of a whole box full of new books!
Ten in all, of classics I should have read before now. I ordered them upon the discovery that our local public library had only one selection by Twain, a solitary book by Dickens, and nothing to be found of Jane Austen at all! (How can they call it a library?!)
After opening my treasured package, I pulled the books out one by one, smelled them (a very important part of acquainting oneself with a new book!) and was immediately faced with a dilemma- which to read first?
Being in a felicitous sort of mood, and partly out of indignation at our library's shocking lack of Austen, I chose Northanger Abbey and began reading right away.
Check out The Republic of Pemberley.
My goal is to read all ten books by August 31. Will it happen?

Delightful. Simply delightful. And how did you find Northanger Abby? Was it quite to your taste and your "felicitous" sort of mood?
Yes, I found Northanger Abbey quite to my taste. :)
I especially enjoyed how imaginative Catherine was- very reminiscent of a particular readheaded orphan L.M. Montgomery wrote about.
