One of my favorite self care things to do is to make myself a proper tea. I like all types in all ways and usually with a little treat. One of my daughters bought me this super cool teapot recently. The open book on top has the 1st words of Pride & Prejudice. This really is just perfect on all counts. I have more than a couple teapots and vintage teacups in my collection. This is my new favorite and will live next to my Jane Austen Chilterns.

Peeps:

What are some first lines in books you‘ve read that have been brilliant?
I‘m trying to come up with catchy quotes to pique student interest in reading but I am up against cell phones and social media here, so Jane Austen ain‘t cutting it.

Post your faves below!

So this is my IRL Bookclub! We‘ve been together for 15 years - which has included 3 marriages, 9 children, countless job changes, joys and heart aches! We talk books and life and everything in between. This weekend was the first time we‘d met in person for 2 years and it nourished my soul. #bookpeoplerock

#Pemberlittens @sprainedbrain
Time for #whiskeyandcontemplation of my rankings.

6๏ธโƒฃ Sense and Sensibility
5๏ธโƒฃ Mansfield Park
4๏ธโƒฃ Emma
3๏ธโƒฃ Persuasion
2๏ธโƒฃ Northanger Abbey
1๏ธโƒฃ Pride and Prejudice

I'll put my reasons in the comments.

Crinoline_Laphroaig 6. Sense and Sensibility.
Colonel Brandon is such a good man. He deserves better than Marianne Dashwood and her Sensibilities. Her histrionics wear me out.
2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig 5. Mansfield Park
For the longest time it was my least favorite. I think the reason teenage me didn't like it was the verbal abuse and neglect Fanny suffered just hit to close to home. Having survived and thrived my childhood I can now appreciate Fanny. #musingsonmansfield
2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig 4. Emma
I've always described Emma as a loveable snob. NYTimes article called 'Jane Austen's Guide to Alzheimer‘s' changed my perspective. It pointed out that "The novel asserts that Emma had little to distress or vex her, yet describes many distressing and vexing events. Emma is parenting her parent and has been doing so for quite some time."

Crinoline_Laphroaig 3. Persuasion
Younger me didn't get it's quiet beauty. The sadness of having missed out on love and getting a 2nd chance at happiness.
#pagesofpersuasion
2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig 2. Northanger Abbey
I love it's satire and snarky dialogue buy mostly I love it for Henry Tilney. He's no quiet brooding character like Darcy, Brandon, or Wentworth. His sunny disposition, but serious when he needs to be, makes him my favorite Austen hero. And he utters my favorite Austen quote: "The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid." #henrytilney?
2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig 1. Pride and Prejudice
Elizabeth Bennet taught 16 year old me the importance of being an #ObstinateHeadstrongGirl. ๐Ÿ˜Š
2y
Andrea313 I love your reasoning! I've been grappling with how I'd rank these now that I've re-read them all and am still struggling! There's so much to love, how can I choose? But you've inspired me to try again. 2y
TiredLibrarian @Crinoline_Laphroaig Very interesting reasoning. I like the insight into Emma, too: never looked at it that way. 2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Andrea313 I love a good list! 2y
CaramelLunacy Love the FunkoPop! I agree that Henry Tilney's charms oft go underappreciated. 2y

This popped up in my Facebook On this Day. Every year I celebrate my Birthday for as many Days as I'm years old. Not about big parties and spending money although I do spend money. Hey it's my Birthday. But more importantly it's taking time every day to enjoy life's little moments. #Pemberlittens are definitely a part of that. I didn't realize we've been at this over a year. It's been a delight. ๐Ÿ“š

RaimeyGallant Interesting. She pokes fun at more than just literary habits/preferences. 2y
Chrissyreadit @RaimeyGallant she does poke fun at a lot but for some reason your comment also made me think of Rory Gilmore. I bet Jane would have written a character similar to her in modern days. 2y

@LeahBergen IT FINALLY ARRIVED!!! EEEK

It‘s heavy and full of goodies!!! (I made sure not to look at the Customs slip)

The good thing is I don‘t have to wait too long before opening day! ๐Ÿ˜

LeahBergen Yayyyy! That was nerve wracking (it was posted on November 18th! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ). So sorry about the colourful tape; I ran out of the clear stuff while I was packing it. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ 2y

Looking for this old photo for #chawtonhousephotochallenge I'm doing on Instagram. Thought I would use for today's #Pemberlittens post. W/ #NorthangerAbbeyNovember is coming to and end. Time to make a Dec Stack. Will concentrate on P & Prejudice retellings I didn't get to in Oct since N Abbey retellings are scheduled for Jan. @sprainedbrain

Previous post 2yrs ago: Of course I brought home Lizzy, Darcy, & Jane. ๐Ÿ˜Š
