Review ebook Northanger Abbey, Lady Susan, The Watsons, Sanditon

I am a Jane Austen fan. I have read most of her work and love them all. Northanger Abbey is one of my favorites. While it started out slower than what I was expecting, it leads a great path to the growth of an adventurous mind. Overactive imaginations are a wonderful thing especially for writers. But in the time period for young ladies looking for love, they were very troublesome. I could read this over and over again. Oh wait, I already have.
