One day we are going to hang out in person, have cookies and tea, watch Pride and Prejudice, and craft the whole time. I've never heard of What Matters in Jane Austen puzzle book, that one sounds really intriguing! I'll add it to the TBR
Yes!!! I can't wait... cookies, tea, Pride & Prejudice, and crafts, and maybe the boys can watch the kids. What Matters in Jane Austen is fantastic! I think you'd really enjoy it 💕
I had so much fun last year and will be participating again this year. I can't wait!
Hooray! Happy almost Jane Austen July!❤️
So excited! I too am not a huge fan of Sense and Sensibility but I also find that I get more out of it with every reread. I think this year will be the third or fourth time reading it, and I'm sure I'm going to love it a little more this time too. I'm intrigued by that recipe book, I love reading about what people ate and drank in the past, and it sounds like it would be fun to try some of those recipes.
Also that gimmicky Time Travel Jane Austen Retelling where she's the protagonist's neoghbout has just gone straight to my TBR shortlist. It sounds delightful.
Yes! I am so excited for this year. We'll have to see if our appreciation for S&S increases with this read. I love learning about the history of food too! We should chat more about it in general sometime. 💕
Your enthusiasm is wonderful! Thank you. Although little can compare to Jane Austen's writings, Hamerston Hall by Jane Eastbourne is good.
Thank you! And thank you for the recommendation as well! ❤️📚
Thanks for this video. I always love your announcement videos for this readathon! 😊 I just posted my own video for Jane Austen July. I really enjoyed Sanditon on PBS and was not expecting it to me anything other than a creative continuation. I actually preferred S2 to S1 and really looked forward to seeing how the Lord Babbington/Esther Denham story unfolded. Just fun! Have a great week!
Thank you! Maybe I'll give Sanditon another chance. It's looking like it might be an August project at this point. I'm woefully behind in watching Booktube (and may never catch up), but I've added your video to my watch later list. Happy Jane Austen July! 💕📚
So excited to participate this year! I have a bunch of great books planned for the readathon.
Hooray! I can't wait to hear more about them as July swiftly approaches 💕
I'll definitely joining in with Jane Austen July this year! I have three books queued up already and may have a few more by the time July comes around.
Wonderful! I love your enthusiasm and can't wait to hear more about your Jane Austen July reading plans! 🥰
Marissa, this will be my FIRST Jane Austen July! 🤗My plan is to reread Sense and Sensibility since ya'll are reading it as one of the readalongs. I actually read it in April/May of this year, but it was fractured reading which I think impacted my overall enjoyment of the novel. So, I feel like a reread is necessary before rating and reviewing it. I hope that makes sense. 😂 I am a Jane Austen newbie. Even though I have a couple of her novels and books related to Jane Austen, I had only read years ago Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (loved it 😛) prior to reading Sense and Sensibility this spring. I'm also considering listening to it on audiobook this time around and see if that helps as well. Not sure what else I'll be reading or watching throughout the month, but I'm excited to take part in this readathon. I appreciate all of the resources listed below as well as your recommendations.
Oh my goodness! Happy happy FIRST Jane Austen July!! I hope you're enjoying your S&S reread. I love the Rosamund Pike audiobook if you're interested. I hope you are enjoying anything else you planned to pick up this month as well 📚🥰
I’ll be reading Emma. It’s the last of Austen’s books I’ve yet to read. No doubt I’ll want to watch a screen adaptation or two once I’m done.
Emma is one of my favorites! Not everyone agrees with me though I have to admit. My favorite Emma screen adaptations are definitely the 2009 BBC version, Clueless, and Emma Approved. I'm not as big a fan of the Gwyneth Paltrow version or the 2020 version, but they're not bad either. If you can't pick, I just recommend watching them all lol. 😂
Oh yay - S&S is the only Austen novel I haven't read. So I'll join in the readalong. Think I'll also plan to read either Lucy Worsley's Jane Austen at Home or What Matters in Jane Austen. We'll see if I get to anything else
I'm delighted that our plans align so well. I hope you enjoy S&S as well as whichever of the phenomenal nonfiction choices you pick. Happy almost Jane Austen July! 🥰
So excited it's almost that time of year again!! Looking forward to seeing what you'll be reading. Right now I'm reading The Other Bennet Sister for the 3rd time 😆
Hooray! It's definitely a book I'd like to reread at some point. Happy almost Jane Austen July! 💕
@@BlatantlyBookish Happy almost Jane Austen July to you too!
I recommend one I read a month ago by Syrie James - 'The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen'. Thoroughly enjoyed this story/author and immediately went to purchase all her other books! ' Jane in Love' by Rachel Givney was a cute story about Jane Austen time-traveling.
I think I picked up the book by Syrie James at a booksale recently, but then one of my friends said she didn't enjoy it. I actually DNF'd Jane in Love. It was sent to me as a proof copy a while back and I thought that the writing style was unimaginative, trite, and not representative of Austen from the very first page. I'm glad you enjoyed it though! I hope you have a wonderful Jane Austen July!
@@BlatantlyBookish Jane in Love was a more entertaining read than anything else. I too agree with it not being a true representation of Jane Austen. The Syrie James books are also fiction - but the author notes in the book do lead you to believe she's done her research with some 'truths' in the story. I just love anything I can pick up that is Austen related. Have a great week! and thanks for being here :)
Will try to catch you on some read along, I think I’ll focus on reading persuasion, listening to Northanger Abbey and watching the most recent Emma. Lucy Worsley is doing her Jane Austen talk near where I live and might possibly visit Bath (only short trip on train)
I hope you are having a great Jane Austen July! I'm so jealous that you get to see Lucy Worsley in person! Enjoy! 📚🥰
I'm in. Sooo glad that I found your channel or that it found me. My favorite is Persuasion. Thank you for doing this and I look forward to JAJ!
Wonderful! I'm delighed that you stumbled upon my channel. I can't wait to hear all about what you pick up this Jane Austen July!
So very nice to see you again, Marissa! Looking forward to July 💟
Thank you! I hope you have a fantastic Jane Austen July! 🥰
Jane Austen is my “female author of the year” and this read-a-thon is perfect to help me keep going! Excited to join the community 😄
Wonderful! Happy almost Jane Austen July! 💕
Just found your channel. Can’t wait for JAJ. Jane Austen has been my favorite author since i read my first Austen at 13 or so. Persuasion is my favorite Austen novel. I am looking forward to delving into some of the modern retellings.
I'm so delighted that you've stumbled upon my channel! I'm so excited for Jane Austen July this year! I love your enthusiasm and can't wait to hear more about what you pick up in the coming month! 🥰
So many great possibilities you have researched! What fun, thank you!
Thank you! I can't wait to hear more about what you end up reading for Jane Austen July! 💕
It's good to see you again! I'm looking forward to Jane Austen July and the chance to re-read Sense & Sensibility. I also plan to read Emma which the only JA book I have not yet read. Glad you are again co-hosting the event because I have always enjoyed your videos. Have a wonderful time at the beach!
Thank you and happy Jane Austen July! I hope you enjoy your reread of S&S and your very first read of Emma!! Emma really is one of my favorite Austen novels. It's definitely in the top half. I can never properly rank Austen novels though. The order switches too frequently and they're all so wonderful in their own way.
There is a book called Martha Lloyd's Household Book which a number of authors have edited and annotated. Martha Lloyd was a close friend of Jane and Cassandra Austen, lived with them (possibly as a sor of housekeeper) and eventually became their sister-in-law. The book is a collection of recipes and notes about running the household.
Oooh this book sounds fascinating. I wonder if it's something I could get my hands on. I'll look into it. I hope you enjoy Jane Austen July! 🥰
Welcome back! I can't wait for Jane Austen July. I am looking forward to rereading Sense and Sensibility as well as doing all the other prompts.
Thank you! I can't wait to hear all about your rereading experience and what you choose to read in the coming month! Happy almost Jane Austen July! 💕
I’m so happy to see you here-and excited about this year’s Jane Austen July! For a while when I was young, Sense and Sensibility was my favorite Austen. That seems to be unusual!
Thank you! Oh, I'd be interested in hearing more about why S&S was your original favorite Austen novel and which book has since replaced it and why. Happy Jane Austen July! 🥰
Yay!I was just thinking about JAJ last night. Looking forward to it ❤
Hooray! Happy almost Jane Austen July! 🥰
I'm making my reading plans already. Lovely to see you making the announcement.
Thank you and hooray for Jane Austen July! I can't wait to hear all about your reading plans this year! You always make such wonderful Jane Austen July content. 🥰
So good to see you and hear your voice, Marissa! I am most excited to read "Jane Austen's Wardrobe" by Hilary Davidson, which I think came out in 2023. And I also plan to re-read S&S and Mansfield Park, and maybe re-read What Matters in Jane Austen. Enjoy your JA July!
Thank you! It's good to be back. I hope I find the time and energy to keep filming. I would love to read "Jane Austen's Wardrobe" as well. It'll be in my TBR video, but I honestly don't know if I'll get around to it this month. You'll have to let me know how it is. Happy JA July! 🥰
So excited! I love Jane austen July
Me too! I love your enthusiasm, and can't wait to hear how the month goes for you! 🥰
I am so excited about JAJ this year, and the group plans line up exactly with the plans I had already made for Jane's works. I look forward to reading S&S and the two novellas. I also plan to read The Real Jane Austen, so I love that it's one of your favorites.
Oh perfect! I'm so glad our plans align with yours. The Real Jane Austen is fantastic. I think you'll really enjoy it! 🥰
You know I get so excited about this Readathon and May have ordered two books for the Readathon. I was planning to re read sense and sensibility, maybe we can chat about it. Lovely to see you too. May watch clueless with Mia
Hooray! I'd love to chat about S&S together. I can't wait to hear about which books you've already ordered. And do let me know how Mia enjoys Clueless. It's such a favorite of mine, but I always wonder how younger generations feel about it.
Welcome back!
Thank you! I'm hoping to keep up the momentum, but it's been tough lately.
Looking forward to another Jane Austen July! I laughed at your Netflix "Persuasion" advice--it's only funny because it's such a dumpster fire train wreck of a movie. I knew I wasn't going to like it and didn't bother with it when it first came out, but I watched it last July and it exceeded my vexation expectations. That would make a good title for something: Vexation Expectations. 🙂
Hooray for another Jane Austen July! I absolutely adore the phrase "exceeded my vexation expectations." There's something rather poetic about it, and I feel exactly the same way. 💕
