A COZY COTTAGE READATHON VLOG || Jane Austen's, "Persuasion"

Hello, friends!
We've made it most of the way through January-- this is a feat worthy of celebration as I find the Winter months often very difficult to get through, how about you? It's been especially difficult because of the pandemic but I won't harp on. Instead, here's to prioritizing comfort and feelings of well-being these winter months (or if you're in a different hemisphere than me, here's to soaking up all the sunshine).
I had a very cozy Sunday spent reading Jane Austen's, "Persuasion." I thoroughly enjoyed the novel and hope thoroughly enjoy this hygge-focused vlog I made of the day.
Thank you always for being here 💛
Big hugs,
Mo

    This thought just crossed my mind. If I was living in the time of Jane Austen's novel, I'd love for the novels to be long, in multiple books, and dragged out as long as possible. I mean, what else am I going to do? There were no movies, TV series, youtube videos, podcasts, or music. That's why one household can have up to 12 kids at that time.

    Hi Morgan! It is so true that you need to believe in yourself in order to make positive things happen in your life. I always find reading to be so therapeutic-giving me joy in life. I love buying books more than just downloading it on my tablet. There is nothing like having the physical book. Morgan, continue to remain positive because it enhance your self esteem and stress. It is healthy for your body.

    Hi Morgan .... So funny that I just came across your U Tube this morning! Especially as last evening I was watching EMMA ..! On TV ....! Here in Uk 🇬🇧! Like you I love the stories that Jane writes and so much enjoyed your Vlog this morning!! Earlier in the year I was lucky enough to visit the Austin home and village where Jane lived with her mother and sister! It was like stepping back in time where life was slower and there was a quietness about the village I’m sure you would love ... we walked to the church where her sister Cassandra and her mother were buried then walked to the house her brother lived in ... what a lovely day we had .... ! On our way to Glastonbury.... thank you 😊

    Great choice! I love the BBC adaption of Persuasion from 1995. Seen it many many times and yet strangely I haven't got around to reading the book! I love the settings for the book which include Lyme Regis and Bath. I read Northanger Abbey when I was in my early twenties and I really enjoyed it, but then I like all the Gothic fiction which it spoofs. I love Pride and Prejudice and have read it more than once. Emma is supposed to be really funny.

    I'm only 5 minutes in but I had to pause and share my excitement that you're reading Persuasion! It's easily one of my favourites (if not *favourite*) Austen novel. I think you'll love it!! Okay, back to the video! 😋 EDIT: Now that I've finished watching, I'm so glad you enjoyed Persuasion! Anne is definitely a more reserved, mature character than Austen's typical leads, and as much as I love Elizabeth and Emma, I found it really interesting exploring this new little world with Anne and Captain Wentworth. Thank you for the warm and cozy video as always, Morgan! They're my favourite way to start the day 💕

So I’m hoping that once I have finished my studies I’ll have more free time to spend on reading and will get round to reading Persuasion.

    @@MorganLong this truly puzzles me. I was hoping you'd reach your goal sub number by the end of December, but I also think YT has its own incomprehensible mechanisms no one will ever be able to predict. Your videos are so unique and the quality of the content and the esthetic is incredible, so I firmly believe it's just a matter of time.🌟🍀 We know you put your heart and soul in your videos, and this level of sincerity and transparency could be at odds with great numbers one day, and that's ok, we can always have patreon for that. (I plan to upgrade from peppermint to earl gray as soon as I'm able to☕). And, I noticed last week's numbers were strange almost on every channel, and I believe this could be due to the inauguration. I was glued to the livestream for a few days in a row myself (how amazing Amanda Gorman was? That last verse of The hill we climb makes me choke up every time) and I'm not even in the US. Also, may I suggest maybe a themed readathon? I feel those do so well (that's how the algorithm made me find your Anne with an e readathon 😍). I'd happily watch any day in the life by you, but I'm under the impression those kinds of themed videos do well... Sorry this was so long, and sorry for the unsolicited advice. Please know there's many of us who'll always be here for you💖

    I never really liked Jane Austen until last year when I bit the bullet and read Pride and Prejudice. My first attempt at Austin was in high school when I tried to read Sense and Sensibility. I stopped half way through and never finished it. I've changed so much since then as a reader. I've learned that when I read classics it's a necessary step to research the author and get a glimpse into their time period. Knowing that her novels are a commentary on the society of the time makes a big difference as well. I also read the forwards now. My problem right now is wanting to read large chunks at a time when I need to nibble on it. It overwhelms me a bit when I try to take too much in at once and I miss a lot of things.

    I have literally the exact same introductory experience to Jane Austen. I tried to read Sense & Sensibility in high school as my first go at her works and it seemed like a foreign language. It wasn't until a few years later that I downloaded the audio book to Pride and Prejudice and read along with it that I was finally able to understand and appreciate Austen's writing. Now I love her works! I also do research-- it helps so much. Happy reading!

I usually go to the jane Austen festival in Bath every year with my husband, We wear Regency attire for the whole week and it's like slipping back in time. The balls and concerts are wonderful. Sadly it was cancelled last September due to covid and I am trying to be optomistic about this year...but who knows.

    Hello lovely, such a good video. I have watched different versions of the movie Persuasion and from the sounds of your explaining the book, sounds almost totally different. But I know most books are different from the movies. I'll have to get the book and read it. Wanted to ask, do you purchase all the books you read or get them from library? Or both? Roo seems so content, quite and enjoying the winter as well. Do you walk him throughout the day and just don't video it? Being such a big dog, he seems to be full of energy. Sweet Roo!! I had the same breakfast today, yum. What was the last dollop you put on the oatmeal? Looks like peanut butter? I too have come to embrace the winter months. I use to dread them but am learning to calm, myself, to read more and just relax. This is such a productive season and much to enjoy and appreciate. I'm enjoying it for my health too. I enjoyed seeing you embrace and appreciate this season as well. TFS.
