It’s Jane Austen July! | My TBR and Recommendations

[@BlatantlyBookish]

Happy Jane Austen July!! You have so many wonderful selections to read this year. I hope you do get around to reading one of Gill Hornby's books. They're both fantastic! I haven't read Georgette Heyer yet either. Her book, Sylvester, snuck onto my TBR, but in all honesty I probably won't have time to read it this month. People have suggested that it's not a bad place to start with Heyer's novels and also recommended Venetia and Frederica. I love all of your recommendations as well. Octavia Cox's channel is brilliant! I love watching her when I have the time. Anyway, happy reading this month! 💕📚

Love Octavia's channel! I've made my Jane Austen July TBR and started today with "Miss Austen" and ofcourse the first 3 chapters of S&S.

[@karlalikestoread]

Isn’t her channel fantastic? Hope you enjoy your reread! I would love to know how you end up liking Miss Austen!

I love Northanger Abbey! I reading Sense & Sensibility for the group read and I can't believe how many times I have lol'ed again. The books never cease to bring enjoyment. I love The Other Bennet sister. Great recommendation! Happy Jane Austen July!

Happy Jane Austen July! I definitely agree, her books are always enjoyable. Thank you! ❤️

What a great TBR! I hope you love Gill Hornby, and I definitely need to read Rory Muir in the future. For Georgette Heyer recommendations, Venetia is definitely my favorite.

I love your recommendations, this will be my first Jane Austen July!

[@karlalikestoread]

Yay! Congrats on your first time participating! I hope you have an amazing time and thank you so much ❤️

I love the idea of an annotated edition to add to the experience of a re-read. Your non-fiction choices sound so interesting and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Happy Reading! 😄

[@karlalikestoread]

Thank you so much! Happy reading to you too 😊❤️

Hello, I've just discovered your channel thanks to Jane Austen July. I'm reading the Rory Muir at the moment and enjoying it so much. I would recommend Venetia, Frederica or The Grand Sophy to start with Georgette Heyer. I would love to know which of her novels you end up reading. Thank you for your recommendations! The Deirdre Le Faye book looks so interesting.

@@sarahel19 I’m really enjoying the Rory Muir book too, Sarah! Thank you for the Georgette Heyer recommendations, they help a lot, and thank you for your lovely comment 😊🩷

Have you seen Love & Friendships ( Lady Susan- Kate Beckinsale) - one of my favourite films EVER.

[@karlalikestoread]

I haven’t! I might add that to my tbr 🤔

[@janeaustenliteracyfoundation]

@@Gillian.Ashcroft.66 it’s such a hidden gem! I love that movie.

[@shirley244]

Have you read Hamerston Hall by Jane Eastbourne? It has many similarities to Jane Austen's novels and is about the same length as Sense and Sensibility or Pride and Prejudice

[@karlalikestoread]

I haven’t heard of it! Thank you so much for sharing, I will look into it 😊

[@monee8623]

Would you be interested in The Nonesuch by Georgette Heyer? I like it!

[@karlalikestoread]

@@monee8623 Thanks for mentioning it, I will look into it! 😊

[@Gillian.Ashcroft.66]

I'm going to read Mansfield Park - last time I read it was at school ( had no choice & also a very long time ago ) 🙄

[@karlalikestoread]

Oh that’s great! I’m one of those weirdos that really loves Mansfield Park, it’s my second favorite. I hope you enjoy your reread!
