#Pemberlittens it's almost time! I'm going to aim for 2 Chapters a Day. I quickly made a schedule just in case I get behind or if I'm reading edition with Volume/Chapter numberings.
Tag me and use #JaneAustenThenAndNow so everyone can find your posts. 📖
Ruh-roh! What say you, #PemberLittens? Is it truly time for another S&S? I have so many questions! Will they show us a Willoughby/Brandon duel? Am I wrong to wish for a scene of Robert self-importantly shopping for a toothpick case? And most importantly, will we get an Edward Ferrars who is a true mopey sadsack, as God and Jane Austen intended?? 😜 Link to article in the comments. #JaneAustenThenAndNow
so-soA slight little book, but enjoyable, giving an overview of the flowers, trees, fruits, and other natural elements mentioned in Jane's works, from the strawberries picked at Donwell to the trees which bear Marianne's beloved dead leaves to the hyacinth that Catherine Morland learns to love. The illustrations are sweet but simple, and so is the narrative- not much depth, but enough to whet the appetite if you wanted to learn more.
I believe all the other #PemberLittens must have snagged this amazing Jane Austen book scene, because it doesn‘t show up even if the cart has over $150! I‘ll be sure to check my local Bricks & MiniFigs store to get a set! #LEGO
so-so#Pemberlittens I had issues with how Jonathan's dad the ORIGINAL Mr Darcy was portrayed. Because of that I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads. My full slightly spoilery Review in comments. 🎩

pickThis was a fun graphic novel of Northanger Abbey.
Mid-month check in. Read any good Northanger Abbey retellings? Anything you've hated?

Back on this book's bullshit, and this time it's making connections between unwanted or dangerous pregnancies and Northanger Abbey. Get this - what if Mrs. Tilney had been pregnant and died while miscarrying?? What if scenes of Catherine in her nightclothes were meant to be erotic reminders of female sexuality? What if Cath fiddling with the cabinet (heart fluttering, knees trembling) was a reference to masturbation? 😂 Never change, Helena Kelly.
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
pickCompletely 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
