Mansfield Park has risen in my estimation with every read. I think some of Austen’s most fascinating characters are in it, not to mention her best (worst) villain in Mrs. Norris.

It’s possible I heard this somewhere else…but being derivative is good right?

Ah Mrs. Norris! The worst! Also was JK Rowling referring to her with Filch’s cat?

I think I know less about this one than any other Austen. Exciting!

I think that is definitely most people's experience. I've read it a few times, but I'm excited to revisit it with everyone and maybe win a few more Mansfield Park converts!

I just went back through, and I’m most excited about September, December, and July simply because I haven’t read these, but it will be a treat to REVISIT the others! I can’t wait to hear y’all discuss Kristen Lavransdatter!

Those are all ones I'm excited for too...but honestly I am excited for the whole list. Kristin will probably be the highlight for me though!
