(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.

December... To Be Read/Watched



It seems that whatever reading & watching material I want to achieve have been delayed these past 2 months. 


Indeed, as November & October have been busier than I'd anticipated, I had to postpone some of the books I intended, and didn't even watch some of the dvds from the library. 

I just finished reading to kill a mockingbird a couple days ago...



& shall watch today it's movie adaptation, that I borrowed from the library. The French title is ridiculous Silence and shadows... really, France ?? (review)


As we are re-watching Star Trek Deep Space 9 (my 28th time already!) we'll continue in season 2, episode 18 (Profit & Loss) onward throughout the month, during which we'll also have an exceptional session of 2001 a space Odyssey (7th), and the next Star Wars movie (on or around 17th) and our yearly It's a wonderful life on 24th or 25th, depending on meal plans with my family.

Also, we hope to invite a friend or two, and re-watch The dark crystal, but it has to be determined.

I'm very late for my goodreads challenge, as I finished 24 books (but since one book was 3 novels, I may count it as 26), and thus, this month my goal is to try reading shorter fictions, up to 4 or 6 as much as possible.

I borrowed 2 books which will help my task










 I shall update this entry once I have more details or books !
