JANE AUSTEN JULY Vlog #1 🌹 Lots of reading, surprise book mail, and a Georgian era apple tart! 🥧📚

Welcome to my first Jane Austen July vlog! I ended up reading some great books this week and wanted to share my reading experiences with you. I also got some more surprise book mail (I still can’t believe it) AND made an apple tart inspired by a recipe from the mid-1700s! Are you reading anything for Jane Austen July?

Thank you @ChrissiesPurpleLibrary for the two books!!
