Book 24 - I Was Jane Austen's Best Friend

I Was Jane Austen's Best Friend, Cora Harrison.  What a neat book!  I had fun reading this, it was quite enjoyable and I do adore the Regency time period.  I also love Jane Austen, so this turned out to be quite a nice book :)

Regency Ball (the theater)

When the first interlude from dancing came, the doors to a magnificent theater were opened.  Beautiful windows and pillars and staircases were to be found, and we found ourselves traveling up staircase after staircase to  see what lay ahead.  There we found that it truly was a theater, not just pretty scenery outside of it.  We ran through flights of staircases to be scene as we are below.

A grand stage!


To be . . . or not to be
Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?


Jenn took the younger girls down to the stage between photo shoots ^_^

Regency Ball (the dances)

Oh, it was lovely!  So many beautiful dances (and dancers, of course!)  I took the two below pictures.  Probably the only two I will specify because the camera got passed around so many times, and there were two cameras.  But I knew I took these XD



Starting Out :)


The four of us girls, dancing together. At least for now, lol.  we move so swiftly in dances!





Who knew dancing could be so much work?!
