you know what my perfect gift would be? an annotated copy of your favourite book. i don’t just mean a couple of tabs, i mean annotated. i mean highlighted to the ends of the earth, pages black with scribbled annotations, entire pages underlined and captioned ‘THIS’. i want to see tear stains on the pages, corners bent from when you threw it across the room, spine broken because you were too absorbed in the story to care. i want paragraphs of you yelling at characters, i want your witty remarks and sarcastic comments, i want your little doodles in the margins. because then you’re not just giving me a book. you’re giving me a little piece of yourself, and i think that’s the best gift you could give.

Oh to be the heroine in a Jane Austen novel, walking around with my petticoat six inches deep in mud but with my eyes brightened by the exercise

For science:

I’d like to see which Shakespeare plays people were required to read in high school (not that you chose to read, but ones that were actually assigned and discussed), so reblog or comment!

oh to have my hand brush gently but with yearning against the hand of a man who, through a comedy of errors, i assume hates me but has actually spent his days ever since we met pining for me in his country estate

the sheer level of galaxy brain jane austen was on when she wrote “if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more”

[morganalefays]

modern jane austen adaptions be like: the audience can have a little sexualisation of the male love interest, as a treat
