Teaser Tuesdays is an interesting and fun book-related meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Be prepared to add several new books to your TBR list! I do every week!My Teaser:
" There was one more thing about my life that had to change, now that I'd read Emma: my relationships with the people around me. Once I started to see myself for the first time, I started seeing them for the first time, too. I began to notice and care about what they might be experiencing, and they began to develop the depth and richness of literary characters. "
from A Jane Austen Education by William Deresiewicz (p.36-7)

ReplyDeleteSANDY: I'm not a big fan of spin-offs but since this isn't really a spin-off it intrigued me. I wanted to see the impact of Jane Austen's books on this author and I'm happy I'm reading this book. It's really interesting.

ReplyDeleteJULES: This book discusses Austen's books in-depth, some more than others. But as long as you've read them, you won't be surprised by the passages the author cites or his spoilers. It's interesting to read what he sees in Austen's work.
DIANE: In this book the author focuses on each of Austen's books in separate chapters. He does talk about each book very specifically abd reveals what he learned from Austen through each book. It's intriguing and fun!
ReplyDeleteDARLENE: Thank you! I'll be posting my review on Monday! Good to see you here!
