#BookFaceFriday & the Jane Austen Book Club
Resting #BookFace

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a reader in possession of free time, must be in want of a #BookFaceFriday. “Northanger Abbey,” “Persuasion,” “Emma,” and “Pride and Prejudice” all by Jane Austen are this week’s #BookFaceFriday picks, and they are all available, along with “Mansfield Park,” and “Sense and Sensibility,” in our Book Club Kit collection. Inspired by the Jane Austen book club from Papillion utilizing our collection, we wanted to highlight what we have available in our Book Club Kits for groups interested in reading a single author. Other authors we have more than six titles by include: Debbie Macomber – 25; Jodi Picoult – 21; Elin Hilderbrand – 19; Nicholas Sparks – 16; Richard Paul Evans – 14; Elizabeth Berg – 13; Barbara Kingsolver 13; Carl Hiaasen – 12; Gary Paulsen – 12; Beverly Lewis – 11; Kristin Hannah – 10; John Grisham – 10; Louise Erdrich- 9; Fannie Flagg – 9; Neil Schusterman – 8; Toni Morrison – 8; Jerry Spinelli – 8; Sandra Dallas – 8; David Sedaris – 7; Liane Moriarty – 7; Jo Nesbo – 7; Ann Patchett – 7 ; Anne Tyler – 7; and Judy Blume – 7.
“witty, clever, and engaging – and easy to read despite being written over 200 years ago. Austen is adored to this day for her sharp social commentary, and her vivid, complex characters, creating novels that continue to entertain and enchant.”
