Great answers Anne and thanks for the shout out. I must get copies of her letters. Quotes from her letters. -“I will not say that your mulberry trees are dead; but I am afraid they're not alive. ” -[On buying a "sprig" for her sister's hat:] "I cannot help thinking that it is more natural to have flowers grow out of the head than fruit. What do you think on that subject?" -[To her sister Cassandra, on the birth of a son to one of their sisters-in-law:] "I give you joy of our new nephew, and hope if he ever comes to be hanged it will not be till we are too old to care about it." -"Your silence on the subject of our ball makes me suppose your curiosity too great for words."

Love those quotes! I read her letters a few years ago, and enjoyed it.

[@FacelessBookReviews]

Had to laugh at the part where you talk about giving someone part of a horse. 😂

[@insearchofwonder]

Haha I mean I guess it's possible but not without being gruesome lol

[@AaronReadABook]

Thanks for doing the tag! Jane Austen is one of my favourite authors so I loved this spin on it. I still need to read The History of England and her letters.

[@insearchofwonder]

Oh, the History of England is funny! Her letters are fun, too.

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

Fanny was the one I thought of for Pawn, too!

[@insearchofwonder]

Yeah she definitely fits!

[@ArtBookshelfOdyssey]

I’d love to do this tag! I love how you focused on Jane Austen, it gave a fresh approach to it.

[@insearchofwonder]

Do it! I'd love to see it!

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

See, I thought of Tilney and Edmund for the bishop.

[@insearchofwonder]

Yes, there were several possibilities! She did like to have religious characters. I guess since she grew up in a pastors family that makes sense.

[@CandlewickLibrary]

I love that you combined it with Jane Austen!

[@insearchofwonder]

Thanks, I can answer any Bookish question with Austen. 😂

[@Kats_stories]

Great answers! I like your spin on this tag! My husband loves chess - he has an app that he plays chess on.

[@insearchofwonder]

Yeah I think my boys have played it on an app before. I'm just not into it at all. 😂

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

Let's be real, all of Austen's leads are strong female characters in their own way.

[@insearchofwonder]

So true! But so different kinds of strengths. ♥️

[@protagonistspub]

This was fun! And Jane always wrote strong female leads, even if they took some time to fit into that definition. 😊

[@insearchofwonder]

Yes, absolutely! 💯

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

I had forgotten about the house in S&S!

[@insearchofwonder]

I read it fairly recently or it wouldn't have occurred to me. I also watched the BBC adaptation not too long ago.

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

@@insearchofwonder Just realized I said house instead of horse. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@insearchofwonder]

@@MorgansEndlessBookshelf lol that's ok. Dumb autocorrect! We all learn to interpret it, haha! 😆

[@MorgansEndlessBookshelf]

This one looks like fun!

[@insearchofwonder]

It was fun - you should do it!

[@miriamelizabethreads]

Such a cool tag!

[@insearchofwonder]

It was fun to do!

[@junewood3012]

You did a fine job with this Tag - everything Austen 🩷

[@insearchofwonder]

Thanks! To be honest, I can answer any Bookish question with Austen somehow or other. 😜
