Welcome to Litsy!

So, full review time. I liked that Mansfield Park was an art emporium and Fanny a burgeoning artist. The death of Sir Thomas was sad but a great motivator for all of the selfish habits of the family to come to light. I suspected the murderer from the beginning but the whole motive wasn't overly obvious either. I enjoyed the slight change in Mary Crawford, to be more sympathetic & trying to gain real friendship with Fanny. The ending was satisfying

Today's theatre experience: Austen's Pride 💖🎶📖
This was such a lovely musical with the best parts of Pride and Prejudice, framed by the narrative of Austen's writing and editing of the story. Funny and sweet and highly enjoyable

#ReadingBracket2025 August Fiction update
These Jane Austen retellings have been a highlight this year

Happy National Read a Book Day! 📖
I'm celebrating with my kindle and a nice view ⛰️

A fun read, and the mystery kept me guessing. I loved that Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy appeared!

My second read of Mansfield Park, definitely worth another read after 15 years. The ending felt a bit rushed and was more recap. But Fanny and Edmund realized they were just right for each other! ❤️

I'm late posting my answers but enjoyed listening to this one again! #JaneAustenThenAndNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig

1. This was my second time reading. It's probably still my least favorite Austen but I did enjoy it much more this time around. I still believe Fanny deserved better than Edmund.

Trying to relax after an awful week. So much so, this is the first book I've picked up in 4 days! Unheard of.

September means it's time for Emma. My print collection is up to 8. It's a busy month for me. Rather than committing to 2 chapters a day, I'm going to read as I can and listen some.

None of my editions are in the Litsy database so I'll need to add. What edition will you be reading?
