The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel must be intolerably stupid

User meganbmoore referenced to your post from The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel must be intolerably stupid saying: [...] to rock Henry Tilney a) like a hurricane, b) like a wagon wheel and c) all night long. Jane out! [...]

I'm halfway through Mansfield Park, which I spent wondering if you had named your Crawfords after these Crawfords (I'm pretty sure these suck, but I'm keeping an open mind) because it's Austen and you are you.

I loved Northanger Abbey and I loved your parody. I meant to ask, what's your Austen novel ranking order look like? I feel like none other can come close to P&P but I still have a few to go so if you can hint to the right order... :p

Loved the short stories, too. The Kami one particularly and will try to get the book asap :) Happy Unspoken day to you!

[sarahtales]

I did. ;) Crawfords 4 eva!

Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and Northanger Abbey. But I love them all!

I'm glad you like the stories and hope you enjoy Unspoken!

Now I feel like a literary detective of sorts XD. And it gives me some hope for them in the novel, as well. Henry's pursuit of Fanny is bit too close to stalking for my taste... I don't even like Fanny that much but when she's right, she's right.

"I should have thought," said Fanny, after a pause of recollection and exertion, "that every woman must have felt the possibility of a man's not being approved, not being loved by some one of her sex at least, let him be ever so generally agreeable. Let him have all the perfections in the world, I think it ought not to be set down as certain that a man must be acceptable to every woman he may happen to like himself.

I have no doubts about Unspoken, I'm just a bit reluctant because I know I'll have to wait for the sequels :p

I love your parodies so hard. I have to say, though, the first line that hooked me wasn't actually the parody:

In vain I have struggled. It will not do. You must allow me to parody NORTHANGER ABBEY.

Jane Austen. *fans self* I've never really wanted to read Northanger Abbey, but I'm going to have to go dig up a copy now...

There are no local independent book stores left in my area, if you can believe that. *facepalm*

[sarahtales]

It is all good! I mean, sad, but all good, since all bookshops will order in books and also there is the sweet onlines, I just meant, hey, indies might have it already for thy conveniences, dear readers!

Happy Unspoken day! I'm stopping at bookshops on my way home, with my fingers crossed.
