READING MANSFIELD PARK // a jane austen reading vlog ft. a trip to the lake district

[@prrari22]

I found Mansfield Park so funny because of the authorial voice! Don't know if that's the correct term, but there were so many instances were I felt Jane Austen herself was commenting on the action as an older, wiser woman who's watched/experienced a lot of young romance. I also love the fact that Fanny is so shy and quiet, because it makes her ultimate refusal in volume iii so much stronger. You don't have to be snarky/witty/spunky to still STAND YOUR GROUND

I genuinely love the changing of the clocks, time change in Autumn, I view it as being able to light tons of candles, put on my salt lamp, fairy lights, and cozy favourite lamps even sooner and for more time each night, to wind down and begin the cozy parts of the day like having a hot bath, reading, watching a movie, baking, or just cuddling on the couch with some tea or hot cocoa. I think it's all a matter of perspective ❄✨ love your videos!

[@ciarascorner]

See I love all the candles and cosy vibes BUT I just wish daylight would last slightly longer because it makes me so tired and also filming in reduced daylight is definitely harder!

[@Randomsingingdude]

Yay! Can’t wait to get cozy with some tea and a blanket and watch this when I get home from school :)

I really enjoyed this reading vlog. The music is so calming. I actually read Mansfield Park last month and i'm so excited to hear how you like it.

[@amandab7125]

I LOVED Mansfield Park. I found how insufferable Fanny was to be hysterical and the interactions between all the characters to be generally funny. Henry’s arc I also found interesting. I think this Austen novel felt quite contemporary to be honest which may be an unpopular opinion. So surprisingly very into Mansfield Park.

[@prrari22]

I agree that this one felt very contemporary! The romance was very gripping for me

[@andreeastiopu1831]

I haven’t read this book yet, but I want to do it as soon as possible. I just love all your videos! Xo

[@YourTrueShelf]

Really enjoyed, of course 😊 I haven't read sense & sensibility or Mansfield Park (not sure I want to now haha). Of the other 4, Emma is my favourite too, definitely. I loved your edition, it's so pretty! And your nails omg they're so stunning - are they gel polish or acrylics?

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

[@amandamatoso1787]

I loved the intro

[@ciarascorner]

Thank you so much!!

[@grodriguez7225]

It’s been a long while since I’ve read Mansfield Park. I would reread it now, but right now my tbr is to full‼️ I feel you daylights savings time has been 😜 ‼️ Hooray it’s J’s 🥳‼️ 😋🍕‼️ I like your new 💅🏼! Ps: I finished Velvet Was The Night and The Hounds of Baskerville both of which I liked! Now I’m currently reading Aristotle & Dante Dive Into The Waters of The World, it’s a 🎢 and I think I should be done with it by sometime next week‼️ I got 40 chapters and 300 pages to go in The Truth of The Divine, it’s intense but in good way!

[@ciarascorner]

Thanks so much!!

[@nl-uf2gb]

Cuuute opening

[@ciarascorner]

Thank you!

[@ANA-il6js85]

Didnt read this one, dont have it, need to buy it 🤣, but im sooo excited for Emma, i read it for the first time this summer and it became my favorite Jane Austen novel, before it was Pride and Prejudice ☺️.

[@ciarascorner]

Emma is just the best ahhaha - so excited to reread!

[@theokiereader]

Happy BDay, Jay!!!! The stream by the mossy tree makes me feel like a little Tinker Bell will come flying out at any moment. What were the years on the tombstones? I love graveyards! I’m only on chapter 5 of MP. :( I’m so far behind lol.

[@ciarascorner]

Such a beautiful place! The grave was William Wordsworth and his family so around 1850!

[@dibibliophile]

Can you please tell me the number of this edition of Mansfield park's pages??!!!

[@MartinDSmith]

Would you have enjoyed Fanny's character more if the audio book was voiced by Tony Montana?😂A belated happy birthday to Jay!

[@ciarascorner]

Hahahha can’t quite imagine Fanny saying “say hello to my little friend”😂 but maybe it would have made it better hahha

[@staticprevails13]

When you started off by saying how you’re not one to be down on things but.. I thought you meant the novel and was like same girl same…oops. But still happy to hear your thoughts

[@ciarascorner]

😂

[@Bloomingsnowyflower0101]

Hi Ciara, hows your day been (so far)?

[@ciarascorner]

Wonderful - thank you!!

[@perennial6612]

I actually loved Fanny and Edmunds relationship. Edmund was probably rather kind to her than she who loved him. I saw it as a one- sided love I guess that's why I liked it from the beginning even though it was slow nonetheless

[@ciarascorner]

I can definitely see why it would be a nice relationship, I guess I just didn’t really see the romance and more so it felt like a close family member thing!

[@st4rs34rch3r]

First viewer and I love your videos

[@ciarascorner]

Thank you so much!🥰

[@st4rs34rch3r]

@@ciarascorner OMG you're welcome😭

[@misanthropistbookworm]

I HATED Mansfield Park, I hated almost all of thre characters, I hated the ending, I though it was all so boring and stupif and they were all so... BLEH! Definitely, my least favorite book by Jane Austen. :(

[@pokerbitcchhfacee4760]

Uff so passionate lol
