repost for @Crinoline_Laphroaig:
12/16/2025 is 250 Anniversary of Jane Austen's Birth. I wanted to do something special for #JaneAdjacent Book Club.
Thought to harken back to beginnings of Pemberlittens when @sprainedbrain brought us together to read Jane Austen.
One month will read Original. Next you choose a retelling, graphic novel, or watch a movie. Tag @Crinoline_Laphroaig #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow so we can find your posts.

On Monday evening, I watched the fabulous improv play Austentatious, inspired by a Jane Austen novel. Hilarious!

Happy Pride and Prejudice Day!!! Published On This Day 210 years ago.
My stack is a little shorter this year. But most all of then are gifts from #PemberLittens and that makes my heart happy. 💙💙💙💙💙

Oh my Dear #PemberLittens I am overwhelmed by the kindness you have shown me to help rebuild my Library after the House Fire. This is bring me such joy.
I've tucked notes Amazon sent with everyone's messages in the gift they sent. All of these mean so much more to me because they we're sent with love. My originals I just bought. 😊
Thank you #PemberLittens!!!
I've received a whole bunch of lovely gifts from my Wish List. You are so wonderful! Promise to get a picture taken soon! (Room where my Bookcase is a mess.)
So many #PemberLittens have reached out with kind words. Normally I'm very much a 'It's fine I can take care of it myself' sort of person. But after the fire I decided if someone offered me kindness I would accept. It's makes both me and the giver feel better.
Several have asked me for a Wish List for my Library. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LNB6H5OZCVBS/?ref_=lol_ov_le
Thank you!!! Happy New Year!!!
It's a start #PemberLittens‼️😍
@Graciouswarriorprincess lived up to her name. She sent me this beautiful Boxed set of Austen.
Friends from Books and Brews Club left a basket on my nephew's front porch right after the fire. It had 3 Paperback Jane Austen's, book mark, fuzzy blanket and a bottle of Lagavulin Single Malt Scotch. Husband said 'I don't know who that's from but they obviously know you.'
Looking at this makes me so happy.
Day 20: #Novels
Well, that was easy. 😉

How beautiful 🤩 is this Jane Austen tea towel ! Gifted to me from a bookclub buddy who recently visited Winchester cathedral where She‘s buried . What great works could she have gone on to do
Jane Austen was born December 16, 1775… and thank goodness for that. ❤️
I‘m going to celebrate by continuing my #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice. Tonight is episode 4 (for the third time this month lol), so Darcy‘s letter/Darcy sans cravat AND a visit to Pemberley/wet Darcy.😍 I do hope Lizzie‘s family is in good health. 😂
#Pemberlittens
So I‘ve been thinking about getting the band back together… I miss #PemberLittens!
We finished the 6 novels (and it was a fantastic 18 months for me), but I know some have said they would like to continue in some way, so I‘ve created yet another form for those interested to share their thoughts.
https://forms.gle/TTrcBmKdpvrPHV9S8
Open to anyone, former participant in the group or not. There‘s even a question about (gasp!) other authors!
A list of repeating names in Jane Austen!
#PemberLittens @sprainedbrain
And just because I can, I rearranged my Chilterns in order of mostest favorite ever to least favorite (left to right). I used to say Persuasion and P&P were tied for first, but upon reread, Anne & Wentworth have edged out Lizzie & Darcy by a hair. 😉❤️
#PemberLittens
I need to catch up on posting. My sister & I went to a Jane Austen Festival last Sunday in Louisville, Ky. We didn‘t know about it until this year. It was small but a lot of fun. If they still have it next year, we think we will do a costume. #pemberlittens
I see themed Bookclub meet-ups in my future..! 🤣

I've turned into an Austen heroine with weak ankles. Took a bit of a tumble while out walking on Sat. Scraped my knee as well but I was back to it this morning.🚶♀️
❓ Was curious to read this Ch w/ Emma's sister. In new movie she is portrayed as a hypochondriac like her father & I didn't remember that.
And Mr. K such a sweetheart. Willing to let visitors stay Hartfield for sake of Mr. W.😍

Dove right in with the first book, Sense & Sensibility. I‘m so excited about this collection from #audibleoriginals. What a treat!
I‘ve only ever read pride and prejudice. 😬 time@to listen to the rest!
pickI love this little clothbound collection from Arcturus so much! We have books all over our house, but the only ones that have a permanent place at my bedside table are these. #athomewithjane #austeninaugust
A day late in opening, but l received a wonderful box of goodies from @ferskner for the #JaneAustenSwap 🎁. The soap and candle made the box smell so good after I opened it and I'm looking forward to reading and using all the gifts you provided. I've never had Marabou either but I'm always up for trying something new that had chocolate in it. Thanks so much for your generosity!! ❤️📚❤️
@mabell @sprainedbrain
@JenlovesJT47 its heeeerrrreeeee
Can't wait till Friday to open it!!
@mabell @sprainedbrain #janeaustenswap
@slightlyfoxed - Your box is all packed up and on its way! May 28th delivery is what I was told :)
#JaneAustenSwap
@sprainedbrain @mabell
@OriginalCyn620 I received your package (I missed your very discreet typed JAS, lol). The box has been hidden now until the 1st. Lovely wrapping!! I have all your goodies, but I need to wrap them (my wrapping talents are not as good as yours!) and drop on at UPS on Friday. I‘ll give you on update on delivery date when I drop it off. #JaneAustenSwap
I purchased this boxed set at the Jane Austen museum in Bath. The books are even illustrated. #blue #readingresolutions
Another look at my first attempt at book charms. They‘re not perfect, but I‘m happy with them for my first try. 😊 I think I want to do a couple more thin coats of Mod Podge though, just for durability. #AudioCrafting #BookishCrafts
Since some of you wanted to see the finished product, here is the result of my #AudioCrafting today. My first attempt at book charms. I thought I would start with Jane Austen since I‘m sending a few to a friend who‘s a big Jane Austen fan. Top row is the front, bottom row is the back. One more picture still to come... 😊📚
My absolute favorite of this year's #BookishGifts! I love these beautiful cloth-bound editions- a lovely size and so pretty! #luckygirl #SeasonsReadings2017 #JaneAusten
There are some great quotes in here. 💗📚

I‘m sure I‘ll rearrange several more times, but here‘s my first attempt. The new bookshelf almost fits our whole collection of Barnes & Noble leather bound classics. 😊 #Shelfie
How freaking adorable is this Jane Austen stationary set from Think Geek!? 😍 http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/kgpv/?cpg=fb&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=soc...
One of my favorite Jane Austen collections from Gray and Gold Publishing. ❤️
#17booklove Day 25 - #classiclove
A belated shot from this morning's B&N visit. I've read too few classics.
Possibly my favorite Christmas card one of my authors has ever sent me (okay it was to a few of us but I claimed the card. Therefore it is mine.) 💜
Happy Jane Austen Day! 🎉❤️📚 Ms. Austen is the reason I love to read novels, write creatively, and compare all men to Fitzwilliam Darcy. 😍
