On this day in 1775 (250 years ago!) Jane Austen was born. Join me for a fun appraisal of everything she wrote. What a gift she is to our world literary heritage. How would you guys rank her works? X

I’m a little behind on reading all of your lovely comments. The last couple of weeks have been bursting with adventure. We are far away from the library at the moment!
But there will be a new video dropping tomorrow. Excited to share it with you. I hope all of you are having a good end to the year. BBJ x

No video today unfortunately, friends. I hurt my back a couple of days ago and can’t even tie my own shoelaces right now. I’ll be back soon.
In the meantime, I thought I’d share my first ever video—for those of you that haven’t seen it. What a wonderful adventure we’ve had together over the last 18 months. I appreciate all of you that support the channel.
Much love, BBJ x

What a transformative reading year it’s been. I had a lot of fun compiling my top ten—but it was as hard to narrow down my choices! X
