Welcome to Litsy!

I'm SO excited to be kicking off the March P&P read with the #PemberLittens! I'm pulling out the Chiltern edition that a friend brought back for me when she visited Chatsworth House; such a lovely gift and a gorgeous edition. Are we all ready for this?! #JaneAustenThenAndNow

These two. 💚🩶💚

Rereading it this winter, and falling in love with Mr. Darcy all over again.

#FeelinTheLove #FavoriteLiteraryLove why Mr Darcy of course ! Brought to life on screen by Colin Firth ! 😁🥰

Getting my #AlwaysFullyBooked reading planner set up for 2025. Irrationally pleased with my star rating system legend. This is the first year I‘ve used quotes!

Happy birthday Jane!!!

I was due for a reread of my all-time favorite novel!

Book 152 of the year.

Prose that's poetry, IMHO. 😀

#PemberLittens anyone interested in Chapter A Day Readalong of Pride and Prejudice? I usually reread as part of my Birthday Celebrations. I‘m starting June 1st so it will run through end of July.

Low key. No pressure just join in whenever and however works for you. Let me know if you would like to be tag 🎩

I was volunteering at our Pride event today and one of my co-volunteers was wearing this. 😍

It just doesn't get old. It never stops being timeless and iconic. Emma is perhaps sharper, Persuasion more mature, S&S more deeply personal to me...but P&P is the gold standard, the objective best, sparkling, vibrant, emotional, surprising. I just finished it and I already want to read it 50 more times. #PemberLittens

This shirt made me laugh and I think that I need it!

When I saw this sticker, I knew that I needed it for my owala water bottle!

So fun tonight attending the @hallmarkchannel book club discussion of Pride and Prejudice with @hallmarkjennyblog !

The discussions were fantastic and fun. The best part was being able to see the Jane Austen inspired Hallmark movies for #loveuary which start in February!

Amy Colleen asking the important questions! #PemberLittens #AnneOfGreenGables #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead

Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.

Ooh, I‘m so delighted with this adorable, tiny edition of Pride and Prejudice that my parents brought back for me from their fall trip to Portugal! It‘s so cute!!

I know I should love this book. It‘s a classic. But to be honest it really didn‘t hold my attention. I read it for book club at the library or I would have DNF‘d it. I think it was the writing style. Maybe. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This book will forever be a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for me

“You have bewitched me body and soul and I love- I love- I love you. I never want to be parted from you from this day forward.”

(I didn‘t actually check the quote since it‘s practically drilled in my head, so there might be a mistake)

#Pemberlittens I love when I reach this point in the story! Last line of Volume 2, Chapter 19. And then you turn the page to Volume 3, Chapter 1 and to my favorite part of the book.

Reading a copy that has kept the original 3 Volumes and Chapter numbers instead of modernizing to straightforward 61 Chapters really highlights the 3 different parts.

💙💙💙💙💙

Birthday Presents! 3 new copies of Pride and Prejudice. One 1 bought myself. Floral Chiltern edition I bought with Birthday Gift Card. Peacock Cranford edition was a gift from my UK friend Claire. She also sent tea, biscuits, stamps, bookmark, and the cutest little Jane Austen duckie. 🥳

The journey I had through this book was perfectly agreeable and the most fascinating one. I had gone through every emotion through this book. The anticipation, the anger, the blushing. I love this book and don't ask me how much I am controlling myself to not re-read and move on to next book.
This book written in 1800s is still relevant in today's time. There is still a thinking of class, birth and money above all.

My favourite Jane Austen book. ❤️

This made me giggle.
❤️ P&P

NOBODY told me it was coming on this page. Ms. Austen, You have no compassion for my poor nerves 🙂
(In my defence, I was not prepared)

Do you all know about Nerdy Ink? How did I not know about this publisher???!!!! They just popped up in my Insta feed and now I want ALL the special editions! Especially this series of the Austens. Probably a good thing I don‘t have space to actually collect multiple versions of the same volumes or Jane would become an EXTREMELY expensive hobby for me😂🤣

#ThemedThursday
Thanks for the tag @dabbe ! I know I‘m a day late, but even though the first thing that actually came to mind for #Redemption was Bob Marley, I‘m going with P&P because I think it‘s fascinating that our view of the characters gets redeemed even more dramatically than they actually change over the course of the novel.

Ever since our #Pemberlittens #HeiressPride read along I‘ve been wanting to reread P&P, and reading it with my #LitsyLoveBookBuddy was the perfect way to revisit this one. Renee, thank you for heading back to Pemberley with me and chatting about all these characters! #EasterOMC

Jane Austen writes my #FavoriteClassic novels. There are an endless number of stunning editions of her work. Lately I‘ve been seeing these online and am obsessed! I‘d so love to own something from this collection ❤️#MarchMagic @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Thanks for the tag @IndoorDame This was so much harder - too many to choose from. But I narrowed it down to Elizabeth Darcy, Jo March and Betsy Ray. Because I love them!
Who else wants to play? #wonderouswednesday

This is my first completed Jane Austen, and I loved it. Lizzie is great fun to read. Darcy‘s rapid change seemed a bit unbelievable to me, but that did not detract from enjoying it. And it may have been more gradual, except that we did not see him while he was going through it, just the results from Lizzie‘s POV.
Before I had tried reading Emma and dnf as I couldn‘t stand her. What Jane Austen would be good to try next since I loved this one?

Starting my P&P reread today from this #SpecialEdition along with my #LitsyLoveBookBuddy @StayCurious #MarchMagic @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Found this gorgeous copy at a used bookstore today! It only cost $15 and ones on Abe Books are going for 200! Half Priced Books is my best friend.

Happy Birthday, Pride and Prejudice!! 🥳🎂❤️

“He began to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention.”

My sister came over for a visit, which naturally turned into us fangirling over Pride & Prejudice. Which then led to us making this. #boiledpotatoes
"What a superbly featured room and what excellent boiled potatoes. Many years since I have had such an exemplary vegetable."

Because I have to teach it in the spring.
