Chapter IX

I have just officially, for the first time ever, enjoyed an entire chapter of Persuasion!!!! (I even took a quote from it! Whaaaat!) I hardly know what to do with myself now!

Chapter X – XII

I can’t believe how much I just read all at once! It’s a freaking miracle!

After enjoying Chapter IX, I decided to ride that enjoyment as far as it would take me and kept going all the way to Chapter XII, the end of Volume I. I didn’t enjoy these three chapters like I did Chapter IX, but I wasn’t impatient to be finished for the week like I have been every single other week of this project, so I think that’s good enough really.

I’m now officially ahead of schedule and I can genuinely say I enjoyed one chapter of this book which has given me years of trouble!


In this post I explained my plan to finally work my way through Jane Austen’s Persuasion (the only book of hers I don’t like at all).

At the end of each week, either Friday or Saturday, I will post an update of my progress and any thoughts, should I have them.

Chapter VIII

I just…. I’m so bored!

The only thing keeping me going (aside from my determination to finally mark this book ‘read’) is the hope that something will happen between Anne and Frederick. But it’s a really weak little hope…

Chapter VII

Wow I think actually felt something for half a second during this chapter! But aside from that half-second feeling, I still hate everyone Anne knows… (Okay I might not hate Frederick Wentworth…)

Chapter VI

The first half of this chapter was basically Gossip Girl… Everyone talks shit about everyone else behind their back, and they all do their talking to Anne. Anne = Gossip Girl Confirmed.

I honestly don’t understand how this chapter took 10 pages. It doesn’t feel like 10 pages of information?
