...the first glance to see how many pages there are, the second to see how it ends, the breathless first reading, the slow lingering over each phrase and each word, the taking possession, the absorbing of them one by one, and finally the choosing of the one that will be carried in one's thoughts all day... -- Edith Wharton

Another celebration in 2013



Thanks to Austenonly {and Twitter}, I've just learned that the first edition of Pride and Prejudice was published in January 1813, and there's going to be a party.   I did say I was longing to read all of the novels again ...

Reading Persuasion again definitely left me in an Austen mood!

I am so tempted, and aren;t events like this a lovely reminder that the world is full of bibliophiles?!

It's high time for me to read Pride and Prejudice again, too!
