Lately I've been watching a lot of Jane Austen movies/mini series. I've now seen 4 versions of Persuasion, 2 of Sense and Sensibility, 2 of Emma and 3 of Pride and Prejudice. (I am including the zombie version which was more entertaining than I expected.) So when I saw this at goodwill the other day it seemed meant to be. It went immediately on my read now pile. Who else out there loves Jane Austen?

This is one of those books that linger in your mind even when you‘re away. Trisha is a hard, high powered surgeon who makes a snobby fool of herself when she meets DJ, a chef with magic hands that know how to play with your taste buds. Of course, fate will throw them together over and over. But, the story also explores family loyalty and how it might influence your decisions in life. Thank you @FeatherV !

iread2much I love this series! 😊 1d

I‘m so fickle. I think whichever Austen I‘m reading at the moment always becomes my favorite Austen all over again, until I pick up another 😂

AmyG Lovely book. 6d
IndoorDame @AmyG I love used books! Most boring cover ever, but such a treasure inside. It‘s a 1950s edition. They did a run with about half of the first illustrator‘s watercolor pages. 6d

May 1st 2020 - When #PemberLittens began our first Chapter a Day Readalong. You were a bright spot throughout the Pandemic. Wonderfully supportive after my house fire. I think of you every time I look at my shelf of Jane Austen books you sent me. 💙💙💙💙💙

For April's #SeasonalCozies @julieclair I went back to Hygge Hideaway Book 4. It was kind of repetitive. Book 5 is set in summer so I searched my Audible a discovered Death in English Cottage. I've read the 1st in Series awhile back. Features Location Scout for Jane Austen Movie. It's specifically set in Spring. 🥀

julieclair It seems like the Hygge Hideaway books have not lived up to the promise of their lovely covers. 🫤 But a cozy based on location scouting for a Jane Austen movie? That sounds fabulous! Hope you enjoy! 1w
Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair at least they are short. You can read them in an hour. 😄 1w
julieclair 😂 I love your positivity! 1w

#Pemberlittens its's time for #JaneAdjacent Book Club!
1️⃣ Reread. I originally listened to the audiobook when it first came out. Love that it's narrated by Richard Armitage. Also own a print copy. First Impressions - such a gorgeous cover.
2️⃣ Adam. His mother reminds me of my mother. “You read too much. You read her too much."
3️⃣ Human chain to fill Adam's haycart with books and then drive through town.
⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ "Yet on his loneliest of days, he sometimes felt as if he was being saved by Jane Austen." This was teenage me. I want 'Saved by Jane Austen' on a tshirt.

"Despite her continued and extensive reading, Evie‘s favourite book remained Pride and Prejudice. Almost as a type of test, she had pressed it on her limited social circle..... If they failed to enjoy or— even worse— finish the book, she wrote them off just as dismissively."

Crinoline_Laphroaig “But one can always read Austen.”

5️⃣ "I‘ll take Lizzie over Emma any day.” Lizzie taught me to be an Obstinate Headstrong Girl and that has served me well.⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ For years I took part in #AusteninAusten. While it's no longer official event, I still dedicate every August to Austen. My husband often quips how is August any different than the rest of the year.

I generally reread Pride and Prejudice in my Birthday month of June. When I first started keeping track on @Goodreads I estimated I had read every other year since I was 16. My current read count is 18 times and that's probably on low side.⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ While both have beautiful gardens, The Great House has a Library.

8️⃣ I would live there, put up a Notice 'to apply to the Housekeeper for tours'. I would cosplay Mrs. Reynolds from Pride and Prejudice, give tours, then make up stories about myself.⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 9️⃣ You know that game of what one book would you take on a long journey or want if stranded on a deserted island? My answer is always 'my volume of the Complete Works of Jane Austen'. 🎩📖📚
