Old books.
The rough cut edges of the

"I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and
soul,
and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on".
and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on".
I recently found a little treasure by Jane Austen entitled,
Love and Friendship and Other Early Works.
The cold, winter weather is enticing me to stay inside, snuggle up by the fire, and read a good book ~ I hope to read this one soon.

Movie
adaptations often differ from the book version, but
I
adore the Pride and Prejudice movie with Kiera Knightley.
I
never tire of Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow.
There
is something about that time period and lifestyle that is so enchanting.

I took the quiz and got Mariann Dashwood! Which is exciting since she is my favorite Jane Austen Character. ;) I adore old books, too! They're so intriguing.. I just finished Pride & Prejudice and loved it! Can't wait to read Emma...!
