#LittensLoveRomance Ch.9: he brings her breakfast in bed - swoon! And getting her quote tattooed on him - I love it.

Ch.10: yeah they‘re not just friends. Hello? So cute that Em things that.

Ch.11: Em is finally starting to be happy and that scares her. This thing with O‘Connell scares her but he‘s wearing her down, for sure. I‘m pulling for him!

#Pemberlittens Ch.3 - I found this chapter fascinating- I loved learning more about the social hierarchy- which was so very important in society. I liked learning about the different people who made names for themselves. I found the sections on the poorest members of society difficult to read - especially about the children. I think that‘s why Austen and other writers of regency romance tend to avoid mentioning that part. 👇

#LittensLoveRomance: sorry for the late post, I fell asleep way too early yesterday! Ch.6: aw I want to cry. O‘Connell is clearly mad that she came to the party without him when he invited her. Now I‘m not saying what he did was right but I‘m nearly teary eyed for them both. Don‘t you just love young love and misunderstandings? 👇

#Pemberlittens Ch.2: sorry for the late post - I fell asleep at 7 last night! This chapter was interesting but also a bit boring - I wished there were pictures throughout of the different buildings that were described. The main thought I had was if I lived back then it sure would be better to have money. Also, if you were a good architect and were able to make a name for yourself you were set.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.3: I really feel for Emily. Her social awkwardness is so honestly come by. I look forward to seeing the new people in her life breaking through her walls. I think working at the gym will be really good for her. ⬇️

#Pemberlittens Ch.1: Sorry…I‘m still trying to shake that description of how poor people lived in Liverpool. What an eye opening chapter! I always thought old-timey Britain was idyllic but the industrial revolution brought about a lot of difficulties and environmental destruction. It was great for rich people but I feel terrible for those who were trying to eke out a living only to have to return to a slum. What a miserable life!

#LittensLoveRomance Prologue and Ch.1. We meet Emily who‘s had a rough go of it and has escaped an abusive home to go to university. She is working as a waitress to make ends meet. Emily is really good at math and is hoping to make a future for herself. She meets Nikki at school who seems fun. ⬇️

#Pemberlittens Ch.20: I‘m left a bit in limbo - half satisfied and half unsatisfied at this ending. I feel sad that they‘ve lost where they came from - but on the other hand maybe their world wasn‘t so great. I wish we had learned more about it. I wish there had been an epilogue - set a few years later to tell us how they are doing living their alt-lives. 👇

#Pemberlittens Ch.19: Rachel is reunited with Liam and all seems to be well. Except that Liam proposes that they stay in that time - considering they‘ve altered history enough that they don‘t know what they will be returning too, it‘s not a terrible idea. He wants to marry. He admits to loving Rachel for a long time. But will she admit her feelings for him? Yes - after nursing him through typhus (that he got from lice - gross) 👇

#Pemberlittens Ch.18 well “the 💩 hath hitteth the fan-eth”- to borrow a quote from 10 Things I Hate About You. In a world where your connections mean everything, to be found out as fraudulent liars - or even to have doubts cast on your honour - can collapse everything you‘ve spent time building 👇

#Pemberlittens Ch.17: so Liam must have a better way of spinning a tale because Jane takes his word and seems totally fine with it. When Rachel alludes to Jane‘s early death, Jane wants to go back with them. I wonder how that would go over and if it‘s even possible. I also wonder if Jane has too much iron in her blood. I think that‘s one reason bleeding her might help.

#Pemberlittens Ch.16: so Jane is quite Ill- to the point where Rachel worries she‘ll die earlier than she should. As she nurses Jane, she sometimes drugs her with laudanum. It is during these moments that Rachel makes progress in her mission and steals some letters between Jane and Cassandra. But she‘s caught one day and like the good little spy she is, she reveals practically everything 🤦‍♀️. 👇 cont.

#Pemberlittens Ch.15: Liam admits to having strong feelings for Rachel, enough that he wants to end his engagement. Does she feel the same or for her is it just lust? It‘s hard to tell even though she is telling the story. Jane falls quite ill and Rachel, despite the danger of being caught as the real doctor, tends to her. Jane and her sister must suspect even more that something is up with their new friends.

#Pemberlittens Ch.14: Oh Rachel and Liam. For shame. You‘re walking a tight rope. Already at risk of being caught for multiple offences, and now you throw romance into the mix! When really you should be concentrating on doing your mission and getting ready to head back home. At least Rachel sort of got a bit closer through her conversation with Jane. Although I do think Jane suspects something is off with her. Tsk tsk I‘m shaking my head.

#Pemberlittens Ch.13: the main thing I couldn‘t stop thinking about is that they lost Qb000! And Rachel still has to pretend to be engaged. Henry‘s fine - he thinks he‘s about to marry a rich heiress. But I feel bad for Liam going along with Rachel‘s plan. It‘s his money too, and it was lost in a matter of days. Here‘s hoping they can actually make it home…being poor in the 1800s was no joke. Even if Rachel finds farming peaceful.

#Pemberlittens Ch.12: Oh Rachel, now you‘ve gone and done it. You‘ve entered into a secret engagement with Henry(And we all know that those end well) - And you‘re planning to donate a bunch of money to his failing bank. Good plan. Ugh - I just have a feeling this isn‘t going to end well.

#Pemberlittens Ch.11: had issues trying to post yesterday (tags weren‘t working and the post published twice) - here‘s hoping things work better today! So…is it just me or are things just super awkward between Liam and Rachel? I‘m not shipping them at all! Rachel needs to get her head in the game and stop acting juvenile. Okay, that may seem harsh, but there are big things at stake, aren‘t there? I‘m finding it hard to like her. Anyone else?

#Pemberlittens Ch.10: well, that was awkward! Henry proposes…and what an…icky?…proposal. Now Rachel has to decide how long to lead this poor sap on. Although I do think a big part of his interest lies in her money. How could it not? And that conversation with Liam was confusing to say the least. Do they like each other? Is he telling her not to marry or sleep with Henry? I think the two of them need to focus on the task at hand and avoid feelings.

#Pemberlittens Ch.9: Rachel saves Jane‘s niece from choking. Consequently she and Liam are invited to Chawton House and will be able to be close to Jane when she returns home. This is great! Except Rachel starts worrying that they‘ve altered history. She also saved Tom…will the future as they know it be the same? Tricky to think about - as with all time travel stories. Also, Rachel is attracted to Liam, but is being pursued by Henry🤷‍♀️😵‍💫🤔

#Pemberlittens Ch.8: This chapter further explores the dynamics between the Austen siblings and their reactions to having Liam and Rachel insert themselves into their lives. Cassandra seems a tough nut to crack. This whole thing seems as though it will be impossible to get close to Jane‘s letters and manuscripts. Also, Rachel is still trying to figure Liam out.

#Pemberlittens Ch.7: confession-I have a morbid fascination with the history of medicine and how horrible some treatments used to be. The fact that Henry, who is using mercury and bloodletting to cure his illness, actually gets better, is so interesting. And Rachel having to ask people to wash their hands - if I time travelled I‘d be such a germaphobe I think. Anyway, in this chapter the main takeaway is they are slowly getting closer to Jane.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.25: everyone has dinner and plays nice. You‘d think after centuries of war there would be more animosity? And Leo overheard Sylvia say she loves him and she‘s dying soon.

Ch.26: Sylvia is taken by the demons who somehow broke through the spell guarding the clearing. I wonder if a witch is working with them. The covens gather and follow the demons through a portal, and quickly fall into a trap. 👇

#Pemberlittens Ch.6: Rachel fears Jane doesn‘t like her - and she‘s probably right - but that‘s ok because it seems as though Henry does. And Rachel is finding that she is attracted to Henry as well. Liam flirts with Jane - as well as Liam can flirt at least. He‘s probably more capable than Rachel gives him credit for. He got her talking at least.

#Pemberlittens Ch.5 Rachel is feeling stifled at being a woman in such a restrictive time, & especially a doctor. She feels helpless, like her hands are tied. In a surprising turn of events, Liam takes her to see Henry at an inappropriate time of day & when he is sick. surprisingly-instead of turning them away-he brings JANE to meet them! I‘m not quite sure if Rachel passed her test or answered her questions correctly. Still, contact has been made

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.21: the training begins with the primary goal to protect the witches. We get the strong impression that something bad will happen to Silvia soon.

Ch.22: nothing much is happening. Leo and Auggie love each other and never want to be apart. But we knew that already. 🥱 👇

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.17: Merfolk and Dragons and Reapers - oh my! Eaton Falls is getting crowded and they‘re all coming together to fight the demon threat. Leo‘s trying to convince Auggie to turn him - good luck Leo. Presley is coming back - good luck Beto. 👇

#Pemberlittens Ch.4: their dinner is a success, but a great cause of stress to everyone. Henry acts a bit odd and then disappears afterwards and politeness (which dictates everything) says they cannot go visit him. They must wait. While they do, they hire more servants and find they now have absolutely no privacy in the home. Is anyone else worried about Jenks and what he might do?

#LittensloveRomance Ch.13: With Presley‘s help, Leo makes a tea so that when he and Auggie get together no one will know. He even casts a spell to make Presley forget he helped make the tea. Then well…things get intense. Their feelings are so big after mere days. How will they both handle that?

#Pemberlittens Ch.3: Rachel and Liam go to dinner at Henry‘s - and he mentions the possibility of Rachel meeting Jane! That‘s exactly what the goal was so well done. It must be so nerve wracking to have to watch everything you say and watch your accent and mannerisms. 👇
