#JaneAusten#Books#Giveaway
Happy #NationalReadABookDay!! Obviously we are big fans of reading a book *every day,* but since it's the *formal* celebration of such a lovely habit, we thought we would do a #GIVEAWAY! Our region secretary, Debra, has offered up a lovely copy of "Miss Austen" by @GillHornby!
#FlatJaneAusten joined us on a nature walk. She has much to recommend her beyond being an excellent walker. We could hardly keep up with her.
We ended with a visit to the library, since #FlatJane is a great novel reader, and not ashamed of being so.
"You know how interesting the purchase of a sponge-cake is to me." ~Jane Austen, letter to her sister Cassandra, 1808
According to @OED, this is the first recorded use of "sponge-cake," #NationalSpongeCakeDay#JaneAusten#Cake
"Jane had a lovely couple of days with us in NH! She's on her way to her next host now!!" (Not to worry! Tina have permission to share the photo of her daughter!)
A splendid visit to New Hampshire! My new friend Tina wrote, "Jane enjoyed her tea party with my nine year old daughter today! She will be accompanying us on a nature walk tomorrow morning. What fun!"

Over on our website, our Region Secretary Debra Peck has shared a beautiful post she wrote titled "Jane Austen's Poetic Life." We invite you to procure a refreshing cup of iced tea, find a cool place to relax, & enjoy!

Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. And then the murders began.

Due to the great response, we are sending out another @FlatJaneAusten! Before she went to the @uidaho Arboretum in Moscow, ID. She enjoyed sitting in the shade of a weeping elm. #JaneAusten#PNW
In 1810, Great White Sharks were known scientifically as "Carcharias lamnia Rafinesque." Do you think Captain Wentworth or Anne Elliot Wentworth ever saw any while aboard his ships? Happy Shark Week! https://t.co/vY1BPYMhMY

"#FlatJaneAusten and I had a lovely tea. Jane was surprised to learn that I have attended only one ball and perplexed to hear that no white soup was served there. But it was all forgotten when petit fours were served. : )" ~@SavvyCindyB
I'm visiting Cindy! Here are her notes on my visit so far: "Flat Jane Austen arrived for a visit this afternoon. After refreshments, we perused my collection of Austen fan fiction. She was duly amused at the many attempts to respin her stories."

"My guest Flat Jane Austen enjoying my mid-summer garden. She said her family had Alliums like these in their garden at Steventon."
