pickI'm behind on reviews again, but felt the same as most #pemberlittens with this one. It was decent but there were sooo many characters to keep track of and while I liked revisiting some of my favorites, I don't know that the couples paired were the best matched. Glad to have read this though, especially with the #hashtagbrigade
A fun romp with the #pemberlittens and the #hashtagbrigade, led by the ever-hilarious and insightful @BarkingMadRead. Considered the first “fan“ Austen novel as well as pastiche, I enjoyed the attempt by Brinton to include most every main/minor character from all of Austen's novels. However, there were a ton of characters to keep track of, and some were only mentioned briefly. I also found Kitty to be a brat. Still, I loved reading with the group!
pickSoft pick. I enjoyed this one - and I especially enjoyed reading it, as always, with the #HashtagBrigade - but I think this book would have benefited from either narrowing its focus or being spread out over multiple books. We have every single character Austen ever thought about creating all milling about, and three different love stories, so it's a lot to jam in. In the end, I wanted to like it more than I did, mainly because I'm not actually ⬇
pickRead with the #hashtagbrigade for the #PemberLittens I am happy to have finally read this one. I am giving it a soft pick for sentimental & 💕of Jane Austen reasons + it was early fan fiction. Reading it in a chapter-a-day format with funny hashtags from @BarkingMadRead was the way to go here as the many characters & the extra angst might have annoyed me in bigger doses.
pickA bit over the top with misunderstandings, broken engagements, and then there is Kitty Bennet. The most annoying character of the book. I found myself agreeing with Mrs Bennet and yelling "Oh! hang Kitty! what has she to do with it?"
Not my favorite Austenesque but fun Chapter a Day Readalong. Thank you @BarkingMadRead for hosting and all the fun memes!
pickThis was delightful! A 1914 fan fiction compendium of all of Jane Austen‘s characters living in one story and living out their lives. I might need a physical copy to put in my shrine
so-so#pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade
A sequel to all six published Austen novels, Old Friends and New Fancies manages to star, revisit or at least mention most of the characters we know and love from the Austen books. The first chapters were quite confusing for me, it wasn't easy to follow who was who and how people knew one another. The connections were quite clever, but that's all I can say on the positive side. ⬇️
