If you’re a big fan of Ms. Austen’s world please read: I don’t really know why, but I was never able to enjoy Jane Austen in my teens/early 20s. As one of my 2027 reading goals, I want to give her another honest go. So my question is: Which book should I read first? Second? Third? I know they are not a series, just wondering if there is a best place to begin. Thank you 😘
Update: Wow 🤩 thank you all for your help! I’m very much looking forward to reading! I’ll probably post again when I start in January to see if anyone would like to buddy read. 😊

“My contemporaries did not understand this. They were all enamoured with the idea of progress and believed that whatever was new must be superior to what was old. As if merit was a function of chronology!” 👏🏼 👏🏼 Say it louder for the people in the back. 👏🏼 👏🏼

If you're unfamiliar, I highly recommend the Willing & Fable podcast's exploration of the Bluebeard story. Part 1 is episode 5/25/2021 and Part 2 is episode 6/1/2021 Willing & Fable 🔗 I wish the girls who hosted this still made new episodes, but honestly it is a treasure trove of myths, legends, & folklore if you're into that!
