What is one of the best surprises you have had this year? OR What are you reading.
For me the best surprise of my year happened when A Jane Austen Year Celebrating 200 Years of Jane Austen arrived on my doorstop from Jane Austen's House published by Pitkin on Valentine's day! ❤ Yes, Valentine's Day! (My husband luckily brought flowers, but I did tell him it was hard to top the book) Happy to be on the book tour with Austen Prose
It has been a delight to read through A Jane Austen Year! I felt like an insider learning about the many of the details that are in Jane Austen’s novel. The book is divided by month and includes photographs, drawings, letters, Austen book quotes, Regency history, and information on Jane Austen’s life and home. I found myself reading a little each day as the book continues to bring me joy. I was drawn in by the letters that Jane Austen had written to friends and family, the family portraits, and history of her home. Such an amazing read!
This is the ultimate book for any fan of Jane Austen, someone who loves the Regency time period, or appreciates beautiful books. Truly, you cannot go wrong reading or giving to someone as a gift. This will be one of my top favorite books for 2025. I very highly recommend A Jane Austen Year!
I was given a complimentary copy and not required to write a positive review.
