Welcome to Litsy!

Have any of my fellow #Pemberlittens watched this show? I had such high hopes because Hugh Bonneville plays Mr. Bennett, but the rest of the acting was painful to watch! ☹️ I‘m contenting myself with rewatching his performance in Downton instead. (Also pretty sure the show has nothing to do with the tagged book by the same name, but an Austen choose your own adventure has got to be either the best thing ever or the worst thing ever!)

I‘m sure one could experience #Hysterics taking adventures in this book. Choose your own adventures for Jane Austen fans - who will you end up with at the end? Choose wisely, or there may be a Wickham or a Willoughby in your future… #200PnPCovers

#BookBeginsWithLost #NewBeginnings

A fun “chose your own adventure” style book set with Austen characters.

So last night was the first watch party of this miniseries, and my first time watching it... SO FUN! I‘m actually looking forward to seeing it again tomorrow at 1 pm Central US time! 😉

Invites have been emailed to everyone who has signed up. Still time to join us if you want to!

#PemberLittens

Zoom invites have been sent to everyone signed up for our first Lost in Austen watch party, tomorrow at 6 pm Central US time.

As always, this is open to everyone: let me know if you want to join us!

#PemberLittens

#pemberlittens. I have this mini series, four episodes. @sprainedbrain thoughts?

I re-read this choose-your-own-adventure book for #PemberLittens. I got to meet Emma Woodhouse this time around! My favorite ending, though, had me getting shot by Lady Catherine during a duel between Mr. Darcy and Col. Fitzwilliam. 🤣

Then you might like this chose your own adventure set in the world of Jane Austen‘s six novels!

Has anyone ordered from Thrift Books and not been happy? This book arrived with this on the back cover. I am going to email them about it. 😢

I read the eversion of this book. And while I thought I was going to really enjoy it, it ended up being kinda meh for me. I got tired of keeping score and found it created too many interruptions in the story. I, that is my character, broke my neck and died pretty early on, so I tried alternative paths. I ended up with 3 other conclusions and called it a day. 2.5/5⭐️

I love Austen. I loved choose-your-own-adventure books as a kid. I did not like this book.

I found myself always choosing to do what Elizabeth did in P&P. Because I want to marry Mr. Darcy in the same way she did. Duh. After I finished, I realized I should have just reread P&P, or watched the movie.

So, I went back and tried some other paths, which I didn‘t like because I WANT TO MARRY DARCY.

Gave up on the silly scoring pretty early.😂

This was a fun choose your own adventure romp through Austenland! You set out in the role of Elizabeth Bennett, with a mission to marry for love, avoiding family scandal along the way. I killed Mr. Collins, found myself at Northanger Abbey, and was killed by Miss Bingley before finding my way to Mr. Darcy and wedded bliss.

#pop19 : CYOA

Enjoying some tea while dear daughter scrambled to get out the door and to her bus stop on time. I refuse to help on days she doesn‘t get out of bed with her alarm.

To her credit, she didn‘t get mad at my nonchalance. 😂 #toughlove

This choose your own adventure book is fun!

If you loved Choose Your Own Adventure books as much as I did as a kid and adore Austen, this might just be up our alley. It‘s good, silly fun. You can choose to keep score or not, it‘s flexible that way. There are so many endings and I tried to get to them all but I may have missed a few. Most end, amusingly, in death or unhappy marriages but there‘s one where you get Darcy.

I took the wrong path on the way to Netherfield (pg 11) and my adventure was over. After that I tried to start over but pretty much lost heart. That and I was reading in bed and didn't want to get up and get pen and paper to count points.

#AustenInAugust #FavoriteHeroine

(I‘m playing catch-up)

Elizabeth Bennet, because she‘s feisty, intuitive, knows her mind, but needs a little nudge (aka a trip to Pemberley) to finally realize to whom her feelings truly lie.

My current #AtHomeWithJane situation. 😃

#AustenInAugust

Ok one more and I will stop for the night. 😳

I can‘t pass up an Austen-related photo challenge, so I‘m adding these 3 Austenesque books to my August #TBR.

I‘m excited about this challenge, @Crinoline_Laphroaig ❤️

#AustenInAugust

Here's My Stack: Emma is this year's classic. Jane at Home has been on my Want List. Fortuitously, Audible put on sale a few days ago. Lost in Austen is doing double duty as part of my Goodreads Summer Reading Challenge. Flirting w/ P & P and Undressing Mr. Darcy are from my #mounttbr. Both have dismal ratings & will probably move from #allthingsausten collection to donate pile. Can't Wait To See Your Stacks. 📚 #tbr #austeninaugust

I managed to get captured by Fanny Price, be called stupid for all sorts of things, die, be attached by Gypsys, fail and fail and fail and I laughed through all of it! Seriously a fun book

1. Between goodreads, my planner and Now Litsy, in that order lol
2. I don't have a preference, I read them all
3. Up until now, I didn't realize Litsy was going to be offline lol so I think I'm good! I'll mark it on my planner just in case
4. I'm gonna tag #grouph of my #LMPBC so @Jerdencon @Blaire @Wannabe_Quijote

#trivialthursday @GarthRanzz

#ReadingResolutions #bookishtotes Besides my Book of the Month tote bag, these two from Powell's Books (picked up with other bookish swag on last years' trip to Oregon) are my only bookish tote bags. Clearly an area I am deficient in.😆📚👜(Excuse the recycled photo, I am both busy and lazy today!)

💋 #150pnpcoverparty #empirewaist #janeausten

One of my favorite covers with the pale colors! #🎨 i also love the rough sketch design of this!
#emojinov

Okay I don‘t have any western type books for #emojinov 🤠 I‘m going with top hats!

I‘ve seen some good ones today though!

The rest of the family's off to the high school football game, and I have the whole house to myself. Time for some popcorn, a movie, and a root bear float. Oh, a quiet house!

I've meant to watch this for a while now. Is it worth a viewing? #FreeSpace #AwesomeAusten

#ElizabethBennett #awesomeausten

@Lacythebookworm it arrived! Thank you! Going to get lost in it and then send it to my fellow Austen-obsessed cousin. Thanks for helping me find another way to connect to my far away people! 💜 #blinddatewithabook3

This book is SO fun, especially for Austen/Regency fans. You play as Elizabeth Bennett and make choices and answer questions which can result in adding it losing points in fortune, intelligence, and confidence. You can also gain or lose accomplishments, failings, and superior or inferior connections. Purchased this on a whim from Second Read Books on my vacation and so glad I did! #chooseyourownadventure #austen

I am fighting a headache this evening so no reading and my only post but have a couple of things to post tomorrow. So, I am watching one of my favorites. Has anyone watched this series? I just love the modern remake.

#feistyfeb #fanfic #homage This book is so much fun. You get to be Elizabeth Bennet, and depending on the choices you make, end up in any of Jane Austen's books. You also score points in five categories: accomplishments, intelligence, confidence, connections, and fortune. #janeausten #chooseyourownadventure

Your are Elizabeth Bennet, a tolerable beauty with moderate accomplishments, on a mission to marry prudently and for love. With wit and common sense you must navigate the world of Jane Austen (all your fave characters and locations are here!) while avoiding scandals and suitors with less than noble intentions.
One wrong choice could bring shame to your family, but the right choices will bring you to your happily ever after.

Pride and Prejudice! 😁❤️

Down the rabbit hole of the Create Your Own Jane Austen Adventure.
I have failed twice on my mission to marry both prudently and for love; the first time derailed by becoming prisoner to Fanny Price; the second time Emma Woodhouse ditches me and I'm stuck with Mr. Elton who is trampled to death by my father's horses and am blamed by the general public, tried, and wrongfully imprisoned for killing a man of the cloth.
Tragic.

A choose your own Jane Austen adventure??!! Don't mind if I do! 🤗

New library pick 📚❤️

#bookishgifts Can't wait to see what Austen plots I end up in! #seasonsreadings2016

I treated myself to these four books, finally using up my e-book settlement money. They've been sitting in their box unopened for about a month or two now. I don't know why I tortured myself that way. Maybe in case I didn't get any books for Christmas, I would at least have these to open. But I did get books. Many books, and now I have these too! Yay!

Lost in Austen is a fun adaptation that I don't think gets enough love. Jemima Rooper gets thrown into the world of Pride & Prejudice. #favejaneaustenadaptation #seasonsreadings2016

These count as adaptations, right?

#favejaneaustenadaptation #seasonsreadings2016

An absolute must for any lover of Victorian or Regency literature (particularly Austen). Supremely fun!
