I think I'll re-read "Mansfield Park." It doesn't get enough love imo.

Persuasion is my favorite book ever time for a re-read.

My personal favorite is Sense and Sensibility.

Oh that's a great idea! I've always meant to read Persuasion.
I found Pride and Prejudice laugh out loud funny when it read it 10+ years ago.

I reread one or two of her books most years, but I have a few nonfiction books that I'd like to get to.
A Life in Small Things by Paula Byrne is one I just started.
Books I've read and recommend are:
Jane Austen's Wardrobe by Hilary Davidson
Jane Austen at Home by Lucy Worsley
What Matters in Jane Austen? Twenty Crucial Puzzles Solved by John Mullan
Jane Austen: A Life by Claire Tomalin
Jane Austen Cover to Cover by Margaret C. Sullivan (fun coffee table book of the many different edition covers)

One of my book groups is reading Pride and Prejudice. Beyond that I have no plans to celebrate

This year is Jane Austen's 250th birthday and there are lots of people celebrating by reading or rereading her books and reading nonfiction about her as well. Any plans to spend reading time on Jane Austen in 2025?
