No Mistaking It

Posted in: 2021 posts | blog images | Books | Jane Austen | Online Shopping Bag

NinjaVan parcel arrived today. It contained mostly of my sister's books (who recently just realised how inexpensive BBW books are). Of course, three of them are mine muahaha...  


"Silence" - I have a soft spot for Japanese books that are translated into English. This book had been in my cart/wishlist for almost two years and this year I finally got it. This cover looks like the movie cover version (which I don't really mind).

"The Austen Escape" - Another Jane Austen-ish book. They had one copy left so that kind of motivated me to get this one.

"Take Courage: Anne Brontë and the Art of Life" - A biography (I think) of one of Charlotte Brontë's sisters written by Samantha Ellis. Haven't read Anne Brontë's books but I'm kind of curious about this one.

Rewatched "Bridget Jones's Diary" movie. I enjoyed it more after reading the book. I didn't realised how much Mark Darcy was looking at Bridget whenever they are in the same room/place. He's so smitten by her!

Finally caught up with the readalong schedule of "Mansfield Park". I took a bit over 4 hours just to read 100 pages of it. Well, I don't really care about the amount of time but that just shows I take more time when I'm reading a classic novel. Interesting. I might have been distracted at times so maybe it should've been 3.5-4 hours..? But that's still a large number of hours for 100 pages.
