I am going to start at 7pm, and I will update as I go. I am going to try to use this whole weekend to get in 48 hours solid or as close as I can. With breaks as well. I have been slow lately, but hopefuly hubby being gone for the weekend will be a help. So..here’s hoping.
This is sad for me, I didnt have anything for waiting on Wens. and I don’t have anything for Friday finds…maybe next week.
Moser (Mozart’s Sister) frames this novel as a journal written by Jane Austen, following her life from when she falls in love with Tom Lefroy at age 20 until she is an established writer in her late 30s. Those familiar with Austen’s life will recognize many of the circumstances—the loss of the beloved family home at Steventon when her father retired to Bath, the death of her sister Cassandra’s fiancé, her mother’s many illnesses. However, they may not recognize Moser’s Austen, who mopes about pining after guys, resents her parents, worries regularly about whether she is a real writer and reflects on her faith in God (which was important to Austen, but which she was reticent to discuss). Austen’s voice comes through in extensive quotes from her letters—paragraphs and even occasionally pages. Since these are mostly unmarked, readers may not recognize them as Austen’s words, but their vivacity and wit often make them stand out from the rest of the writing. Some aspects of the book are charming, and it is an easy introduction to Austen’s life. However, it fails to be compelling as it devolves into simply tracking events as they occur, and does not capture Austen’s spirit. It will likely disappoint both Austen devotees and historical fiction fans. (Sept.)

It is a fictional account of Jane’s life, but it stays as true to fact as possible (I have since been researching it’s in my nature) and is written fantastically. We follow Jane through her life, her chances to marry that she declined, and her family’s ups and downs we are there through it all. We see the good Jane and the bad Jane. She was a fantastic Aunt, but a very critical person. She enjoyed going to balls, and yet she couldn’t stand most of the people either, a walking talking contradiction my kind of person!
If you know anything about Jane Austen anything at all, you will love this book. Nancy Moser does a fantastic job of telling the story of the woman who wanted to be alone and yet didn’t. Who gave her life to her work. Her life was her work. And we will see bits of Jane in all of our favorite characters and some of her family too. And of course you will see just when her work was truly appreciated, while she was acclaimed well enough when the works came out it was not until the 1900’s when she truly became appreciate for what we know her as today.
I have to say while I was looking I got the major itch to redo my home office. You know that lovely space where I often come to read, and of course to make my bloggy posts.

It really makes mobility easier for those who are in their golden years. Stair lifts are perfect for multi-leveled houses with household members who have difficulty climbing stairs. When not in use, the stair lift chair easily folds up and out of the way. Each of these stair lifts were designed with homeowner installation in mind, and a standard installation usually takes the average homeowner about 2-3 hours, if it’s your grand parent ordering you may have to be the good kid and help them put it in.
I remember how upset my great grandmother was when she had to move out of her three levels home and into a 1 level home that was easier for her to get around in. she really was devastated.

She would not have had to move out of her beloved family home and could have continued to go on happily. So head on over and check them out. See if you can save your loved ones some happiness.
