Katie, just wanted to let you know…I had Jane Austen on my shelves but had never read any of them until I came across Jane Austen July, and over time, I have read them all, thanks to you! I’d only ever seen the adaptations, and loved them but now I’ve read them all and I’m now getting onto the adaptations which have been piling up on my shelves! This is all down to getting the push I needed from your channel! Thankyou so much!
So glad to hear you've been enjoying Jane Austen. I hope you like the adaptations too :)
I just discovered you and want to participate in Jane Austen July. So excited!!
Thanks, hello and enjoy :)
Yay!! Such wonderful options! I had trouble narrowing down my TBR as well this year. I left you a voxer message chatting more about our TBRs 🥰
Off to see your video later!
I am participating for the first time this year. I have always wanted to but felt like I didn't have enough reading material, but now I do. So excited!
The Jane Austen Project sounds fun. I'm interested to hear how you find it. Remarkable Creatures is a fictional account of Mary Anning and Elizabeth Philpot. I really enjoyed reading it. Two interesting women who should have been more recognised for their work and their finds. I hope you have a wonderful Jane Austen July.
I've been meaning to read The Genius of Jane Austen and Reputation. They both sound so good!
I'll be reading Waverly as well, so I'll be looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Can't wait for July to start. I am planning to read Sense and Sensibility and a modern retelling or two probably of P&P. I also plan to read The Real Jane Austen as my nonfiction book. I will also watch the new Persuasion movie on Netflix but I am very skeptical too. We'll see how it goes.
Hope you enjoy all your books for this reading challenge! ☺
I can't wait to hear what you think of these books! I'm so excited for all the Jane Austen July reading!
Hi Katie. I just ordered Miss Austen from my library so thank you. Aloha
I’m so excited for Jane Austen July. I’m still putting together my tbr. I’ve added A Truth Universally Acknowledged to it. I love books about books and a Jane Austen related one sounds perfect.
Thanks so much for hosting Jane Austen July! I'm super excited and after watching your Jane Austen videos, I want to just have a Jane Austen year!! 😂 So many great books and I can't wait.
I’m interested to hear what you and Marissa think of the Jane Austen Project. Krista and I read it together a few years ago and we weren’t really fans, but I’ve never heard anyone else talk about it!
Jane Austen July sounds really fun and I will be joining in. Currently reading Cecelia by Frances Burney and Jane Austen at Home by Lucy Worsley. love all your possible reads and will add some to my TBR pile, but won’t get to them all in July!! Have joined the Goodreads group and subscribed to your channel. 😎
Thanks for the video. I’ve never hear of this readathon! I’m going to try to get to Lady Susan. Real life is getting in the way of reading right now, so that’s all I’ll go with for the moment.
Fun ideas! I read The Real Jane Austen earlier this year and really enjoyed it. 😁♥️
Ready for Jane Austen July 👍
Totally agree! What HAVE they done to Ann Eliot!? Would love a video all about the adaptation :) thanks Katie!
Right?!
I have to admit I have never read any Jane Austen but I have always wanted to read one of her books for no other reason than to check out what all the fuss is about. However, I have been putting off reading any of her books and that is why I'm so excited for Jane Austen July which I have just found out about.
Enjoy your first Jane Austen :)
I ordered Godmersham Park a few days ago, so hopefully it will arrive in time for me to read for JAJ! Reputation has been on my wishlist for a while, but I was hesitant bc I hadn't heard much about it. Now that it's been given your stamp of approval I will go ahead and purchase!
I've just started Godmersham Park and it is AMAZING. I adore Reputation; maybe I should add that I did work at the publisher when it was in development and did some editorial work on it, so maybe I'm biased, but it's a fantastic book and was an utter joy to work on.
I'm definitely joining in for the P&P readalong! I was also thinking about picking up Mansfield Park. Time to see what the Crawfords are up to!🤣😎📚
I am joining in but haven't decided what all I am reading.
I can't wait for July! I'm planning on reading A Vindication on the Rights of Woman by Wollestencraft for my contemporary of Austen and I can't wait to finally get to it. I read Jane Austen Book Club years ago and it was alright, the movie is way better and would recommend that.
I'm not excited for this new Persuasion movie after the trailer, and I laughed when you said that Anne would never have her face dirty because it's true xD I'll wait for your review, Katie. I'm gonna read Emma again and the unfinished novels (The Watsons and Sanditon) and hopefully listen to the audiobook of Northanger Abbey. Great TBR! :)
I'm late watching your video, but I'm a massive fan of Jane Austen July and enjoyed seeing your selections. I am currently reading The Genius of Jane Austen by Paula Byrne and really enjoying it. I have a Pile of Possibilities video on my channel with way too many books!
I'm also reading The Genius of Jane Austen by Paula Byrne at the moment and am finding it really interesting.
I read "The Jane Austen Project," last year for my very first Jane-Austen-July; I enjoyed it, although there were some topics I wished the author would have touched more on.
Great prompts! Looking forward to Jane Austen July! I am reading Mansfield park!
My Jane Austen July Tbr went up yesterday and I’m sooo excited. I’m aiming to get gomersham park for next year as it sounds soo good 😊
I'm a quarter of the way through Godmersham Park and it is wonderful so far.
A Secret Sisterhood sounds interesting and I'll be definitely picking it up in the future. I'm very excited about Infamous as well as I really enjoyed Reputation! I'm also very curious about the new Hornby book so I'll be eagerly waiting for your opinion.
So it turns out the Secret Sisterhood is about Jane's friendship with Anne Sharp who is the main character in the new Gill Hornby book, so I'm quite excited to try the Secret Sisterhood too.
Remarkable Creatures is one the I was considering as well. I love the historical fiction edition to that prompt. I too am not sure if I will get to it in July but I’ve had it on my shelves and have been meaning to get to it.
So excited for this! I haven’t made a TBR yet, but went straight to Netgalley and discovered both Godmersham Park and Infamous are currently available to request. Fingers crossed on those! I’m going to check our my library for a few of your other suggestions but sadly, mine is nowhere near as good as yours. I’ve read The Jane Austen Book Club and really enjoyed it and I’m going freestyle by adding a jigsaw this year. Happy reading 💖💖💖
Jane Austen Project sounds good. I love time travel stories! I'm going to read Emma and Pride and Prejudice. I am going to read Pride. That's all I have figured out so far.
I have a crazy project for this month to try and read through all of Jane Austen's main novels. I'm not going to force it if I get burnt out, but, I have a feeling that I will not get tired of JA's writing and will be able to enjoy her books almost back to back. That's still a lot of books though, so I'm trying to keep my picks for the Jane Austen July prompts nice and light. I will be joining along with the Lady Susan readalong, and for non-fiction I took you recommendation for What Matters in Jane Austen? It sounds really interesting. For the historical fiction, I'm going with Reputation. I'd heard of it before and thought it sounded great, but your recommendation cinched it. For the contemporary read I'll be doing another rec from you, the play Lover's Vows. I guess as a sort of bonus book, earlier this year I came across this silly but fun book of cocktail recipes inspired by the the novels as well as drinks popular in JA's time. There are recipes for every one of her books, so I'll be picking one to pair with each book. It's gonna be a really fun month, lol.
I think there are a couple of Booktubers trying to read all of Jane's main novels this month too. Hope you love What Matters in Jane Austen too.
@@katiejlumsden thanks for the tip! I'll have to look into it, it'd be cool to see other people's thoughts on reading her novels back to back.
I'm so sceptical about the new Persuasion trailer!!! I just made a video about it, and share some of your concerns! Hopefully it's better than the trailer makes it seem!
I'm really hoping to read Paula Byrne's biography of Austen, as well as reading Irene Collins's book Jane Austen and the Clergy. Those are at the top of the list!
Sounds like a fantastic pile of possibilities and thanks for alerting me to the new Gill Hornby- loved Miss Austen when I read it last July.
Here are my plans:
Emma - this will be my 4th Austen novel and my third Jane Austen July
Lady Susan and The Watsons
Also the biography by Carol Shields
Now We Shall Be Entirely Free by Andrew Miller
Walter Scott’s Poetical Works
Emma with Kate Beckinsale
Rewatch of Clueless
Thanks as always for cohosting this fantastic event!
I really enjoyed Now We Shall Be Entirely Free, so hope you like that!
😊👍📚!Thanks Katie🌹
Is it even Summer if we aren’t reading any Austen?!! You have trained us all 😝📚❤️ I have The Jane Austen Collection on audible so will see which one I fancy (currently listening to Persuasion) 📚❤️ Great to see your TBR ☺️
Right?! July always makes me feel in an Austen mood now.
I watched Fire Island and it was a lot of fun.
I just watched it today and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I'll participate. This will be my first time reading Jane Austen--although I do own a complete set of her fiction.
I'm cheating, though: I began Pride and Prejudice the other day (on your suggestion); and will read Longbourn afterwards; and expect I will watch the 2005 film (again) afterwards to compare that screen adaptation to the book once familiar with the book.
I'd have like to watch the 1995 tv series, but that's unavailable on my streaming services...so, I'll watch what I can.
Other possibilities include: Death Comes to Pemberley, and Bridget Jones for a modern adaptation.
I may read Wuthering Heights, too. Depends on whether the mood hits me...
Hope you enjoy your introduction to Jane Austen :)
I'd love to read the non-fiction book by Byrne, as I love movie adaptations from classics!
This will be my third year participating of Jane Austen July. This year I hope to read Mansfield Park, The Beautiful Cassandra, Frankenstein, The Jane Austen Society, What matters in Jane Austen and some of Eavesdropping on Jane Austen's England (these last two are coming on the mail, they'll be here in a couple of weeks). And I'll be watching Clueless, Sense and Sensibility (1995), Pride and Prejudice (1995) and The Jane Austen Book Club as I do every year. Speaking of that... I didn't like the book at all but I love the movie adaptation. I'd love to hear your review, perhaps I missed something there.
Have a great Jane Austen July!
I've never seen the film of The Jane Austen Book Club, but I do want to both read and see it.
I am in for the challenge
Please could you do another video with Nick this Jane Austen July? Loved the Mansfield Park one.
Well, he is currently reading Northanger Abbey, so we shall see.
@@katiejlumsden ooh, yay - that's promising! :-)
@@katiejlumsden In the Mansfield Park video, I think you refer to a video you did also with Nick about P&P - but I've not been able to find it. Please could you link to it if it's still up?
Oh I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of Waverley! I’ve read a little Walter Scott but only his long poetry stuff. So many interesting books here. Remarkable Creatures is really great. I preferred The Absentee to Castle Rackrent but maybe I was just more familiar with her writing style when I read it. Gah I know it looks like they’ve completely wrecked Anne’s character which is so disappointing - I don’t mind accuracy with a lot of things but changing characters is a no!
It sounds like we can all make a video complaining about the new Persuasion adaptation 😂
Haha I think there are going to be a lot of videos about the new Persuasion when it's out . . .
I am doing the #1962project
to celebrate my sixtieth birthday this year.
To try to do some #JaneAustenJuly
I have taken something from 1962
which is the Shaw Alphabet
(George Bernard Shaw was interested in spelling reform
and in his will left money for a Shaw Alphabet
to be used to publish "Androcles and the Lion".
The publication took place in 1962.
So I have ordered P&P in Shaw Alphabet -
it is in English but the script used is a novel one.
It will be interesting to improve my reading of the Shaw Alphabet
by reading a full novel with no Roman script in it. LOL
My tentative reading list. 1. Persuasion 2. Mary Wollstonecraft's Maria, The Wrongs of Woman (Mary Shelley's mother and the author of the Vindication of The Rights of Woman. 3. Letters of Jane Austen 4. Unmarriagable by Soniah Kamal (a Pakistani retelling of P&P) 5. Jane Austen: A Life in Pieces by Paula Byrne 6. Movie: New Persuasion 7. Clueless the film. Sound good?
Great choices!
@@katiejlumsden I also read a book by Goethe "The Sorrows of Young Werther." and plan to read The Beautiful Cassandra
Of your possibilities, I enjoyed Truth Universally Acknowledged and Jane Austen Book Club, altho I agree the movie worked better. Shields' biography was good, with a somewhat sad look at Austen's illness--I think Shields was ill herself at the time of writing. I'd recommend Castle Rackrent--short with some humor. I enjoyed her Belinda and hope to read The Absentee for JA July. I did not get on with Ladies of the House--a DNF for me. One of these months I'll get to Sir Walter--kudos to you for carrying on.
I really must read The Genius of Jane Austen by Paula Byrne!
I'm about half way through and it is very great!
@@katiejlumsden that's great to hear - I just bought a copy!
To quote partially C.S.Lewis, I read Jane Austen to know we are not alone. 😉
Where have you been all of my life ☹️
