I LOVE THIS SM I’M SO HAPPY

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

Ch. 24/24

The Austen reread is finished!!! Persuasion, I love you.

QOTD: “Who can be in doubt of what followed? When any two young people take it into their heads to marry, they are pretty sure by perseverance to carry their point.”

Ch. 23/24

No confession of love in literature can ever top this.

QOTD: “You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope.”

Ch. 22/24

QOTD: “You need not tell her so, but I thought her dress hideous the other night. I used to think she had some taste in dress, but I was ashamed of her at the concert. Something so formal and arrangé in her air! and she sits so upright! My best love, of course."

Ch. 21/24

Three more days!

QOTD: “Prettier musings of high-wrought love and eternal constancy, could never have passed along the streets of Bath, than Anne was sporting with from Camden-place to Westgate-buildings. It was almost enough to spread purification and perfume all the way.”

Ch. 20/24

QOTD: “A man does not recover from such a devotion of the heart to such a woman!—He ought not—he does not."

Ch. 19/24

QOTD: “She hoped to be wise and reasonable in time; but alas! alas! she must confess to herself that she was not wise yet.”

Ch. 18/24

I love the Crofts so much.

QOTD: “No, it was not regret which made Anne's heart beat in spite of herself, and brought the colour into her cheeks when she thought of Captain Wentworth unshackled and free. She had some feelings which she was ashamed to investigate. They were too much like joy, senseless joy!”

Ch. 17/24

It’s Mrs. Smith!

QOTD: “She felt that she could so much more depend upon the sincerity of those who sometimes looked or said a careless or a hasty thing, than of those whose presence of mind never varied, whose tongue never slipped.”

Ch. 16/24

QOTD: “Such personal praise might have struck her, especially as it did not appear to Anne that the freckles were at all lessened.”

Ch. 15/24

Sir Walter’s mean girl chapter.

QOTD: “But still, there certainly were a dreadful multitude of ugly women in Bath; and as for the men! they were infinitely worse. Such scarecrows as the streets were full of!”

Ch. 14/24

10 more days! And we’re in Bath now!

QOTD: “Anne was not animated to an equal pitch by the circumstance; but she felt that she would rather see Mr. Elliot again than not, which was more than she could say for many other persons in Bath.”

Ch. 13/24

QOTD: “One man's ways may be as good as another's, but we all like our own best.”

Ch. 12/24

Mr. Elliot! Louisa! Anne and Wentworth!

QOTD: “Mrs. Charles Musgrove will, of course, wish to get back to her children; but if Anne will stay, no one so proper, so capable as Anne."

Ch. 11/24

Lyme!

QOTD: “When the evening was over, Anne could not but be amused at the idea of her coming to Lyme, to preach patience and resignation to a young man whom she had never seen before; nor could she help fearing, on more serious reflection, that, like many other great moralists and preachers, she had been eloquent on a point in which her own conduct would ill bear examination.”

Ch. 10/24

I’m reading slumping so hard rn. But live laugh love Persuasion and especially the famous hazelnut chapter.

QOTD: “I would rather be overturned by him, than driven safely by anybody else.”

Ch. 9/24

QOTD: “But neither Charles Hayter's feelings, nor any body's feelings, could interest her, till she had a little better arranged her own. She was ashamed of herself, quite ashamed of being so nervous, so overcome by such a trifle; but so it was; and it required a long application of solitude and reflection to recover her.”

Ch. 8/24

Sooo many bangers in this chapter. But I have to give it to my queen, Mrs. Croft.

QOTD: "But I hate to hear you talking so, like a fine gentleman, and as if women were all fine ladies, instead of rational creatures.
We none of us expect to be in smooth water all our days.”

Ch. 7/24

FREDDIEEEEEE

QOTD: “If there is any thing disagreeable going on, men are always sure to get out of it.”

Ch. 6/24

This book is so short! A quarter of the days down.

QOTD: “He had, in fact, though his sisters were now doing all they could for him, by calling him ‘poor Richard,’ been nothing better than a thick-headed, unfeeling, unprofitable Dick Musgrove, who had never done any thing to entitle himself to more than the abbreviation of his name, living or dead.”

Ch. 5/24

MARY MUSGROVE MY PROBLEMATIC QUEEN!!!

QOTD: “To be claimed as a good, though in an improper style, is at least better than being rejected as no good at all.”

Ch. 4/24

Poor Anne 3

QOTD: “She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older—the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.”

Ch. 3/24

QOTD: “A lady, without a family, was the very best preserver of furniture in the world.”

Ch. 2/24

QOTD: “How quick come the reasons for approving what we like!”

Ch. 1/24

LAST REREAD!!! I love this book sm.

QOTD: “He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliot, who united these gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion.”

Ch. 31/31

I LOVE JANE AUSTEN SM.

QOTD: “I leave it to be settled by whomsoever it may concern, whether the tendency of this work be altogether to recommend parental tyranny, or reward filial disobedience.”

Ch. 30/31

I LOVE HENRY.

QOTD: "He felt himself bound as much in honour as in affection to Miss Morland, and believing that heart to be his own which he had been directed to gain, no unworthy retraction of a tacit consent, no reversing decree of unjustifiable anger, could shake his fidelity, or influence the resolutions it prompted."

Ch. 29/31

I can’t believe I’m almost done!

QOTD: “They never once thought of her heart, which, for the parents of a young lady of seventeen, just returned from her first excursion from home, was odd enough!”
