This is a request to the UK/GB/England Littens who would have access to the original English version, where the story takes place in England.
My friend @CKBrooke really wants to read them in their original version, meaning not the USA edition which changed location and some other details.
We‘re willing to pay for the UK editions and shipping.
Please, comment if you‘d be able to find and ship these books. Thanks a bunch!

Went to a new Barnes and Noble location near me and saw this book rest, which advertised none other than Pride and Prejudice! It was not inducement enough to purchase said book rest, but tickled me pink to see P&P 🥰

I took the plunge and signed up for premium on Audible. I get TWO month free!
Now I‘m not sure which audiobook to get with my monthly credit.
Any suggestions?
#WondrousWednesday
1. Spoil the ending, less stressful reading that way
2. Meet my favorite author
3. Romance novel, I would want to be always looking over my shoulder and being scared
4. Tough one, I‘ve always wanted to time travel and see history, but they don‘t always have luxuries or running water, so maybe Sci-Fi is the way to go
5. I recently skipped the 1st book and started at the 2nd. But I often don‘t get to the end of a series either.
Started this Jane Austen adaptation for one of the #JaneAustenJuly challenges! A chapter in and it‘s some neat world building with all manor of dragon creatures - big and small!
Are you a SUPER FAN of LITTLE WOMEN?

It‘s a local Michigan author friend who has these dolls and would like them to go to a loving home!
What an emotional tale with lots of life revelations! This was such a great buildup to the main characters realizing their emotions for each other and identifying them. I could empathize on many levels with Dora and her lack of being able to show proper emotions for the situation. And oh my gosh Lord Sorcier is downright handsomely delicious with his heartfelt sympathy! He had me swooning at several instances 🥰

A local MetroDetroit outdoor Shakespeare theatre company is putting on Twelfth Night this month!
🎭
Book Club girls and I will be attending!
I thought we could all get a chuckle out of this! Like we needed any excuse to 📖 with 🍷!!!
Since I have reached 200,000 in Litfluence thanks to all of you, I will be hosting something Jane Austen related this year!
I‘ve held monthly photos challenges, but what about a swap? I‘ll have to research google docs and etc.
So #PemberLittens be on the lookout for more details to come in the future!
This quote struck me, “Waiting is the cruelest thing I have ever endured. Like bereavement, but with no certainty.”
This emotional tale of the many woman who were caught up in the Greek Trojan war over Helen “who‘s face launched a thousand ships” was a neat way to frame many of the stories we already know: The Odyssey, the Iliad, and others. The author gave voice to those who don‘t in a war - the women who become slaves of the victors.
An interesting text that deals little with the actual picture itself and more on the psychology of the human lust for pleasure without conscious.
I can‘t wait to discuss the book at club next week.
While shopping at #target I came across this book! What caught my eye was Sanderson‘s name. Come to find out this is in the larger universe of The Stormlight Archive series! I guess this was a kickstarter campaign for him.
In my MoonLite app I have The Lion Story!
My favorite Disney animated film 🦁👑
Today it turns 30 years old!!!

I‘m behind in watching Bridgerton (still need to watch season 2 before 3), but I couldn‘t resist putting my face in their AI generated portraits. I felt like of them all, this one most closely resembles me.
