Kicking off the weekend the best way I know how - another YA adaptation for the #PemberLittens and a strong, cold G&T. Hope everyone has at least a little bit of laziness in front of them! #BooksAndBooze #BooksAndBlooms #JaneAustenThenAndNow

mcctrish You had me at G&T 13h

Completely lovely YA adaptation of Northanger Abbey with perfect gothic parallels and a sweetly real young love story for our two leading lads. I don't always love a graphic novel but this one captured me, and while it deals with more serious themes than the original (homophobia, racism, poverty, illness), it still feels like an A+ successor to Austen's novel. I have a feeling I'll be coming back to this one. #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow

Midnight in Austenland | Shannon Hale

I had the same problem with this as the first book, which is that the whole Austenland experience seems to be a real drag. I skimmed ahead some and am not sorry I bailed.

I was able to snag this P&P retelling for free before the price went up. Thanks #BookBub!

Looks super cute - how Austen got “inspiration” for her Pride and Prejudice novel.

#Pemberlittens another one for Northanger Abbey Now. It's Henry and Catherine's daughter and Elizabeth and Darcys son solving crime. I need to read my ARC before June 17 release.

1. My 4th read
2. The Tilney siblings
3./ 4. I love when Austen is defending the reading of novels & making fun of people who don‘t read them, chap 5 & 7
5. Dance, at least I have a chance of surviving that
6. Snooping
7. SIL
8. That‘s hard since there‘s more people I wouldn‘t want to invite. Getting an invite: the Tilney siblings & Catherine. Not getting an invite: Mrs Allen - all the talk about muslins. Mrs Thorpe. Mr Thorpe - such a brute

AnneCecilie 9. The more I read Austen, the more I notice her snark. Or maybe it‘s just me getting older, and not seeing everything through rose colored glasses like a teenager. #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig 2w
Bookwormjillk @AnneCecilie I agree about the humor. It gets better with age 😀 2w

Another winner from Austen

I particularly like the defense of reading the novel and all the literary references.

Some neighbors of the Morland‘s ask if Catherine would like to join them in Bath. Off course she does, and in the beginning it‘s boring since they don‘t know anyone. The. Catherine is introduced to Isabella and later to Henry and suddenly it‘s not so boring anymore

#Pemberlittens my final quote: "I leave it to be settled by whomsoever it may concern, whether the tendency of this work be altogether to recommend parental tyranny, or reward filial disobedience." FINIS

It's been an absolute joy to reread Northanger Abbey. I love Chapter a Day Readalongs because you savour a story. I always discover something new. Answers in comments.

Crinoline_Laphroaig 1️⃣ According to Goodreads, this is my 6th time reading since 2017. I'm sure I've read it more than that. I love it every time. Mostly I read print. Few chapters of audio. Juliet Stevenson does a wonderful job.

2️⃣ My love of Henry Tilney is well documented.

3️⃣ Henry coming to make sure Catherine is okay and propose. And of course the Garden Tour. I do love a garden tour. 👇
2w
Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” See 3rd picture for proof of my love.

5️⃣ Technically I should have made this a curricle. Take the ride, get carriage sick and throw up on Dude Bro Thorpe. Perhaps this will end his affections.

6️⃣ Snooping! Henry will forgive me. 👇
2w
Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ In this instance since Fred is the heir, that would mean that Isabella would have power over me. So give her to James. The fool deserves her for bullying Catherine.

8️⃣ I'll be having a nice pleasant tea at Woodston with Eleanor, Catherine, and Henry. We will talk books. I'll try not to sigh every time Henry speaks. 👇

Crinoline_Laphroaig 9️⃣ I love how the Instagram NA Group Chat came up with fun names.
Pick Me Princess Isabella
Dude Bro John Thorpe
The Fool - James Moreland
And General Stinky - Tilney

Can you just imagine 20 years on, Catherine getting a silly idea, and Henry saying ‘Remember that time you thought my father murdered my mother? 😆

June reading is gonna keep me busy this time around! In addition to keeping up with the #PemberLittens, I'm really excited to start The Summer Book for #MidsummerSolace and to finally be kicking off the tagged chunkster with the #KLBR. I've never read Undset's classic series but have been eyeing it for years. So LFG!
