I'm just saying that I think Elinor deserves a drink, a hug, and ten million dollars in cash. (Or would that be pounds?) #reread #classics

Read in January. 1995 movie watched today.

I wasn‘t sure I would enjoy this one as much as P&P or Persuasion, but I did. I read in print but also listened to Rosalyn Landor‘s lovely narration. I laughed out loud at some of the character‘s comments and behaviors,mainly the unsavory characters. #aam #authoramonth

dabbe This was my January Austen read, too! I loved it + the movie! ❤️💜🩷 1mo
batsy Kind of becoming my favourite, or second favourite, Austen. Adore the movie! 1mo

#AuthorAMonth @Soubvihille Two sisters who are complete opposites in character spend most of their time trying to understand one another as they struggle with their world and finding happiness and husbands. Both undergo changes and learn to meet each other halfway as they grow closer together. Austen's wit and savage commentary about the social norms of the day are evident here as in her other books. I adored Elinor and Marianne. Next, the movie!

AnnR Lovely review! 🙂 This is the one Austen novel I still need to read. 2mo
Cuilin I love both movies. The BBC‘s version is fabulous, but Emma Thompson‘s is my favorite and Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon 😍Enjoy. 2mo

S&S is the first Austen book I fell in love with, and the one I've returned to the most throughout my life. My relationship with the characters has changed so much as I've aged, and it makes me deeply appreciate Jane's staggering skill. To see myself in a work at 14, at 26, at 35, and at 40, and to laugh and cringe and think back fondly is such a gift. On top of that, to continually take away new discoveries is a rare thing. #PemberLittens

Just as wonderful as I remember! No one does annoying neighbors and greedy family members better than Austen. I blew through this, listening while walking, working out, cooking, and painting. I haven‘t done a paint by number in over a year and I forgot how calming it was. Especially while listening to Austen :) #BookspinBingo #Authoramonth @TheAromaofBooks @Soubhiville

The Dashwood sisters are unlucky at love, thanks to men who were deceitful about their intentions. Meanwhile, their world is surrounded by nasty in-laws and busybodies and manipulators. Thankfully there are also a few kind souls who genuinely care about them and some luck and payback may help to put things to right. Rosamund Pike is an excellent narrator—taking the time to distinguish many characters and their emotions. #authoramonth

Soubhiville Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 2mo

I‘m on my third Austen book this month, fourth Austen book I‘ve read so far having read Emma some years back, but I‘m getting a little weary of her. Rosamund Pike is an excellent narrator and I‘m glad I switched to the audio—it‘s easier to keep going. But I am so tempted to bail. I‘m 5 hours into it, a big investment, with “only” 6-1/2 hours to go. Stay or go?

Between Barton and Delaford, there was that constant communication which strong family affection would naturally dictate;—and among the merits and the happiness of Elinor and Marianne, let it not be ranked as the least considerable, that though sisters, and living almost within sight of each other, they could live without disagreement between themselves, or producing coolness between their husbands.

I am working my way through Jane Austen novels. I didn't enjoy this one as much as Pride & Prejudice. Overall, I didn't feel like very much happened, and I didn't care for any of the men.

If I had been told what this book was about I wouldn‘t have read it. The life in which adolescents only priority in life is to be married off, doesn‘t interest me enough to read a story about it more than once. But this novel is more than a story, and Austen‘s style of writing is so captivating that I enjoyed the whole of it. Such an intelligent author too, who didn‘t spend unnecessary pages on endless and fatiguing description.

I forgot to post that I'd finished this one. It was my first time reading it and I'd never seen an adaptation. The ending wasn't what I expected. I had something completely different in mind! In retrospect, *of course* it ends the way it does. Still, my version could have been good! 😂

1. This was harder to determine than expected, so I‘m going to go with the tagged book.
2. As long as the author is not “phoning it in,” the series can go on indefinitely.
3. The Deborah Knott series by Margaret Maron. It was a satisfying ending but still a little bittersweet.

I saw Jessica Swale‘s adaptation of Sense and Sensibility performed this summer and fell in love with the smart choices and beautiful production. It was a pleasure to read the adapted play. The added scenes between Elinor and Edward spark with chemistry. The little sister, Margaret, is fleshed out and I love the depth her naturalist tendencies add to the story. A brilliant stage adaptation for anyone who loves the original novel.

Having seen the movie first, I can say that reading the story was much more interesting. The movie made me feel that too many elements were similar to Pride and Prejudice (sisters in need of good marriages, a male character of little consistency, etc). Reading the book allowed me to fully enjoy the nuances and the characters.

Dear #pemberlittens, I finished reading the previous selection! Now, I will look back and read everyone‘s comments. My favorite character was Elinor Dashwood. She exemplified strength, loyalty, kindness and grace. The writing was exquisite, as I fully expected. However, the constant evaluations of a woman‘s beauty as her ticket to a good match irritated my enjoyment of the story. I was so tired of the tributes to Marianne‘s beauty.

StaceGhost I loved Elinor! She‘s one of my daughter‘s literary namesakes. Also, I love what you said about women‘s looks being used as currency. I feel like Austen was definitely making ✨A Statement✨ It‘s almost as if she‘s saying a little less beauty would make it easier for women to be happier because then they wouldn‘t be as idealized. Same thing with Kitty in AK— let women be beautiful and happy! And don‘t make a big to do about it lol (edited) 2y
sprainedbrain I‘m so glad you loved it! I also love Elinor ❤️ 2y

I read Pride and Prejudice several years ago and absolutely loved it. I have therefore been wanting to read another book by Austen for some time.
I did enjoy reading S&S but I have to admit that I didn‘t love it just as much as P&P. Also everything happened very fast at the end which was kind of a shame.

This was my first time reading this Austen, which is crazy. But I'm glad I joined the #Pemberlittens in this chapter-a-day! I went in completely blind, as I've put off even watching any adaptations for years until I read the book. Overall I enjoyed the story and the characters. Honestly though, I was a little disappointed in who the ladies ended up with at the end. Edward did not deserve Elinor, but hey, as long as she's happy 🙃

While I love chapter-a-day reads because I get to savor something and spend drawn out relaxed time with it, this is the first time I‘ve finished a #pemberlitten book feeling like I missed something by not reading it straight through, so I may make time to come back to this one later this year… #PopSugar2022 #ABookSetInVictorianTimes

This time around, I was surprised to feel slightly more sympathy for Edward; like @ravenlee, I typically find him to be a pretty useless leading man, but I felt myself softening toward him. I also find that I hate Lucy more and more each time I read it- what a manipulative dirtbag! 2y

We've done it again, #PemberLittens! Congrats on making it to the end! Marianne and Brandon have a boring-ass love story where she gradually learns to love and respect him, and they marry; Mrs. Ferrars forgives both of her sons, and even throws a coin or two Edward's way; Willoughby has some regrets, but still goes on his pleasure-seeking, perma-fuckboy way; and Mrs Jennings and Sir John turn their attention to Margaret as the action closes. Fin!

After a quick anxiety walk, Edward returns to officially propose, and he quickly secures his lady! Huzzah! A good deal of the rest of the chapter is given over to everyone trashing Lucy, which is the right and proper reaction to her fuckery. Colonel B comes back around and he and Edward get on like...dare I say...brothers? The two set off together to check out the pad at Delaford as we continue to hurtle toward our happy ending. #PemberLittens
