My favourite copy of Jane Austen’s novels - so far

Leatherbound hardback, sewn binding, ribbon marker, gilded edges and beautiful end papers. It’s just so sexy 😭

leatherbound hardback, sewn binding πŸ₯΅πŸ˜©

Did I mention readable font and smooth pages 😭 I think I want to marry a book πŸ₯Ή

Which is your favorite novel? I have some Austin books & may be able to send you a gift one day 😘

Beautiful

πŸ₯ΉπŸ«‚πŸ’―

Ooooh my. I can appreciate a well bound book.

It smells incredible πŸ₯Ή

Yepp, I’m here smelling a book πŸ˜‚πŸ«‚

As a fellow book smell enjoyer you'll get no judgement for me. πŸ˜…

nostr:npub1l8zv3fhdntxq00u3nmrxvmrwpenpgway8y67z663t92x6hd98w3qkfkw83 we should consider some more classics like these after HHGTTG.

I’d love to join πŸ₯ΉπŸ™πŸ½ I dunno what it is but I’ll be there - if you’ll have me πŸ«‚

Companion has a Corny Chat room named Companion's Corner that meets on Tuesday nights 10 PM eastern. We take turns reading a portion of the selected book to the group. Recently wrapped up Alice Adventure's in Wonderland a few weeks ago and are currently about ΒΌ the way through Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

It may be more practical to setup an additional weekly event for book readings and review that is more accomodating to GMT. Let me know if youd be interested in this.

This is brilliant Vic πŸ˜πŸ’―πŸ”₯

I’m still a little shy about my voice and reading out loud πŸ₯Ή but I’m definitely interested πŸ”₯ I’d love to join the eastern one (possibly anon) while I get comfortable πŸ™πŸ½

feel free to join and listen! no need to read aloud or be identified

Sounds wonderful πŸ˜πŸ«‚

I’d be interested in this for sure πŸ‘πŸΌ

Keep me posted pls πŸ«‚

We could totally use the library room I set up for this.

shhhhh!

oooo great idea!! I read Frankenstein with a group and that is in depth!!

Uff god, such an aesthetic cover 🀀

A lot of #POW there

Debossing and foiling 😭 it’s everything a girl could want πŸ₯ΉπŸ˜­πŸ«‚πŸ«‚πŸ«‚πŸ’œ

What’s #POW? πŸ₯Ήsounds intriguing

Proof Of Work, someone really earned his/her paycheck doing that beautiful cover!

Jjja not only a girl! I love those neat hardcover editions. I usually first read everything on my e-reader first, and if I like it then I get a hardcover version.

Though maybe I should look for a nicer cover for my kidle πŸ€”, I stare at that thing for hours 😬😹

They really did πŸ’―πŸ₯ΉπŸ«‚

You’re right! My bad β˜ΊοΈπŸ™πŸ½

Oh that’s smart! I’ll do that with paperback ☺️ i don’t have a kindle but I’ve heard they are rather lovely - carrying hundreds of books around without breaking a sweat sounds rather good πŸ’―

πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ”₯πŸ’― noo it’s brilliant, got a daily reminder there to stay humble stack and zap sats πŸ«‚

I've learned to love it! I always carry it with me though

I wouldn'r recomend a Kindle if you are going to buy one, there are others with android that are more flexible woth formats and that, but kindles are ok

Intriguing, I thought kindle was the best one based on its popularity but I’ll definitely do research before hand β˜ΊοΈπŸ«‚ thank you!

It was almost the only one because it was the cheapest, but they show you ads and lock you inside they bookstore (though you can download books from your pc)

Yes. 100% yes. My home will be filled with books like this in the future.

πŸ˜πŸ«‚πŸ«‚ will look beautiful Beave πŸ«‚

I wish I could draw, because I've already designed my house in my head.

This is beautiful! I used to draw my dream house when I was little ☺️ lots of light. Love skylights.

You’re a writer though Beave, your paintbrush is your pen πŸ«‚πŸ’œ

That's... A warm and fuzzy thought. Thank you, yet again, Eshara. πŸ’šπŸ«‚πŸ’šπŸ«‚πŸ’šπŸ«‚

Anytime Beave β˜ΊοΈπŸ«‚πŸ«‚πŸ«‚πŸ«‚

It's a little too flowery for my bookshelf. This is all she gets.

Now that’s a manly copy of Austen’s P&P and I love it πŸ˜πŸ«‚πŸ”₯

Indeed. I'm still looking for a manly copy of Little Women. I won't buy that book until I find it (but I really want to read it).

I got my manly copy a year ago πŸ₯Ή was hard to find πŸ™πŸ½

😊 not quite. It should have no frills. The cover should be tan or grey. The title should be slightly worn

Darn it, so close πŸ”₯β˜ΊοΈπŸ«‚πŸ«‚ maybe β€˜Everymans Libeary’ have an edition πŸ€” they are quite manly but beautiful

I have a number of titles from them. I find they look the best given the way I want my library to work.

They are gorgeous πŸ”₯😍 very nice subtle colours πŸ’―

#bookshelfts (?)

And also, if I ever get my book published, I'll be sure to personally inscribe a copy just for you and your future children. ☺️

This is so kind Beave I would love this πŸ˜πŸ«‚πŸ™πŸ½ you definitely will get it published πŸ«‚

It's... Not exactly likely, though.

πŸ€”

Totally disagree, you got this πŸ«‚πŸ«‚

I definitely don't got this... LOL

I believe πŸ’ͺπŸ½β˜ΊοΈπŸ«‚

Thank you.

Apparently we have similar taste on books πŸ˜‰

Love it ! β˜ΊοΈπŸ’œπŸ«‚

πŸ«‚

That's such a pretty book. I don't even like Jane Austen but I would own this one if I had a giant library in my house. Lol.

πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ«‚πŸ’œπŸ’œ it’s definitely big library worthy πŸ’―πŸ˜

Wow 😍
