I was debating whether or not to give this 3.5 or 4 stars. I finally decided on 4 because the story was so clever!

This was my third Jane Austen novel. Previously, I had read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility and enjoyed both of them.

My immediate impression of this book was that it was hilarious.

Gorgeous cover or what? It has Sense and Sensibility (which I currently am reading), Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion.

If you're an Austen fan, let me know which of the six you love best!

(Excuse me for not posting for a while, I was busy with family in town)

The Making of Pride and Prejudice | Sue Birtwistle, Susie Conklin

Thanks for the #BAndBDay (Book and Beverage Day) tag @TheSpineView 🤗

I woke up earlier with a bad headache & now I‘m tucked in on the couch with green tea and the Pride and Prejudice 1995 series on. Hoping the tea & Excedrin (& Colin Firth) work their magic so I can continue with this book that needs to go back to the library soon, but if not there‘s nothing wrong with a BAndB & PAndP Day! 😉

Ruthiella The medicinal properties of Colin Firth! 👍 Hope you feel better soon. ❤️ 1mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Deblovestoread I didn't get to 2008 mini series. 😢 2mo

AnneCecilie @Deblovestoread I watched the same ones. I‘m so happy about I got to rewatch these 2mo

julieclair Starting this one tonight (Where did February go???)

Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnneCecilie it's pure comfort. 2mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair I know! Suddenly it's Spring. 2mo

peanutnine I read the tagged because I love murder mysteries! It was excellent and I think true to the spirit of the original. I also watched the 1995 film, which is a favorite. I didn't know about a mini series! I'll have to check it out

Sense and Second-Degree Murder

2mo

CaramelLunacy @peanutnine I just finished Sense and Second Degree Murder as well. I had a good time with the investigations, and especially Margaret gathering material for her horrid novels! 2mo

CaramelLunacy I watched the movie From Prada to Nada, a contemporary retelling where Nora and Mary are spoiled rich girls in Beverly Hills and have to move in with a working class aunt when they lose their father. I had a good time, though Mary was so horrid at the beginning I had a hard time with her redemption. The big gesture at the end was utterly ridiculous, but the romantic in me went awwwww anyway! 2mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy if it makes you happy that's what matters. Sounds like a fun movie. 2mo

peanutnine @CaramelLunacy yes Margaret was an unexpectedly delightful character! 2mo

#PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow

Watched these two adaptations over the last two evenings and I truly love both. I had forgotten Anna Madeley (Mrs. Hall of All Creatures Great & Small) was Miss Lucy Steele. Maybe the 2008 3 episode series has a slight edge since it has more content than 1995 film.

Crinoline_Laphroaig Ooooh Mrs Hall! 2mo

I spent this afternoon working on my reading journal and watching the Sense and Sensibility movie. I've always loved this adaptation. I feel that it highlights all the best parts and portrays all the relationships even better than the book 😅

Crinoline_Laphroaig That was fun! My favorite scenes are Margaret and the map, Fanny nose pinching Lucy, and Elinor standing up for herself. And the ending. Best Plot Twist EVER! 3mo
