Are You Like Jane Austen? Tag Alisha Reads & Rambles 2021-08-24 | Hi Friend! Thanks for watching!Go check out Shelly's video: youtube.com/watch?v=B23u5XMdF_E&t=0sGo check out Sandy's video: youtube.com/watch?v=3DwGbY8-6EUGo check out Rachael's video: youtube.com/watch?v=pytiq4mt_QcQuote from Pride and Prejudice: "Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."I also wanted to acknowledge, but forgot to mention while filming, that I see not being able to be bothered about my hair to be a privilege. There are many people who have to be bothered about their hair, because if they are not they could face real consequences such as being fired from their jobs. It is a privilege to not have to worry about that, and I just wanted to call that out. Prompts: 1) Jane Austen was.an artist and writer. Give yourself a point if you're an artist. Give yourself an extra point if you are a writer.2) Austen was born to a large family. She had a total of 7 siblings: one sister and six brothers. Give yourself a point if you have three or more siblings family. 3) Austen did not enjoy her formal education. Give yourself a point if you did not care for school. 4) Dark humor is weaved throughout Austen’s writing. Give yourself a point if you have a grim sense of humor. You must share a dark joke in order to get this point. 5) Jane broke off two engagements and died a spinster. Give yourself a point if you are single.6) Austen experienced low periods or spells of depression. Give yourself a point if you have struggled with mental health. 7) Jane moved away from her childhood home in her 20s. Give yourself a point if you’ve lived away from your childhood hometown or region. 8) Jane was not vain. Give yourself a point if you have very little interest in vanity.9) Hair was of little concern to Austen. Give yourself a point if you cannot be bothered with your hair. 10) Austen expressed her distaste for hot weather. Give yourself a point if you dislike the heat. How did you score? 10-11 - The spirit of Jane Austen lives in you. She’s with you day in and day out. 9-8 - In another life Jane Austen and you could have been siblings or at least good friends. You want to spend time with one another and work to make that happen.6-7 - You and Austen are friends. You two could enjoy a long walk in the country and chat about all of the things you all have in common.4-5 - Though you have less in common with Jane than some, you could probably spend an afternoon with her chatting about your similarities and differences. 2-3 - You and Austen may not share much in common, but you two would be delighted to see one another at a local social gathering exchanging pleasantries on your different lives. 0-1 - You and Austen could learn a lot from one another considering how different you are. This could be shared over a cup of afternoon tea.Instagram: alisha_reads_and_rambles

Reading Vlog - getting ready for my piano final - Alisha Reads & Rambles 2021-05-15 | Hi friends thanks for watching!Here are links to a few reviews about What To Say Next:app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/828755aa-2e79-43c0-88c5-56319b466fe9goodreads.com/review/show/2166068174?book_show_action=true&from_review_page=1 (This review is from an own voices reviewer)goodreads.com/review/show/2042716092?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=5goodreads.com/review/show/2133521512?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=8A couple of these reviews are very long and contain spoilers so keep that in mind if you are going to check them out. One of the reviews is from an own voices reviewer, I thought I remembered reading another one previously but couldn't find it again. Overall this book is well loved but I agree more with the issues raised in the reviews linked above than the reviews I read praising it.
