#JaneAustenJuly 2026 What I’ll be reading
We’re again at #JaneAustenJuly. This year, I’ll be (re)reading Emma and the non-fiction A Portrait of Jane Austen by David Cecil, published in 1978, that some dear friends gift me recently from their visit to Hay-on-Wye (yes, the Book Town).
You can check my past post with direct links to all the works of Jane Austen from Project Gutenberg, that you can read anywhere. If you have a Kobo, you may prefer the kepub format (statistics and so on), so here’s the link to Austen’s works at Standard Ebooks.
What will you be reading for #JaneAustenJuly? :-)

Meine ersten Erfahrungen mit Jane-Austen-Romanen machte ich mit dem Reclam-Verlag und so mit der Übersetzung der Grawes.
Bei meiner Beschäftigung mit ein paar Einzelfragen sind mir Sachen aufgefallen, die ich nicht so toll finde – eine davon habe ich jetzt als Blogartikel verarbeitet:

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Who is the author with more works in the Guardian’s list of 100 greatest novels of all time?
The Guardian made a list of the 100 greatest novels of all time. You can see the list here, with links to how Guardian’s made it. First place of the list is George Eliot with Middlemarch, but I thought to check which authors had more works in this list. And it’s Virginia Woolf with five books!
Second place in the number of the novels in the list are Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, both with four books.
Best part? There all in public domain, so you want to start with any of these four authors, right here, right now, head to Project Gutenberg and let’s read!
Books by George Eliot – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/90
Books by Virginia Woolf – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/89
Books by Jane Austen – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/68
Books by Charles Dickens – https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/37

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice was first published on 28th of January of 1813 and is one of my (and so many others) favorite novels of all time. If you never read it, do not go thinking it is a love story. Well, it’s kind of, but it’s so much more: It’s a comedy of manners and social criticism.
“I must confess that I think her as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print, and how I shall be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least I do not know.“
Jane Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra on the 29th of January of 1823Elizabeth Bennet is one of my favourite characters: she is intelligent, witty, has no problems to recognise she was mistaken, but also she embodies women independence and resistance. We can see this when she decides to walk to Netherfield, instead of waiting for the carriage, to check on her sister or, when in Rosings, Elizabeth is playing the piano and says to Mr. Darcy:
“My fingers,” said Elizabeth, “do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I see so many women’s do. They have not the same force or rapidity, and do not produce the same expression. But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault—because I would not take the trouble of practising. It is not that I do not believe my fingers as capable as any other woman’s of superior execution.”
There are many editions of Pride & Prejudice, some with introductions or annotated that give more insights on the text, but if you want to read it right now, head over to Project Gutenberg that has the edition with the illustrations by Hugh Thomson. You can read it or download it here.

Tomorrow I’m teaching a workshop on research beyond AI as my side hustle, Nerd Girl Industries. Also, my two football teams, Wrexham and Nottingham Forest are playing (not each other). I’m going to catch the Wrexham game since it’s before my workshop but the Forest game, against Arsenal, starts while I’m teaching.

"Bridget Jones' Diary" is one of my fav movies and I always watch it at least once during the holiday season. Since Bridget and Mark met at a New Year party her parents hosted, I plan to watch the movie this weekend.

Jane Austen mentions second breakfast in Mansfield Park, published 123 years before The Hobbit.
"Soon after the second breakfast, Edmund bade them goodbye for a week, and mounted his horse for Peterborough, and then all were gone." (Ch. 29)

A classic when it comes to #seamonsters is this (famous or infamous?) 2009 #mashup of #JaneAusten 's #SenseandSensibility with "monstrous" contributions by Ben H. Winters. Maybe 2025 is a good time to dive into it for #JaneAusten250 ?

Been wanting to get something from the #JaneAusten #fabric collection by #RileyBlake for a while now. The #MansfieldPark series was on sale from #MissouriStarQuiltCo today so I'm finally adding it to my #quilting stash.
#WIPWednesdayFound two other pretty fabrics while I was on the site and ordered those too. (Lavender with tan vines and blue with swans.)
