I re-watched over Christmas as many Jane Austen films and series as I could find, and I’m now re-reading her books in the company of slow readers, enjoying that sense of connection to others around the world, while I sit in my small, quiet, warm home with my little dog cuddled up snoozing next to me and rain gently tapping on the window
A slow reread of Jane Austen's novels, sharing the experience with other readers, in a snug home with the sound of the rain on the windows, with a lovely little dog for company, sounds absolutely lovely Jaimie!
Maybe I should add some wine to my list, Nancy! And yes, rereading Austen would be a great idea, especially with this year being the 250th anniversary of her birth. I'm hoping to do a reread of all her novels this year...
I just got a candle warmer and am very excited to use it. Team all the candles!
A candle warmer? I haven't heard of such thing! I'm off to investigate...
The one I got is from Amazon (boo I know etc) and looks like a little flower bending over! Link is obnoxiously long but here it is:

lol that is a long link! But thank you. Those are really rather lovely. And a great idea, safety-wise (especially for this candle loving ADHDer 😅).

It feels very cosy and comforting, although Rosie would really like me play tug all evening today 😊💕

My comfort these days is like yours... books, coffee, candles, and wine. Lots and lots of wine...! Maybe it's time to reread Austen.

Wow. All of her novels... you're ambitious. But I can picture it!
Ambitious or foolish?! I'll let you know how it goes! 😅🙈
