Emma Acquired!

 I promised myself I would wait longer between Austen novels, but I couldn't resist when I saw Emma on the shelf at the library. After Persuasion, it's been the most recommended to me of her books. I've never seen Clueless or this year's adaptation of the original (though it does look tempting) so I'll be going into it fresh once I finish up with Dracula.

"Emma" has always been my favorite of Jane Austen's books.

I just thought of another Victorian woman writer - Vernon Lee. She's most famous for her supernatural tales. Her work is available on Kindle and in paperback.

Oh, tell me when you start Emma! I'm thinking of reading Sense and Sensibility sometime soon.

I'm one of those people who wants to be a Jane Austen fan, but has not read much of her writing. I've mainly read Lady Susan and to chapter seven in Emma. Pathetic isn't it? LOL
