I’m excited for my first Jane Austen July as a creator. I read all of her books in my 30s but nothing recently.I got interested in Jane Austen because I had read a magazine article about depression and how Jane Austen would relieve it. It worked. I’m not depressed anymore but they are feel good books. Aloha

It would be so interesting to read Lover's Vows and see what all the drama and scandal was about in Mansfield Park! I'm going to be rereading Persuasion.

[sarahsperusals]

so excited for july!!! i'm finally getting around to northanger abbey!

[ludd]

it was Jane Austen June for me as I read Emma which i really enjoyed. Great characters, very entertaining reading :)

[booksoverbreakfast]

So excited for this year’s JAJ! Reading Lovers vow is brilliant!

[coloraturaElise]

The Paula Byrne book is EXCELLENT! I just bought it and read it this spring, and it was so enlightening!

[katehowereads]

I can't believe I'm actually reconsidering revisiting Mansfield Park! What are you doing to me???

I'm definitely rewatching Emma Approved too!

[revpower]

I love enjoying her novel Pride and Prejudice. Best story of all😊

[lizlittle]

I will be participating. I'm so excited about the readalong! I already joined on goodreads.

[rustiqjoy]

Wow, thanks for the recommendations namely The Woman of Colour and Pride. Sounds intriguing.

[thelibrarybat]

So excited for this! I've only got one more book to collect from the library and then I'm going to post my tbr on bookstagram! This is my first time taking part in Jane Austen July!

[GinaStanyerBooks]

Oh fun! Just bought a couple of ebook bind ups of her unfinished work and juvenilia so I’m excited to start thinking about my TBR!

[RaineyDayReads]

Oh I think I’m going to copy you and read Lover’s Vow as well! That sounds really interesting and great context for the book!

[jenniferbrooks]

I feel like I should pick up Lovers Vows to go alongside Mansfield Park! Such a great TBR and as always, I’m looking forward to your videos throughout the month!

[laurengarciabookworm]

I have been meaning to read Mansfield Park for a while. I will definitely be participating.

[takingteawithcatherine]

Just shows what a wealth of Jane Austen-related books we have! I've read Austen-Leigh's memoir and it's good - very Victorian, so even an option for October? So excited!

[tillysshelf]

The Woman of Colour sounds like a brilliant suggestion.

[naomisbookshelf]

I listened to The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things last and really enjoyed it! It was a great audiobook and different take on Jane Austen’s life. I have a growing stack of books I want to read so I might just name them all in my TBR video. There are so many choices!

[SpinstersLibrary]

The Rosamund Pike audiobooks are so good, though I also love the Juliet Stevenson ones. I'm probably going to listen to Stevenson's narration of Persuasion in July. Pride very nearly made it onto my TBR, so I'm curious to see what you make of it.

Just ordered "Lovers Vows". Luckily it was available in paperback from amazon in the U.S.
