Welcome to Litsy!

It‘s a beautiful paperback edition from my boxed set that I bought last weekend. There are SO many editions!!! I can‘t find this one on the list so I‘m just adding this photo.

Do I speak a lick of Spanish? No. Did I let that stop me from buying this beautiful Spanish edition when we were in Argentina? Also no. Maybe this is how I‘ll learn the language!!

Woo hoo!

Thanks for the #Two4Tuesday tag @TheSpineView🤗

1️⃣ I have a little Swedish date book from 1901 that has my dad‘s family birthdays, weddings, babies & deaths recorded in it.

2️⃣ I have to pick my favorite book which will always be relevant to me & I hope to future generations.

One of my favourite bits of last weekends Jane Austen Festival in Bath was the Regency fair! The opportunity to pick up ribbons and notions and bonnets and corsets!

Dancing lessons at the Assembly Rooms ahead of the ball!
Had a fab weekend at the Jane Austen Festival….. thinking this would make a great Reading Retreat!

I spent last weekend in Bath for the Jane Austen Festival - taking notes for next year when a group of friends and I are going to the ball!

1. Several places, including family and good friends.

2. Lizzy had great inner strength. She lived her life on her terms despite societal constraints, and yet, also tried to help her siblings.

One of my favorite P & P covers.

I‘ve always enjoyed classics, but they tend to get a wee boring or confusing during the middle of the novels due to the long sentences and old writing style; however, this book never did that! Jane Austen wrote a masterpiece that captivated me the entire time. The plot was simple yet intriguing and the relationships between the characters were humorous and well-written. I love it!

My souvenir from the Library of Congress gift shop. This just seemed fitting for both me and the moment.

I got this edition in Bath on a trip last year 💙

A comfort reread, never fails to make me smile

Absolute delight as always rereading Pride and Prejudice for the umpteenth time. I'm particularly happy that because I did Chapter A Day with a Facebook friend as well as #PemberLittens, I will have something Pride and Prejudice every day from June 1st to July 31st in my Facebook memories. 🎩

"With the Gardiners, they were always on the most intimate terms. 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." - The End ?

"Will you tell me how long you have loved him?"

"It has been coming on so gradually, that I hardly know when it began. But I believe I must date it from my first seeing his beautiful grounds at Pemberley."

Here's a lovely pic Himself took of Chatsworth House. It was Pemberley in 2005's Pride and Prejudice movie

"But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them, I believe I thought only of you." - Chapter 58

I have seen this wonderful movie version more times than I have read the book. I wish I could pay a historian specializing in Regency England to watch it with me and answer all my questions. For example, what is that long brush on Jane's vanity? She is brushing her hair with a normal brush, so what is that?

Went to a new Barnes and Noble location near me and saw this book rest, which advertised none other than Pride and Prejudice! It was not inducement enough to purchase said book rest, but tickled me pink to see P&P 🥰

I thank you for my share of the favour," said Elizabeth; "but I do not particularly like your way of getting husbands." Chapter 51

Time for tea and a chapter. ???

I blame Walmart. Pushing my cart through store, there this beauty was, right on the endcap. #PemberLittens Walmart isn't the place where I shop for books usually. Occasionally I might pick up a copy of a Bestseller I've been meaning to read. ?

One of the extras included in Marjolein Bastin edition of Pride and Prejudice is Mr. Darcy's letter to Elizabeth.

#Pemberlittens after a big gardening project and two Birthday celebrations, it was lovely to spend Sunday puttering in my Library and organizing my collection.? ??

#Pemberlittens probably know this. First-edition was printed as a set of three volumes.

So today's chapter number depends on whether edition you're reading follows the original: Volume 2 - Chapter 1 or if it goes sequential, its Chapter 24.

I'm going with Chapter 24 because it's easier for me to keep track. And today's quote: "Mr. Darcy was condemned as the worst of men."?
#JaneInJuneJulyandAlways

We watched this movie, as well as Mash in honor of Donald Sutherland. Since we have been stuck in the downstairs of our house which -yay!- has AC we have been watching lots of movies, documentaries, etc. Now I want to reread P & P but maybe that‘s for July/August. Too many books this month!!!
Both these editions have lovely illustrations- in the edition on the right they are in color;in the edition on the left they are in black and white.

"He was too happy, however, to need much attention; and luckily for the others, the business of love-making relieved them from a great deal of his company." Chapter 23

"The strangeness of Mr. Collins's making two offers of marriage within three days was nothing in comparison of his being now accepted." Chapter 22

Tonight's Edition of Pride and Prejudice is from Word Cloud Classics Box Set. Another Gift from one of the #PemberLittens. ?

#JaneInJuneJulyAndAlways

'I shall be glad to have the library to myself as soon as may be."- Chapter 20

#Pemberlittens Chapter 20 also has a classic line from the movie but it's a bit spoilery. (Although do we really need to call Spoilers on a book that's over 200 years old?)

Love the bonnet on Wordsworth Edition!

Chapter 16: "It gives me pain to speak ill of a Darcy." And then he does.

"Both changed colour, one looked white, the other red. Mr. Wickham, after a few moments, touched his hat—a salutation which Mr. Darcy just deigned to return. What could be the meaning of it? It was impossible to imagine; it was impossible not to long to know." - Chapter 15 ⬇️

"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book!" - Chapter 11

#Pemberlittens such a great quote and it's said by Caroline Bingley, who doesn't read. ?

Today's is a Signet Classic. Such a fun cover.

"Bingley was sure of being liked wherever he appeared, Darcy was continually giving offense." - Chapter 4.?

*Another edition I need to add to Litsy Database.

"She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me;"

I'm tired of Litsy not having my editions of Pride and Prejudice in the database so I'm going to start adding them. Like this Cranford Collection edition my friend Claire gifted me.

And so #PemberLittens begins my tradition of reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen in June as part of my Birthday Celebrations. I'm reading Chapter a Day which means I will finish on July 31st.

I got this candle with the new Rifle Paper Co edition of Pride and Prejudice from #authenticbooks and it is my favorite smell ever. I want to smell it in my dreams. I love Rifle Paper Co but this candle! New favorite thing.

1. Pride & Prejudice (2005) - I didn‘t like the book but this movie was really good. I enjoyed it.

2. Holes (2003) - I liked the book when we read it in my 7th grade English class and I enjoyed the movie. I‘ve watched the movie many times.

3. Les Miserables (2012) - I read the book and I enjoyed it but I enjoyed the movie more because it had music.

#threelistthursday

My mind went blank trying to think of a book set in Spring. According to Google, P&P takes place during the spring and it's one of my favorite classics.
