Which Austen hero will I marry? Reading vlog: Lost in Austen by Emma Campbell Webster
Ever dreamed of starring in your very own Jane Austen romance? Well, now you can! Join me for a little bit of #janeaustenjuly fun as I read this ‘choose your own adventure’ style book and try to catch my very own regency husband! Will it be someone dashing like Captain Wentworth or someone rather less appealing, like the odious Mr Collins?

    Jane Austen Choose Your Own Adventure...and choosing your own beau 😉 I love it! I didn't watch the entire video as I still have a few Austens to read (Northanger, Mansfield, Persuasion) but I can't wait to return to this video once I have read them!

  • @katsnoveladventures1863

    I'm so happy to see you, Jack! đŸ„° Alice was a lovely person, and it is heartwarming to hear you sharing how special she is to you because she will always be with you. You have been blessed with making wonderful memories with Alice, and those memories are now treasures. While I hope that you and Gemma will continue with FOMO, I understand if you choose not to because Alice will be sadly missed. I am still planning to read the last two books for this year as a way to remember Alice. I'm grateful Alice's channel is still available because there are so many videos I still need to watch. I found this quote comforting after my best friend died in November. "The risk of love is loss, and the price of loss is grief. But the pain of grief is only a shadow when compared with the pain of never risking love." ~ Hilary Stanton Zunin Hugs and much love to you, Jack. ❀
