rambling Russian classic- anybody recommend my next one?

#Day20 #SomethingForSept I haven't actually picked these to read as yet. The books at the top are set locally so they should be interesting, but I'll probably read Poldark first!

#Day19 #SomethingForSept I blame litsy for these 2 books, my expanding tbr, for downloading serial reader, starting audio book listening and despairing that I will never read all the lovely books!

#Day9 #Something4September I love this book, it was my first 'adult' book when I was 13 and I couldn't read it enough times. However the film broke my heart- it was the first film for which I said the phrase "that's not the same as the book". It finished half way through the book and didn't get to the best bits.

Not as romantic as I'd thought, I think I will stick to fiction concerning smuggling or piracy. Still an interesting read after my holiday in Cornwall.

I haven't had much time to read this lately. It's making me appreciate the time that I am alive and what I am able to achieve, however I did visit a second hand book shop....

I'm still part way through but so far I can see how it's a classic, but I'm not sure it's one I will happily re-read
