It's HUGE but has a nice engraving and some poetry interspersed throughout. I don't think I can make it all the way through before Halloween ends but I'm going to take a stab at starting it.QNPoohBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941631487565237299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-60840274941115846942009-10-30T11:19:30.546-04:002009-10-30T11:19:30.546-04:00I've never read this.

Skimming through it again, I'd forgotten just how funny it was and how she enjoyed layering in the atmospheric spookiness when Catherine was examining her room and happened upon the scroll...and then having the mysterious document be a laundry list and a farrier's bill--priceless!<br /><br />Thank you so much Janeen!!Marissa Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11248406475808085694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-55373006454654744872009-10-27T22:32:22.035-04:002009-10-27T22:32:22.035-04:00When I was younger I enjoyed a good ghost story bu...When I was younger I enjoyed a good ghost story but I think gothic novels are best appreciated by young ladies like Catherine. Like Jane Austen, now I find that sort of thing amusing. <br />Thanks for another great post.<br /><br />I finally read Betraying Season and I made a special blog entry about it on my blog if anyone is interested in my thoughts.QNPoohBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14941631487565237299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-33659098770753646152009-10-27T19:14:03.253-04:002009-10-27T19:14:03.253-04:00I would have to say that Northanger Abbey is one o...I would have to say that Northanger Abbey is one of my favorite Jane Austen Books. Though Lady Susan is up there too as well as Emma. Okay, I really like them all. <br /><br />I never thought of Northanger Abbey as a Gothic novel to read around Halloween.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718620444298042248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7730888263639781223.post-44032451530850227572009-10-27T16:34:32.832-04:002009-10-27T16:34:32.832-04:00This is probably blasphemy against P&P, but wh...This is probably blasphemy against P&P, but when I did my epic read-everything-Austen-wrote in high school, Northanger Abbey came out my favorite.
