Their joy on this meeting was very great, as well it might, since they had been contented to know nothing of each other for the last fifteen years.

    Oh a Jane Austen - nice work! Are your reading this for a particular challenge?

    A classic.. Isn't 15 years a long long time? I would just fail to recognize someone from that past...

    @The Book Gatherer: I'm reading this for several challenges--but I would read it anyway. I love Austen!

    I have never read a Austen novel. There always seems to be to many new books to read before I get to a classic.

    Hi Bev,
    I have this book on my TBR list. Haven't gotten around to reading it, there are just too many books to read and not enough time. Thanks for stopping by. Have a question for you. How do you color your words? I've tried, I must not be doing it right or something. Can ya help me out? Just email me or leave a comment. Thanks. Have a great day!

    Northanger Abbey is one of Austen's best but my favorite is persuasion.
    Thanks for stopping by.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
