Today is not my day, I've been sicker than I have in over 2 years, had to cancel my dentist appointment, missed out on tickets for Star Wars concert next week, oh and I passed it on to my child 😫. Just wanted to update and say my #LMPBC books will be going out late im sorry @LiteraryinLawrence @MeganAnn

LiteraryinLawrence Oh no!! Don‘t worry about the book at all, please! We‘ll all get to read it at some point and it‘s no big deal if it‘s late. Just focus on healing! 💗 3w

Chrissyreadit Hope you feel better soon! 3w

MeganAnn No worries! I hope you‘re starting to feel better! Focus on you and your family first. 💖 2w

Pride and Proposals: A Pride and Prejudice Variation | Victoria Kincaid

#200PnPCovers @CrowCAH @mabell In #Pride & #Prejudice, Mrs.Bennet is desperate to receive #proposals from #rich men for all the Bennet #siblings, so much so that she risks Jane‘s health by making her go to #tea at Netherfield Park in the rain, hoping her #sickness will catch her a husband. Lydia and Kitty hope to catch the attention of the #soldiers stationed in Meryton, so they often #travel on #walks to meet them. (I think I got each prompt in!)

Bad Science: Quacks, Hacks, and Big Pharma Flacks | Ben Goldacre

Not an entire book on #Angola, but I'm counting it as I learnt the above fact. #ReadingAfrica2022 @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

Bad Science tells the reader a lot about how you should treat all claims about scientific studies about new drugs treating #sickness with a grain of salt, as results are bound to be skewered towards a positive outcome. #200pnpcovers @CrowCAH @mabell

Mr. Woodhouse‘s preoccupation with #sickness is how I first learned the word valetudinarian. No gruel for me, thanks! 😂

BookBabe Ha! Great word. 😄👌🏻 2mo

MaureenMc Upon my most recent reading, Mr. Woodhouse struck me as an early keto devotee, with his love for eggs and horror at cake. 😁 2mo

rubyslippersreads @MaureenMc A man ahead of his time. 😂 2mo

Pride and Prejudice | Austen

(This one isn't in the system)

On his way to see the new estate that his friend has leased, Darcy is thrown from his horse and knocked unconscious. Someone finds him and takes him to the closest house, and despite the fact that the Bennets have no idea who this man is, they agree to shelter him while he recovers from his head injury. The doctor tells them that it is unknown whether people in this condition are aware of their surroundings, but ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) some people believe it is beneficial for patients like this to be talked to as thought they were awake. And so most of this book involves Darcy actually being in a coma, listening to the Bennet household (at this point, a group of strangers he's never met) operating around him. It's an interesting story because Darcy does obviously have a great deal of time for self-reflection, and finds himself reassessing some of his preconceived ideas⬇ 2mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) and beliefs. However, we only ever get Darcy's (third person) POV, so the story feels strangely passive in many ways, since their isn't a lot of action. I think the book would have greatly benefitted from Elizabeth's POV as well, especially since the way the book is written, we only see Darcy changing his views - apparently Elizabeth is already perfect and doesn't need to change anything about herself. To me, one of the great strengths ⬇ 2mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) of the original story is BOTH Darcy and Elizabeth recognizing their shortcomings, so it always low-key annoys me when variations act like Elizabeth is already a perfect goddess rather than a fallible human. Still, this is a unique and entertaining concept and I overall enjoyed it.

(I keep forgetting to mention which prompt each book represents! This one is for #sickness ) (edited) 2mo

CrowCAH I like your review of the books. Definitely helps inform my decision to add it to the TBR or not. You bring up a great point about BOTH E and D changing in the original. I will make sure that happens in my pirate P&P retelling. 2mo

TheAromaofBooks @CrowCAH - Thank you!! Most of these are just “silly“ Kindle Unlimited reads, but I just so thoroughly enjoy going on a P&P binge sometimes - it's actually one of my favorite things to do when I'm in a bit of a reading slump!! 2mo

CrowCAH Oh wow, very true to life with Jane being ill. 2mo
