Do you have a favorite book, author, or movie that you like to quote? I love to quote Jane Austen, and so does my husband on occasion. It seems like Jane always has something to say that is pertinent to a situation in our life. Some of my favorites are below.
You can imagine how thrilled I was to be part Austen Prose's book tour for Jane Austen’s Little Book of Wisdom Words on Love, Lie, Society and Literature compiled by Andrea Kirk Assaf and published by Red Wheel Books. This beautifully written book is filled with quotes from her literary works, letters, poems, and personal prayers. The book is divided into seven different themes each with quotes from her various works.
I have found myself sneaking away to read the quotes that were both familiar to me and many that I was just discovering! The format of one quote per page made it easy to read and reflect on. It is simply delightful!
This is the perfect book for anyone who is a Jane Austen fan, loves quotes, or enjoys great literature. The small and friendly size of the book makes it perfect to put in a cozy place to enjoy. I have mine on an end table next to my favorite chair. I highly recommend Jane Austen’s Little Book Of Wisdom.
I was given the book by the publisher and not required to write a positive review
