(e)Book – Love and friendship

  (e) Book –  Love and friendship Full title :  Love and friendship and other early works Author : Jane Austen Score : /10 Year : 1790 (original) ; 2012 (this edition) Publisher : Duke Classics   ISBN  978-1-62012-155-9  // 9781620121559  (ebook)  Pages :  Language: English Jane Austen is best known for her 6 novels, which all have been adapted into tv movies - but after having read Virginia Woolf's short fiction in chronological order, I decided to apply the same for Austen's publications, to better appreciate her growth and evolution in narrative style. So, before reading her novels which were released from 1811 to 1817, in the following order :  Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, I decided to go back to her teenage years, reading Love and Friendships, and other early works.

Updates

This blog has been updated by changing all the labels including the number of stars each book, movie & show received, into an X*, and not distinguishing the categories anymore. Thus, instead of looking for 10 stars book, or 10 stars movie, or show, they are all now under 10*
This saves then numbers of labels, and space in each blog entry and labels-space too, because I'm limited to 200 characters total - which I often surpassed and had to sacrifice a key word. Changing from a long 10 stars book to 10* will allow me add a word or two to my labels.

Another change is that now the blog is devoted to books, tv shows, and movies. Most often, novels, and essays are adapted to either a show, or movie, and sometimes movies can be adapted to novels or have documentary books to explain their making-off. In this way, the blog has a certain logic, interweaving these 3 artforms together.

I still specify one or several dvd or bluray editions for movies and shows, and I off course cannot keep up listing the dozens or hundreds of book editions so I just give details about the ones that I read.

I just created a new blog dedicated to music. There, I detail my experiences and experiments listening to various bands, singers, composers and so on.
Each band or artist gets an entry I call ''part 0'' in which I introduce and tell a few biographical details, send to fuller articles on wiki or official websites, and a chronological discography.
I then post a new entry per album, to tell you what I think and at some point, detail differences in editions (collector, or different Country).

I'll also have posts for movie and shows soundtracks, and add direct links between both blogs for a complete interactivity.

It's called... Lulu's music garden which for the moment has only 14 posts, which shall increase in time.
