Name: Stella

Reading: Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen

Why did you want to read this? I studied this classic book at school and loved it, aided by an excellent English teacher. I enjoyed the antiquated but relatively accessible language/wit as well as the colourful ensemble of characters. Of course, my naive teenage self fell in love with the lively heroine, Elizabeth Bennet (see also, Jane Eyre!). It's been quite comforting to rediscover this book again!

How did you record yourself? Laying on my sofa using my phone and a mic cocooned in cushions, fighting the sound of seagulls and cars outside.
