Explore your favorite author’s favorite authors at the JASNA Hawai‘i Reading Group’s summer discussion on March 28.
We will discuss Rebecca Romney’s 2025 book Jane Austen’s Bookshelf: A Rare Book Collector’s Quest to Find the Women Writers Who Shaped a Legend.
The Washington Post calls the book “a meditation on reading and writing, on honesty and self-discovery—and on what books can teach us, if we let them.”
