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
Well, this is a rather depressing song about a breakup. #JuneSpecial Stormy Weather @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Here are a few favorites in which one of the main characters faces a major change that starts a new chapter in their life
Northanger May is behind us and Northanger Adaptation June is ahead! I'm going for a re-watch of the 2007 film (they get it so right!), a handful of YA versions (the perfect genre for this one, can't deny it) and a book centered on the flowers and plants in Austen's work. Perfect timing as I get my own garden in gear, and who knows - maybe it'll help me learn to love a hyacinth??
Who else has some adaptations to explore this month?
pickI loved the concept of a complete stranger winning billions out of the blue, especially one that was down on her luck. The character development is excellent and I truly cared for Avery, Libby and the Hawthorn brothers. It also displayed conflict between all the teenage dynamics realistically. Plus, how this situation would affect people close to Avery, like Libby and Max. Overall, it was fast paced and I couldn‘t put it down…ready for the 2nd one
pickA fast paced, secret filled, mystery inheritance, billionaire family filled story. Loved it and can‘t wait to read the next one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickSo cute! After a failed one night stand, Alexis, a shy school librarian, enters into a fake dating agreement with Texas gubernatorial candidate Logan, when a suggestive photo of them ends up online. I really liked both characters, and rooted for them!
