I write traditional #Regency romances, where the heroes are gentlemen, the heroines are ladies, and there's always a fancy ball to attend. #JAFF #JaneAusten

1. Buy notebooks
2. Guard them with your life
3. Never actually use them

Was Mary Bennet out of step with the times when she read Fordyce's "sermons"?

“When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library” ~ Jane Austen

[the moon’s wife @bookishseawitch]

what would classic literature do without the attic? where else can you store a secret first wife, a cursèd portrait, and a woman having a hallucination about yellow wallpaper

House decorated, gifts purchased, baking finished. And now, a little something for me. #Books #bookgifts

Ways Brits finish a tea break:

1. “Anyway, better get back to it”
2. “No rest for the wicked”
3. “Right, I shall crack on”
4. “Back to the grind”
5. “Suppose I better do some work”
6. “Here we go again”
7. “This work won’t do itself”
8. “Onwards and upwards”

This piece has such wonderful detail! My favorite: the trail of roses painted on the mirror over the mantel. What's yours? ("A Letter of Importance by Carl Heinrich Hoff). #Regency #RegencyRomance #JaneAusten #PrideandPrejudice

What does this 1927 magazine cover make you think of? For me it's Captain #Wentworth and his new bride Anne (nee Elliot) planning their next adventure at sea. #JaneAusten #Persuasion

The Crowhurst Yew, St Georges churchyard, Surrey 🌲

Not only witnessed every King & Queen of England, but was already 2,000 years old when the Romans arrived in Britain.

Astonishing to comprehend that this tree was even alive when the Egyptian Pyramids were built.

"Young Love" by Wilhelm Menzler Casel. I think the artist portrayed his theme beautifully. What do you think?

[British Library @britishlibrary]

The library is dangerous –
Don’t go in. If you do

You know what will happen.
It’s like a pet store or a bakery –

Every single time you’ll come out of there
Holding something in your arms.

— Don't Go into the Library, Alberto Ríos 📚

@Robinov14 My mother loved to sing nonsense-lyrics like this one around the house. Another favorite of hers:
Boop-boop-didum-dadum-wadum-chew,
And they swam and they swam all over the dam.

[Nancy Lawrence @NLawrenceAuthor]

Agree with a couple. Not so much on others. What do you think? #JaneAusten #JaneAustenMovies #JaneAustenAdaptations #PrideandPrejudice

I am in love with the details of her gown, and those coral accents are perfection! (Portrait of Alida Gerrbade by Charles Howard Hodges, 1821)

Happy Monday! It's a new year, a new month, a new week and a new day. May we all enjoy a fresh one of these:
