It’s Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary. I suggest you read Persuasion. It’s beautifully written.

Yes but rereading a very good book illuminates things missed on the 1dt reading:)

You make me want to read fanfic so much! I'm going to have to work through some on summer break.

For book recs, I finally finished The Beartown series. It was great but an emotional investment.

Whenever you have the time, I’ll have plenty of fanfic recs for you :) You make Beartown sound sooo sad! I’m not ready.

Whenever I'm in a reading rut I find a lot of motivation in reading one shots (manga with only one chapter of varying lengths) and similar. Maybe some SHORT STORIES or reinterpretations in the form of fanfic are on the menu?

Oooh a friend just recommended a short fanfic, so maybe I’ll pick that up next. Good idea !

Love hearing your thoughts on these two Fanfics! I'm trying to read them before I read the traditionally published books. I finally read Manacled earlier in the year!

Omg you’ll love these!! Draco Malfoy and the mortifying ordeal is slightly shorter if you wanted to start with that one. I *cannot* wait for the trad published novels this year
