With the Jean jacket you look so much like Rory 😅 also absolutely love your reading vlogs. They always make me excited to read☺️
the biggest compliment!!
this video is so cozy so sweet 🥺i watch your vlogs regularly and i absolutely adore you! i’m currently reading sense and sensibility and i’m going to read all the next classics with you this year! keep posting, love you
Sense and Sensibility is my favourite Austen, and it’s in my top 5 books ever!
I can see why - it's such a great book!
I loved this so much! ☺️ Currently buddy reading Mansfield Park and we’re both really struggling with it. It’s good to know this is a bit more lighthearted and fun. Though I did really live Persuasion!
Mansfield Park is my October read - it's the only one I haven't read before so I'm definitely nervous!
@@ciarascorner I’d be very interested to hear your thoughts. The further you get into it the better it gets, it seems!
*Austentatious* fun 😆
hahah love it!
I loved this video so much and it's totally made me want to read this Austen novel! Haven't really been interested in it but you've definitely changed my mind!
Aww I’m so glad! I hope you enjoy reading it!
Elinor is romantic I think, but she puts others first and so she doesn’t make it as obvious to others. She doesn’t want to distress her family, and she also keeps her promises. She has to be practical out of necessity, her mother would not always take care of what is needed. The novel says at the beginning of chapter 3, “Mrs. Dashwood remained at Norland several months; not from any disinclination to move when the sight of every well known spot ceased to raise the violent emotion which it produced for a while; for when her spirits began to revive, and her mind became capable of some other exertion than that of heightening its affliction by melancholy remembrances, she was impatient to be gone, and indefatigable in her inquiries for a suitable dwelling in the neighbourhood of Norland; for to remove far from that beloved spot was impossible. But she could hear of no situation that at once answered her notions of comfort and ease, and suited the prudence of her eldest daughter, whose steadier judgment rejected several houses as too large for their income, which her mother would have approved.” The family has minimal finances they are not able to afford a large house, Mrs. Dashwood should know that.
Marianne is emotional, but she can be thoughtless of others. She doesn’t think of how her actions will affect her family. One example from the beginning of chapter 12 illustrates this, “Marianne told her, with the greatest delight, that Willoughby had given her a horse, one that he had bred himself on his estate in Somersetshire, and which was exactly calculated to carry a woman. Without considering that it was not in her mother’s plan to keep any horse, that if she were to alter her resolution in favour of this gift, she must buy another for the servant, and keep a servant to ride it, and after all, build a stable to receive them, she had accepted the present without hesitation, and told her sister of it in raptures.” Marianne knows they have limited finances and what is required to for her to have a horse. I like Marianne, she does care for her family, but she doesn’t always think of how things affect other people.
So eloquently put - definitely agree!
I would agree with you on your rating and even if it lost its way I think Elinor was such a giant of a character that for her alone it's worth reading.And there were brilliant moments of wit like the time the little brats were tearing the hair of the Steeles😂
hahah agreed on the Steele's they're definitely the worst part of the novel!
I watched the Sense & Sensibility movie about a month ago and read the graphic novel last year but it’s been several years since I read the actual novel. I’m definitely due for a re-read.
Ooh that sounds fun, I didn't realise there was a graphic novel version!
I loved this video so much! I’m currently sitting down to read Pride and Prejudice and watched this to get in the mood 😄
Thank you! I am back in "Sense and Sensibility" after "Mansfield Park" . My absolute Austen - favourite is "Persuasion" but "Sense and Sensibility" ,as Austen's first, is wonderful. I just found your channel and I'm pleased. I shall now read through in publication order. You have lovely editions Ciara! Greetings from Sydney!
I think sense and sensibility is one of my favourites and a few weeks ago went to the Jane Austen museum in bath
I absolutely want to visit the museum at some point!
I’m subscribing to your channel bc of the Jane Austen vlogs =D I’ve bought the Word Cloud Classic box with the complete novels and read three so far, I’m loving it so much, and I’m so happy I found out you’re doing this video series. Thank you, can’t wait for the other ones!
I am definitely more like Marianne, super sensitive, hopelessly romantic, but I am trying to be more like Eleanor sometimes ☺️
I feel the same - though it could be more practical to have some of Eleanor's sense!
You should keep the new intro music as your permanent intro music.
I’m more of an Eleanor fan for sure.
BTW, thanks to your vlogs my daughters are ‘forcing’ me to rewatch Friends and Gilmore Girls. 😋 meanwhile, I want to finish Golden Girls.
New to reading vlogs. Loved this vlog! Your energy and personality is great. The place looks fun, keep up the great work. I just uploaded a vlog on my channel too!
Thanks so much!
I was in the bookshop last week and they had a huge display of beautiful Austen editions. Felt very fitting for your readalong. Sense and Sensibility is one of my least favorite Austen books, but I also haven't reread it in a long time. In the movie I always liked Eleanor better, but I don't know how much of that is because of my love for Emma Thompson. 😆
I just love how your ☕️ goes with your 📕! My personality tends to wavier between Elinor and Marianne; I’m still a romantic but I'm also a realist. 😲 snacks‼️ Yay Downtown Abbey‼️ All aboard the Jane Austen 🚊 again‼️ As always I just love your outfits‼️ Yay ☕️ & snacks‼️
Ps: I just finished Suns Will Rise, it was so good! Then I finished Sing Me Forgotten, and it was amazing‼️ Last but not least I got 18 chapters and 58 pages to go‼️
I'm also a big fan of the pink teacup matching the book! I know what you mean, I think we're all a bit of both Elinor and Marianne in varying quantities!
This is my third favourite of her books 📚 love your book cover please stay safe and enjoy your reading love your channel love your Australia fan John 💙💚💙💚
Thanks John - I love the book cover too!
@@ciarascorner no worries 😉
Maybe you should get the graphic novel next for your collection.
thanks for this Vlog! I need it after a looong week at work... it was so pretty all about S&S and J.A. :) you should do a colab with Ruby Granger!!!
Thanks so much for watching! And aw, that's so kind of you to say, I love Ruby's videos!
I would say I'm more of an Elinor. I relate to her a lot, which is why she is my favourite Austen character :) (at least from the novels I have read!)
I'm more like Elinor but I think Margaret is my favorite because she's just so funny
Ciara on this video cover is absolutely stunning!
Agreed - such a beautiful book cover!
@@ciarascorner I mean, on the video cover, you look gorgeous with the braid, in the pink cardigan, not the book cover😄
Omg hahaha I just assumed you meant the book! I’m blushing, thank you so much!!
Ellen or, I am Elloner and she is my favourite of the two
Why she talks way more about her circumstances than the book?
Too much talking , too less reading 😶
I have a great idea… you can film a video that has “enough” reading and I’ll continue filming the videos I want to🤷🏻♀️ PS - I think you mean “too little”
