Currently reading Godmersham Park by Gill Hornby, so I thought I’d do a Pride and Prejudice post!

These are mine and my late Grandma’s copies. Hers was published in 1962

[agrippinaes]

books I read in 2023

I read 240 books in 2023, which is lower than my total books read than the past few years. But it'd be ridiculous to be bothered by it because, hey, I still read 240 books!

I set myself a goal of trying to read more out of my comfort zone this year. I wanted to read 30 non-romance books, 25 physical books, and 10 non-fiction books. By the end of the year, I'd read a total of 54 non-romance books, 62 physical books, and 27 non-fiction books. I'm hoping to continue in this vein in 2024.

Other stats - for fun -

My most-read author was Cassie Mint

I gave out 32 5* ratings

My most-read genre was (of course) romance, 120 of which were contemporary

I owned most of the books I read

I read the most books in June, with 34 books read, followed by August, with 25 books read

My most read trope was forced proximity, followed by hate-to-love

So, below is a list of the books I read this year. Rereads are italicised, favourite reads are in bold.

WATERSTONES FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH 1/1/23 - JANUARY -  ‘GODMERSHAM PARK’ - GILL HORNBY

I was eyeing this book up in hardback last year so am interested now to see the paperback as the Waterstones Book of the Month.  I am interested in Jane Austen spin-offs and already have unread in my collection …

The Guardian review of ‘Godmersham Park’ describes the early ‘‘Miss Austen’ as ‘excellent’ (I should get reading). This new one is described as a ‘page-turning Austen romp’.

I have bought it on Kindle.

1 and 3

1) I'm currently reading "Godmersham Park" by Gill Hornby, "Age of Ash" by Daniel Abraham and I'm currently listening to "The Last Continent" by Terry Pratchett.

3) Some of my reading habits have definitely changed since by childhood and my teen years. The biggest change that I have seen is my lack of interest in contemporary novels. I used to love reading them, especially as a teen but in my 20s I got really bored of them and now I never touch them.

Currently reading: Godmersham Park by Gill Hornby.

Thoughts so far: The protagonist, Anne Sharpe, is insufferably arrogant who has a dislike for all men and prays for the safety of any woman who marries.

FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MISS AUSTENOn 21 January 1804, Anne Sharpe arrives at Godmersham Park in Kent to take up the position of governess. At 31 years old, she has no previous experience of either teaching or fine country houses. Her mother has died, and she has nowhere else to go. Anne is left with no choice. For her new charge - twelve-year-old Fanny Austen - Anne's arrival is all novelty and excitement.The governess role is a uniquely awkward one. Anne is neither one of the servants, nor one of the family, and to balance a position between the 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' members of the household is a diplomatic chess game. One wrong move may result in instant dismissal. Anne knows that she must never let down her guard.When Mr Edward Austen's family comes to stay, Anne forms an immediate attachment to Jane. They write plays together, and enjoy long discussions. However, in the process, Anne reveals herself as not merely pretty, charming and competent; she is clever too.
