Ah! Always a common complaint that Austen wraps up her books quickly. Maybe she wants us to use our imagination to create what happens next. ❤️ Congratulations on getting in so much reading!
Thank you for your comment Melissa! 😊 I like how you said that Jane Austen maybe shortened her story endings so we could think about the characters and their lives more after finishing the book… I do always enjoy thinking up different endings for her characters! I have just finished reading Persuasion though and I so enjoyed it, I don’t know why it has taken me so long to read ♡
Hi Isabella Ann, well done on reading all of your 20 Books of Summer! I only managed to finish 5 of my 10 Books of Summer, but I did enjoy them all. I also found the ending of Mansfield Park a bit disappointing, however I adore Persuasion, it is possibly my favourite Austen novel. I hope you will enjoy Persuasion and Northanger Abbey more.
Hello Jessica, Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 😊
Well done for reading five books this Summer, it is nice to read peacefully sometimes and some months are like that. I seem to be on a roll at the moment as I have so many new books waiting to be read that I just can't stop myself! 😂
I did enjoy Mansfield Park, but like you, I was not quite satisfied with the ending. I am very much looking forward to reading both Persuasion and Northanger Abbey though (Persuasion is next on my list). ♡
Well done for reading so many books this summer! I really enjoyed The Enchanted April and loved the Italian setting. Journey to the River Sea sounds great - I've read other Eva Ibbotson books but not that one yet.
Thank you for your lovely comment Helen! 😊 I so enjoyed reading The Enchanted April and I would highly recommend Journey to the River Sea. It is such a great book and is always a joy to read! I would love to try more of Eva Ibbotson’s work, do you have any recommendations? ♡
Thank you for your lovely comment Pam! 😊 Me & my Ma actually just bought a copy of Elizabeth and Her German Garden a couple of weeks back in a bookshop in Norfolk! Ma is reading it first and then I will, I am very much looking forward to reading it. ♡
So many memories of the books we once read together, and now books we both read independently. I so enjoyed The Enchanted April.💕 As always, I'm inspired by your post!!
Thank you for your lovely comment! 🥰 I was so glad that you enjoyed reading The Enchanted April too, it would be so nice to go to that part of Italy to see where the story was inspired from. I hope Elizabeth and Her German Garden is a nice read for you too! ♡

I love Enchanted April. Elizabeth and her German Garden is also wonderful. 💜
I'm just a few pages in, Pam! Love it already.🙏🏻
