Review of “Stuck Up and Stupid” by Angourie Rice & Kate Rice | Rhapsody in Books Weblog
Jane Austen’s oeuvre is the gift that keeps on giving. It seems like there are endless variations of her Pride and Prejudice, all of which are perforce entertaining, because the original was so good, and so timeless. In this retelling, the heroine is 18-year-old Lily, an Australian who lives on Pippi Beach, “Sydney’s best-kept secret."…
BBC’s Big Read 10 Best Books Of All Time - Books of Brilliance
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) conducted a survey in 2003 to determine the most beloved novels in the United Kingdom. This led to the compilation of a list, with J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" securing the top spot. Other notable entries include works by Jane Austen and J.K. Rowling. The survey's results were influenced by the nationality of the authors, and some popular works were excluded due to one-book-per-author restriction.
First Line Friday 29th August 2025: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen | #FirstLineFriday #BookSky 💙📚 – Portobello Book Blog
It's a few weeks since I took part in First Line Friday for one reason and another but I couldn't resist joining in today. I'm re-reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice which surely begins with one of the most famous first lines in literature? It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in…
Notes on Fanny Burney’s “Cecilia”: The Power of the Name – Thornfield Hall
"Is Fanny Burney better than Jane Austen?" I asked as I tore through Burney's 941-page novel, Cecilia (1,004 pages with notes). I was spellbound by Burney's first novel, Evelina, and her second novel, Cecilia, is a masterpiece. The brilliant novelist Fanny Burney (1752-1840) also influenced Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and Dickens. I finally decided that Burney…

Jane Austen’s Fashion Bible by Ros Ballaster | Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
Jane Austen’s Fashion Bible is a great gift book for a very specific reader. They must be sufficiently interested in Jane Austen’s work to want a book which combines excerpts from Austen with Regency era fashion plates from La Belle Assemblee, a periodical that published its first issue in 1806. But they also have just…
Great Fall Reads: Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” & Robert Macfarlane’s “Is a River Alive?” – Thornfield Hall
On a recent vacation, I was fascinated by Fanny Burney's Cecilia, a smart 1,003- page novel about the perils of being rich and female in the 18th century. And then Burney pointed me in the direction of Jane Austen, when, on page 930, she repeated the phrase PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (all caps) three times. Yes,…
The Paperback Road Trip – Thornfield Hall
Road trip reading is not restricted to Jack Kerouac's On the Road or Fanny Trollope's Domestic Habits of Americans. I prefer Jane Austen. And I always take a rather scruffy paperback. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman on a road trip needs an inexpensive, even disposable, paperback that will fit in a…
