Rereading Northanger Abbey Every October

I never tire of rereading Jane Austen's works.

I do have particularly opinions on the power of rereading, but this is a comforting read for me each October.

I know that some readers don't enjoy Northanger Abbey, but I adore it for what it is. Catherine Morland is definitely a heroine in my mind, and taking that journey with her to Northanger Abbey fills me with cozy and comforting feelings.

I take my time with the reread and this year am doing it on audio. I am NOT an audiobook listener, but for listening and doing a text combo, or listening to audiobooks of very familiar works. 

Jane Austen is my favorite novelist of whose works I love to listen.

I also reread Pride and Prejudice every year (sometimes more than once- hello 2021 when I reread it 3 times that year), and listening to it and reading it is such a powerful and amazing experience. 

I adore Jane Austen and urge you to check out an audiobook of Northanger Abbey from your local library if possible. Otherwise, there are lots of free audiobooks on YouTube. (I pay for Premium so I never have commercials).

Happy rereading my slow living friends.
