Yuletide: A Jane Austen Inspired Collection of Stories | Christina Boyd

repost for @Crinoline_Laphroaig:

#Pemberlittens last #JaneAdjacent Book Club read of 2024
#JaneAustenThenAndNow begins in January.

When choosing books for #12MonthsOfJane I knew Yuletide was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. And I love that it benefits Chawton Great House. Grab your copy and enjoy over the festive season. Discussion Post will be up December 30th.

Searching for Mr Tilney | Jane Odiwe

😮 #JaneAdjacent BookClub is down to 2 books! Never fear #PemberLittens I have a plan. Working out few things and then will let you know.

Searching for Mr Tilney by Jane Odiwe
Is November's Novel. (Yes that's a nod to Northanger Abbey.) I'm excited because I adore Henry Tilney.

Read at your own pace. Discussion Post will be up November 30th. And as always let me know if you want to be tagged or removed from tag. #12monthsofjane

Mr. Darcy, Vampyre | Amanda Grange

pan

Pemberlittens It's time for #JaneAdjacent. My answers:
1️⃣ First read. Print copy. First Impression - overly wordy. Everything is described in great detail. As member of Fictional Hangover https://www.fictionalhangover.com/ Vampire Book Club, I've read quite a few Vampire books. This is by far one of the worst.
⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ Annie was the only character with any sense. Elizabeth was just so accepting of everything. As a reader of Pride and Prejudice, I'm supposed to just believe no one noticed Darcy avoids sunrise/sunset and barely eats?
3️⃣ Darcy turning into a bat hilarious.

4️⃣ I had a quote marked but I've lost it. Honestly can't be bothered to go back and find.

5️⃣ Paris has Pain au Chocolat. ⬇️
2mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ Bad enough that nothing happened for over 200 pages. Just Darcy and Elizabeth traveling around Europe. But the Indian Jones scene and the 'Wait! True Loves Kiss can turn you back human!' had me rolling my eyes.

7️⃣ I was so glad to finish this book. #12monthsofjane @julieclair @SarahBookInterrupted @willaful @mctrish @LitsyEvents @Julsmarshall @DebinHawaii

Crinoline_Laphroaig @SarahBookInterrupted there was moment I almost Bailed and told everyone 'Don't Bother.' But my friend Claire, who joins in on Instagram had finished it. So I felt I should too, if just so we could talk about how bad it was. 😆 2mo

julieclair I decided to skip this one because I just couldn‘t deal with the idea of Mr. Darcy as a vampire.🧛 Looks like I made a good choice! Although…. Sometimes discussing a really bad book together can be so much fun. 😆🙃 2mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair So true! My friend Claire and I had many chats about this one! 2mo

Accomplished: A Georgie Darcy Novel | Amanda Quain

pick

It's time for #JaneAdjacent Book Club.
1️⃣ New read. Audio and Print. I read Ghosted - A Northanger Abbey Novel with #PemberLittens last year. So when I saw the author had written a book about Georgie Darcy, I immediately wanted to read. LOVE the cover.
2️⃣ Always Lizzy Bennet.
3️⃣ Georgie and Lizzy conversations. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ “My big brother, Fitzwilliam Darcy, could suck it.” Great opening. Set the tone.
“I could help Fitz Darcy be happy, for once in his goddamn life.”

“Me and my new boyfriend, this charcuterie platter, are going to find somewhere we can be alone.”

5️⃣ I always feel like September/after Labor Day is the perfect time for a fresh start. Give me a new planner, colored pens, pencils,stickers and I'm sooo happy.
4mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ No, I wasn't in Band but I love to watch them.

7️⃣ I'm kinda of klutzy, so tripping over my own feet is something I'm used to. Plus I feel like that would be easier to recover from.

8️⃣ Wickham plays trumpet? For some reason I found that hilarious. Then the fact that he was a great trumpet player but too cool to show up for practice seemed so Wickham. Also I could totally see modern Wickham running a plagiarism ring.⬇️
4mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I spent some time at the beginning of the book yelling at Georgie when she made bad decisions. I really enjoyed when she stood up for herself with Wickham and had adult conversation with Darcy.

willaful 1. New read. I chose audio, which was mostly very good, except for a tendency to feel OTT in the more emotional passages. I generally liked it and would read more by the author.

2. I also really liked this book's Lizzy.

3. George and Fitz by the hot tub.

4. Since I listened to the audio, i don't have text to refer to. :-( The opening is very funny.

5. I do a little through my kid, who's in community college. It's fun to take her shopping.

4mo

willaful 6. Nope, though I was in several school choirs. I also enjoy watching them especially at Pride parades.

7. I'd much prefer being able to make expensive mistakes and not be worried about the money than to fall. 😂

8. I thought this was a clever take and an excellent way to approach the retelling for a YA audience. Much better than the “remixes“ recently published.

Most Ardently: A Pride & Prejudice Remix

Crinoline_Laphroaig @willaful there were moments when the angst was just to much on audio. Especially at first. But I enjoyed it not quite as much as
