Paperback Back Cover Description
BATH, ENGLAND, 1803. At twenty-eight, Jane Austen prefers walking and reading to balls; she also dreams of someday publishing her carefully crafted stories. Above all, she wants love. In grave danger of becoming a spinster, Jane goes searching for a radical solution—and by accident, time-travels. She lands in...
BATH, ENGLAND, PRESENT DAY. The film set of Northanger Abbey. As Jane acquaints her self with the horseless carriages and shocking fashions of the twenty-first century, she also discovers she's now a published author. A famous one. She befriends Sofia Wentworth, a fading Hollywood actress starring in the new period film, who offers to help Jane return to her own time. Then Jane meets Fred, Sofia's brother, who has the audacity to be handsome, clever, and kindhearted ..
But when Jane starts falling in love with Fred, disaster strikes. All her books begin disappearing from the shelves. Jane realizes that the longer she remains in the twenty-first century, the more she will erase herself from history. Jane must decide: Is a chance at love worth staying lost in time?
Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff
This has been in my possession since May 2021 and has been on my nightstand, my coffee table, the floor next to my couch, in my work tote, vacation carry-ons, and finally .... finally ....
I said to hell with everything I "should" be reading.
NetGalley can wait.
This book couldn't any longer.
I started reading at work Wednesday morning. I made it a few chapters in thanks to distractions and such. I made it through Part One by the time I left Thursday morning. The temptation to skip sleep after work and keep reading was tempting, but sleep won ... mostly for fear of falling asleep with the paperback in hand and wrinkling beloved pages in the process.
If I didn't already have the "forever shelf" paperback, it would be on its way. It's just one those books. It's 434 pages that shall be savored and cherished and likely reread multiple times.
At the time of this posting I still have quite a bit more to savor so I'm thinking more teasers will appear Sunday with an I'll Sleep When I've Read.... post. Even a second post (and a 156 to go along with the 56 today) won't even begin to do this justice, but I don't think that I will be able to pass up the temptation and need to ooh, aah, and omigoodnessthiswassomuchbetterthanexpected.
I even have a quote as my Facebook cover picture now:
An hour (or so) left to my shift.
226 pages left to go.
It's going to be a good weekend.
I already feel sorry for whatever I decide to read next.

Great excerpts! Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “FIND ME”
I love it when a book holds grab of me like that. I am glad you are enjoying Jane in Love. It does sound good. I have a soft spot for Jane Austen--and add it time travel! How fun! I hope you have a great weekend!
LOVE the quote you have as a FB cover! :-) Happy weekend!
Oh, I am so going to have to read this. I got tickled that you've had it since May of 2021, I was in the end month of my first pregnancy, and reading everything I could get my hands since sleep wasn't much of an option. After his birth, well reading went out the door for quite a while. Hope you have a great weekend.
