I’m all about taking time out, even for 15 minutes, if I get overwhelmed! Now that the holidays are over, getting that recharge time is a lot easier.

Be forewarned if you haven't seen Materialists yet, this does a really deep dive into the movie while cross-referencing Jane.

It's more of an article discussing the yearly Jane Austen Festival in Bath rather than a special event; however, this does go into one of the locations, the Francis Hotel. The Francis Hotel is a Grade I hotel in Bath. (A Grade I structure means it is a building of significant interest.)

I think it's safe to say that Austen's work illuminates the Regency era while the Brontës rebelled the Victorian era. What do you think?

Yes, it's another review of Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (which I LOVED) but if I had not read this, I would not have known about an upcoming graphic bio of Jane coming out in late October 2025!

A thing I love about Austen's work is how immensely quotable it is. All you need to do is open up one of her books and you'll soon enough find a quote to your liking!

A seasoned Janeite will already know all of this, but if you're new to Austen, this is a good biography of her life. (Tom Lefroy not withstanding.)

Kate Beaton is a comic artist who had a semi-regular web series called Hark! A Vagrant! (http://www.harkavagrant.com/). She's ended the series, but her archives are a wonderful backlog of her poking fun at history.
Her spins on the Brontës and Austen never fail to amuse me.

I was not aware that a new S+S is coming down the pipeline! It's from Focus Features (who also did P+P 2005) so hopefully this will be good. Additionally, Fiona Shaw plays Mrs. Jennings here, AND she's playing Lady Catherine de Brough over at Netflix's P+P. She's on an Austen kick!

A round-up of events held this year to celebrate Jane's 250. SURPRISINGLY (I am genuinely surprised), NPR got at least one date wrong, claiming the balls were held in 17th C garb. LAZY REPORTING!

With Austen, it's of two societal classes trying to make it work. The exception would be "Emma" and "Northanger Abbey." With the Brontës, , such as Jane, a governess to Rochester's niece (so definite class imbalance), and Heathcliff was a servant to Cathy. What are your thoughts on this topic?

A well-thought-out piece on Austen, her influence, and where to start reading her works. The author is cognizant that where to start with Austen is super subjective so she breaks down what book you should read and why.

My amazing friend, Steph , was in the Thumb area of MI with her partner recently and snapped this photo for me. (Steph is also an Austen fan, ofc.) Mansfield Park is the least favorite of Austen's novels. Well, it competes with Northanger Abbey. What is your opinion of MP?

The mystery isn't solved and we'll never really know.

Sponsored by the WFWA, Women's Fiction Day is a celebration of women's fiction readers and writers. It's held annually on June 8.
(ABSOLUTELY Austen's works are women's fiction! Her stories are not just about romance, but about the emotional journey and growth of her heroines.)

This essay develops deep into Jane's "The History of England from the Reign of Henry IV to Charles I," which she wrote when she was 15. It also compares how Austen used history as a plot point in "Northanger Abbey." I've never gotten my hands on Jane's history book; has anyone read it?

The title, of course, is pearl-clutching, but digging deep, it turns out the house Jane visited no longer exists in the current structure, which was built in 1865, far after Jane’s death. Clearly clickbait, but it's interesting, nonetheless!

I've said this before, but it does bear repeating: As 2025 marches on, loads and loads of articles on Austen and her 250th will be published. But each story I've read so far has its own hook, so it is worth publishing.

What Austen or the Brontës write about women and their financial standing in the 19th C is still going on in the 21st. Hell, women couldn't get their own credit cards until the early 1970s! #AmReading #AmWriting @npub1ny7…uv57 #books #Bookstodon

I checked the website's validity before posting, and it is a nonpartisan UK daily paper, so it's a listicle with better-educated opinions. 2022 Persuasion is on here, which genuinely surprised me, considering all the hubbub, but hey, I also like it!

I don't think I'll ever tire of people talking about Jane's influence on their lives and work. It's fascinating how a single book can impact so many in so many different ways.

The first movie that came to mind when I saw this cartoon is Netflix's redo of Persuasion, which SO MANY PEOPLE HATED because of the alleged "modernity." (I really like the movie, and I stand on this hill.) #AmReading #AmWriting @npub1ny7…uv57 #books #Bookstodon #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #Regency #Georgian #JaneAusten @npub1me9…z28v
