Jane Austen's Bookshelf by Rebecca Romney
5.0
informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

As a Jane Austen fan aka a Janeite which I learned this terminology in this book, it got me thinking. Jane Austen like all of us had authors she admired and whom inspired her in some of her writing. In school you don’t learn of these authors particularly the women who came before Jane Austen. I was dumbfounded to learn about not only the works of these literary giants but how their lives impacted them. If you’re a huge Janeite and want to learn more of what Jane Austen read then this is the book for  you. 
I want to thank NetGalley @marysueruccibooks and @_simonelement! for this wonderful and insightful ARC
