If Jane had to answer and could not lie, I'd ask her what really happened with Tom LeFroy.

Here's another round-up of events happening across the UK to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th. A correction to the article: Jane’s work never went out of print.

Don’t be fooled by the title. The author dishes more blow-hearted opinions than answers the question he posits.

Overton is barely mentioned when we hear about where Jane Austen lived, and she lived near it for the first 25 years of her life! The walking trails do seem lovely. I’m glad Overton is taking the reigns to celebrate Jane’s legacy.

Mr. Lisa and I are doing a podcast called "When Grumpy Meets Sunshine" where we read a romance novel and discuss it. Don't know when the first episode will drop but today we set up the podcasting equipment. Here is a rough cut of what we sound like! www.lisarabey.com/wp-content/u...

While there is daylight, there is no direct sun so why the pictures look a bit dark. As of Friday, we’re up to 114” of snow. Our plow guy was here this morning when we left to take Thursday out for her morning constinutional so I wanted to get pics of a before and after he plows. 10” this weekend.

FFS, even Vogue UK falls into the spell of using, “It’s a truth universally….” This isn’t a list of “dreamiest” adaptations but a list of adaptations in the last 30 years. All the favorites are here…including the 2022 Persuasion (which I LIKED). https://buff.ly/4jPRKjj #BookSky

I have failed for my Jane Austen empire by not writing an essay on celebrating Valentine's Day in the Regency era, so have some Pride and Prejudice cards instead!

Well. I suck! I had EVERY intention of writing an essay on Valentine's Day in the Regency era (it was a thing!) but time got away from me. :( So here is a few Valentines to tide you over! 💘

I think this is the toughest question I've asked so far! If friendship, Lizzie Bennet. If situationship, Wickham. If love match? Cpt. Wentworth. I think. :) #BookSky

A great review of the Jane Austen inspired queer YA graphic novel, “I Shall Never Fall in Love.” (More queer Austen inspired books, please!) #BookSky

I can confidently say that while I've been in love many times, each time was completely different from the others. They were perfect for me at the time I was with them.

If you’re a fan of podcasts, there are over a dozen of them dedicated to Jane Austen and the Brontës! If I’m missing any, let me know so I can update the list!

The native Reminders app on MacOS and iOS has lost my love. Does anyone have a recommendation for a simple reminder app similar to Reminders that WILL sync across macOS and iOS? (And not crazy expensive.) (I just need to add a reminder and check it off. I don't need anything fancy.)

Give a girl an education, and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without farther expense to anybody. #JaneAusten #MansfieldPark

Question! I’m compiling a list of favorite groups, pages, and hashtags you follow that pertain to writing. It can be a general writing group or page, something specific like a romance group or page, or hashtags. I’ll post the list in a few weeks! #WriterSky #BookSky #Romancelandia

I have "Obstinate Headstrong Girl" tattooed on my right wrist. I identify with Elizabeth most of the time, and the quote seems to be too much of a truism to ignore.

I assumed, probably because of this song by Danny and the Juniors, that the word “hop” meaning “a dance” was an American coinage from the fifties. But it’s used by Jane Austen in Sense & Sensibility and the dictionary says it’s even much older (pre 1600) youtu.be/U3KjDpvmtwU

I really enjoyed BBC drama Miss Austen (I haven't read the book on which it's based). It's slow in a way but in a Jane Austen kind of way! So refreshing to watch a drama with mostly female characters, makes one realise how most drama is very male dominated! An excellent cast. Recommended. 8/10.
