turningpagebooks:September Just One Word Book Photo Challenge Day 12: ClassicsThese are a few of my favourite things (you totally sang that in your head). Yes, it’s Persuasion that is my absolute favourite Jane Austen novel, with Emma a close second. Of course Pride and Prejudice is amazing, but I liked these more in book format. It was the Keira Knightley film sitting on a shelf at Blockbuster that originally got me into Jane Austen. And I’m forever glad we rented it. Perhaps the reason why I adore Persuasion so much is because unlike most of her books or many romantic plots I’d read til that point, it was about lost love being found again and it was such a powerful thing to read.Jane Eyre is that one book I read multiple times myself before university, then read again for class. I was quite proud of myself for already being familiar with the story. I loved Jane’s independence and the way she refused to be what others wanted her to be, especially men. Of course I like other classics, but these are three of my favourites, and they’re some of the first I read. I love that my mom got me these editions years ago at Chapters. They’re well loved copies, so they aren’t in perfect condition. But that’s okay. I also have a thing for tea cups. I just adore them. I’ve collected a few all made from England. This was the first one I got.This book photo challenge is hosted by just0nemorepage. The photography is mine. -- source link
