(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.

November to be read & watched


It's November, already! 

Guess what ? October was so busy, between social events, birthday parties and following #blogtober challenge, that I didn't manage reading everything I'd planned.



My wife had lent one of the small books I wanted to read, Charlotte's web, to a friend ; whom we didn't get to see, so the book's not back.

But, out of lack of time and having to set for this month's reading to these 2 books, 

Lee's To kill a mockingbird, borrowed from the library, with 309 pages



& this Carrière's novel in French, which a friend lent me, with 443.

After which, I still want to pass to History of Middle-Earth, with this Lost takes 2. 



And anything else that I can find, short, at home or elsewhere. I'll update this entry if I do, as I'm 2 books behind on my goodreads challenge, and those 3 above books would take a while, especially Tolkien with its late 1910's quaint English. 



But, before all that happens, I decided to check some of our art books 






To be watched ... finishing up with TNG (it's my 22nd time I believe, and 2nd time in HD with these gorgeous blurays)




After which, we'll re-start Star Trek Deep Space 9 (my 28th time already!)

Movies from the media library 




I may also decide to follow on TCM's Star of the month, Jimmy Stewart, with a selection of our own preferred movies, and prolong to December as we watch It's a wonderful life every year. 

Final update for October : 
From the library, we didn't manage to watch anything this around.
