Here are the retellings I'm hoping to tackle this month for the #JaneAustenThenAndNow read: spicy S&S in a beach town, an S&S murder mystery, a polarizing modern version, and three YA takes because dang it, I love YA. Authors Rosie Rushton and Staci Hart have adapted all of Austen's novels, and while I've read Rushton's before, Hart's are new to me. We'll see how this goes...! Anyone else out there looking for some S&S-adjacent reads for February?

Andrea313 @eeclayton @Bookwormjillk Did you like the Trollope? Reviews online are mixed so I'm not sure what to expect! And I definitely want to hear @eeclayton 's thoughts on Jane of Austin! I'm curious about it, but too many books and too little time... 11h
bookandbedandtea These all look good! I have one overlap on my list. 11h
Andrea313 @bookandbedandtea Which one will we both be reading? 11h
Crinoline_Laphroaig Oooh. I like this list. Also think S&S lends itself to YA. 11h

Sex, Lies and SensibilityAndrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig Yes, definitely! A roadmap for "coming of age" stories. 10h

eeclayton @Andrea313 I didn't like the Trollope, but I hope it'll work better for you! 6h
Bookwormjillk @Andrea313 I was meh about the Trollope, but I didn‘t read them back to back. I‘m thinking having the original top of mind will improve it. 1h
