It's lovely and will definitely fit a classics mood :)<br /><br />And the bookstore I found this at was The Booksmith - in the Haight & Ashbury area of San Fran. It was a pretty cool store, but my favorite bookstore I visited there was Alexander Book Company near Market & Mission. It was three stories of books - I could have spent SO much time in there!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-71248481604026212902013-01-23T13:26:08.248-05:002013-01-23T13:26:08.248-05:00This book sounds absolutely lovely!

Oh and if you can remember, what was the name of the bookstore where you found it in San Francisco? The hubs and I are taking a trip out there in May and I would love any suggestions on places to go!

You definitely don't have to read Austen to enjoy this!<br /><br />And I re-read the first three Anne books last year, but I'm still planning on reading the rest of the series again this year. I love me some Lucy Maud Montgomery.<br /><br />Even you decide to read Austen first, I really look forward to your thoughts on this one! I think it's so delightful.<br /><br />And seriously, read some Austen after Anna Karenina :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-43808808830078005982013-01-21T11:11:42.551-05:002013-01-21T11:11:42.551-05:00I remember trying to read this years ago because o...I remember trying to read this years ago because of the J.K. Rowling blurb on the cover but at my fragile young age (okay, I was like, thirteen) I could not get into this book. I am so glad I picked it back up again this year and FINALLY read it for real. <br /><br />I think Cassandra is such a refreshing narrator and some parts of the book definitely made me laugh out loud. You are also seriously making me want to read Anne! <3 elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098549352641704742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-84351913163112513072013-01-21T10:18:22.108-05:002013-01-21T10:18:22.108-05:00YES!

But I wonder if I should wait until later in the year when I get some Austen under my belt? Especially since you mention that there are lots of P&P references and there is that quote about living in an Austen novel? <br /><br />Also, the more you mention Anne, the more I want to do an Anne re-read this year. <br /><br />But seriously, this sounds wonderful. But I don't want my lack of Austen-knowledge to make me love it less than I could potentially love it. Does that make sense?Asheley T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03908795522290889438noreply@blogger.com
