Thank you very much to the gifter who sent me Emma! A reread of Jane Austen is on the near horizon…

    So Adam is doing his Austen in August . Join in if you can. I will join after missing it for last few years and re read Persuasions to purify myself from the modern rendition on Netfix

    I understand that the new Netflix ‘adaptation’ is a HEAVILY modernised version. It looks a particularly hot mess. I’m going to consider my blood pressure & avoid it! [lol]

      A friend of mine said it was fun, if you forget you’re watching Persuasion…

    Beautiful cover.
    Persuasion is my favorite Austen. I don’t have Netflix, so I can’t check it out anyway, even if I wanted to.
