I loved this book so much! I haven’t shut up about it since finishing it. I’ve since preordered a copy and have featured it as a selection for my online book club.

An interesting, history deep dive into one of the most prolific and well known writers out there who has arguably influenced so much of popular culture today even hundreds of years after her death. I enjoyed this book a lot!

I've always enjoyed Jane Austen. Rebecca Romney's book made me love her. What an amazing light she shines into the world of Jane Austen. You will never read Austen the same way after reading Jane Austen's Bookshelf. From the first page I was hooked. Thank you Rebecca!

Very interesting and well laid out. I wish all the books mentioned were available for us to read today!!

Thank you Simon Element for granting me an ARC!

3.5 stars. I enjoyed aspects of this and liked to see how different women played an important role in Austen's life. Interesting read.
