I’m currently reading The Sherwood Ring and am enchanted so far! For Jane Austin July I tend to read books about Jane Austin or about the Regency Era and then I save a novel for Febregency. Thank you for sharing your reads with us!
Good day 😊 Enjoyed your blog as usual....as well as seeing Cymbeline 😺 as a cooperative kitty 💤... Looking forward to the NY library videos especially after having read The Personal Librarian. Historical fiction about Belle da Costa Greene. I had never heard of her and her contribution to the JP Morgan Library in NY. She was an incredible woman 👠. Emma, have you been to that particular library/museum?? I can't wait 🤩 to go and feel Belle's presence there from her contributions. Love your breezy sailor ⚓ dress 👗. Happy July reading 📖 ☕. Speaking of 🍷, Proverbs 20 : 1 😇 you may enjoy.
Willa Cather wasn't Catholic but she was clearly familiar with and sympathetic toward the Faith. Her Shadows on the Rock includes a character in early Quebec who was also a real life Bishop (Laval) and Saint. I have loved her writings since my teens and have read all but two of her novels.
Anna Karenina is such a wonderful book, loved the quote about that character! I've read two by Edgeworth but hadn't heard of The Absentee. Hope you enjoy the next part of the book!
The miniseries of Bridehead was with Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews. Where did you find the audiobook? Read Evelyn Waugh (pronouned Waaaah)'s EDMOND CAMPION. It will bring you to tears!! In a good way...
If I’m remembering correctly, I believe Jeremy Irons was the narrator for Spaceship Earth before Judi Densch. And wasn’t he the voice of Scar in The Lion King too? He must be great reading an audiobook. He has such a dramatic voice. I’m going to have to find that version now. I like to listen to an audiobook while I cross stitch to unwind.
The masterpiece theatre version is done played by Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews. Authors name pronounced WAH. His biography of Edmond Campion is my favorite!!
Thank you Emma! I so enjoyed your thoughts on what you've been reading. I love both Death Comes for the Archbishop and Brideshead Revisited. I'm due for a re-read of both! I just finished reading Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray for the first time, and I surprisingly loved it! I'm also in the middle of a 19th century Italian novel called The Betrothed by Alessandro Manzoni. It has some amazing Catholic characters and imagery; I'm loving it too!
They're both such good books! 😍 It's been years since I read Vanity Fair, but I remember enjoying it too - I need to make more progress in the Thackeray novel (The Newcomes) on my summer TBR. 🙈 The Betrothed sounds so interesting!
I really enjoy your channel! I am gonna read SANDITION since its short. I am reading several biographies of writers at the moment: Margaret Mitchell and Sylvia Plath.
Aw cute kitty 🐈⬛

Awwww . . . sweet kitty! I'm reading Northanger Abbey for the first time and LOVING it! The Jane Austin snark is HILARIOUS! 🙂
Northanger Abbey is so good, and it's hard to beat Jane's snark. 😹
I’m reading Sense and Sensibility for JA July. Happy Reading!
I am so happy to see your update 😊
Thanks Kami! 😊
I loved this book so much - especially the relationship/ friendship between the 2 priests. So lovely.
I love seeing Cymbeline in the background, she's so cute. Now, I want to check out Brideshead revisited.
