25daysofprideandprejudice

The Jane Austen Collection | Jane Austen

Jane Austen was born December 16, 1775… and thank goodness for that. ❤️

I‘m going to celebrate by continuing my #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice. Tonight is episode 4 (for the third time this month lol), so Darcy‘s letter/Darcy sans cravat AND a visit to Pemberley/wet Darcy.😍 I do hope Lizzie‘s family is in good health. 😂

sprainedbrain @DivineDiana it‘s just the 1995 BBC miniseries with Colin Firth… sort of a December tradition for a few of us to watch one episode per day starting 12/1 until we‘ve watched the whole thing 4 times. 😂 3y

Nute Thank goodness for her birth. Love it!!! 3y

DivineDiana Thank you! Will try to find it! 3y

Palimpsest @sprainedbrain I just remembered that I never filled out the pemberlittens survey, but if it‘s not too late to add me for future group books, whether Jane Austen related or other classic authors, I am interested! Thank you so much! 3y

sprainedbrain @Palimpsest adding you to my tag list now! Did you see the books that were chosen for January/February? I can go tag you in the two schedules that have already been posted if you‘d like! 3y

Deblovestoread Happy birthday, Jane! 💜💜💜 3y

Gissy Happy birthday 🎂🎈🎉 3y

Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

@mklong reminded me last night that I haven‘t posted about #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice this year. 😬

Anyone binging P&P this year? For those playing along, it‘s day 7 so we are at the beginning of the miniseries again today! 😉❤️

#PemberLittens

BennettBookworm You‘ve inspired me! 3y

mklong I‘m all caught up and I love the random things that come to mind watching this so many times. Today‘s random thought, “I should take up embroidery” 3y

sprainedbrain @mklong You are so crafty! this time around I‘m focusing on how much Darcy STARES at Lizzie. 😂 3y

It‘s Jane Austen‘s birthday!

I hope everyone finds a way to enjoy the magic that Austen gave to us today. 🥰

Personally, I‘ve already busted out Persuasion to read my favorite letter (and swoon a little). I‘ll be watching my daily episode for #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice & continuing #AJaneAustenEducationBuddyRead.

sprainedbrain @Cuilin same! 🥰 4y

Susanita Sirius is commemorating Beethoven‘s birthday today. He was five years old when Jane was born! 4y

sprainedbrain @Susanita oh! I can listen to some Beethoven while I work! 😃 4y

Chrissyreadit OMG!! So I‘m going to take my final today! My daughter has agreed to make a vegan bday cake and I will begin my Jane Austen Education book and watch Pride and Prejudice. WooHoo!!!! This is the best day ever! 4y

sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit good luck on your final! 🥰 4y

Cuilin @Chrissyreadit I‘m making a vegan chocolate cake with my daughter! 🎂 we should compare recipes. I may watch S&S or Emma. 4y

meghathecloud I began 'A Jane Austen Education', so celebrating with reading about why she was so great! (edited) 4y

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm going to have tea and and try my hand at Bath Buns. Supposedly "Jane Austen, who lived in Bath for a while, was a fan of Bath Buns and wrote in 1801 that she would eat herself sick if her sister, Cassandra, did not accompany her during a visit."

Oats in the North, Wheat from the South: The History of British Baking: Savoury and Sweet

sprainedbrain @Crinoline_Laphroaig ooooh... care to share the recipe? 😉 4y

katy4peas Yum! 🥳 4y

inthegreensandblues 🥳 I will watch some adaptation tonight in honor of the occasion! Now which one.... 4y

i.besteph Definitely watching P&P in honor of the occasion. 2005 adaptation never gets old 🥰🥰 4y

MicrobeMom 👏👏♥️♥️ 4y

Chrissyreadit @Cuilin it‘s a vegan carrot cake we found online. I‘m hoping we have all the ingredients but will check when I get home. 4y

KristiAhlers I am loving all of this Jane Austen stuff. And I‘m so excited for Persuasion! 4y

KVanRead HBD Jane!!!! 🥳 I am so thankful for this post! Woke up feeling low today but now I‘m making plans to make some preserved ginger while listening to A Jane Austen Education on audio and then later maybe giving Becoming Jane a try (I‘ve never seen that one) while toasting Jane with some sort of ginger cocktail (tbd) ... thanks #Pemberlittens💗 4y

KVanRead @Chrissyreadit Good luck 🍀 on your final and with the cake. I‘d love the recipe if you find it‘s a good one. Carrot cake is my husband‘s favorite. 4y

Mitch Off to whip up a regency treat. Happy Birthday Jane 🎂 4y

Mitch @Crinoline_Laphroaig I love Bath Buns! They were always they first thing you made in school cookery classes! 4y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Mitch Hopefully that means it not to difficult to make! Off to make!🤞 4y

Chrissyreadit @Cuilin @KVanRead I will have to try the cake another day. This day got completely away from me. @Cuilin how did your cake turn out? 4y

Cuilin @Chrissyreadit I‘ll post a pic. Not too bad. 4y

KVanRead @Chrissyreadit I had one of those days too and never got to the ginger preserve. Did watch Becoming Jane which I LOVED. Hope your final went well.😊 4y

December 2 & Episode 2 of #25DaysofPrideandPrejudice with @sprainedbrain as well as the 2nd tea & jam pairing from my 2 advent calendars. I‘m not sure I would pair Cherry-Elderflower Spread with Mint Refresh Tea normally but it kind of works as there‘s fennel & hibiscus & rose flower in the tea that soften the mint. Both are delicious & the jam on buttery holiday-shaped shortbread is👌🏼 #holidayselfcare

GypsyKat This is my favorite adaptation of all time! 🙌🙌🙌 4y

DebinHawaii @GypsyKat Mine too! Although I may be set on it for awhile after watching it so many times through in December! 😉 4y

sprainedbrain I‘m inexplicably excited that tonight is episode 4... the neck! The green suit! 😍 (edited) 4y

DebinHawaii @sprainedbrain wait—did I get behind? Isn‘t it Episode 3 tonight? 🧐 4y

sprainedbrain @DebinHawaii lol. No you‘re not behind but I MAY have watched two last night. I blame the wine. 4y

DebinHawaii @sprainedbrain Ha! Exactly why I went with the tea advent colander and not the wine advent calendar! 🤣🤣🤣 4y

OK, sharing time...I get holiday depression & a bit grinchy even without the dumpster fire of a year 2020 has been & November was a tough month, so I‘m trying to do some #selfcare rituals to get into the holiday spirit.🎄Joining in a few swaps & #25daysofprideandprejudice with @sprainedbrain To go with the episode countdown, I treated myself to advent calendars from Bonne Maman Jam & Pukka Tea. I shall have tea & jam & Colin Firth every night.😋

Caroline2 Great idea!! Those advent calendars look awesome!! 😀 4y

LeahBergen This sounds perfect! Enjoy yourself wholeheartedly. 😘 4y

DieAReader @ElizaMarie has posted her December #SelfCareBingo card! Maybe a jumping off point😉♥️ 4y

Christine Wonderful! A friend sent me the Bonne Maman calendar last year and it was such fun! 4y

erzascarletbookgasm Sounds perfect! You deserve to enjoy yourself. 4y

sprainedbrain Oh that is perfect! Enjoy yourself 🥰❤️ 4y

Laughterhp What a wonderful advent calendar! 4y

jmtrivera That sounds like a delight! 4y

ElizaMarie I love this! Take care of yourself! I love how you re putting yourself in the forefront and well... yay for advent calendars and tea! 4y

DebinHawaii @Caroline2 @Christine @Laughterhp They are both fun! I confess I got the Bonne Maman one mostly for the little jars. 😉😆 4y

DebinHawaii @LeahBergen @erzascarletbookgasm @sprainedbrain @jmtrivera @ElizaMarie Thank you friends. It feels like a good way to wind down each night. 🤗 4y

DebinHawaii @Squidget Thanks got the idea. I‘ll check it out. 🤗 4y

Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

Drunk Austen is (sadly) no more, but I‘m not going to let that keep me from #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice

It‘s simple: starting December 1, watch one episode of the 1995 miniseries each day through December 24 (that‘s 4 trips through the story for those who are counting). On December 25, watch THE WHOLE THING AGAIN, if you‘re a purist, or watch the 2005 movie, if you‘re like me. 😍🤣

Tagging the #PemberLittens, but this is for everyone!

⬇️⬇️

sprainedbrain Supplement with your favorite beverages and snacks, talk about it on Litsy (or the PemberLittens Slack channel, where @mklong first suggested doing it this year), organize informal watch parties or watch it on your own... basically just enjoy the magic of P&P until you can‘t enjoy it any more. If that‘s possible? 😉 4y

BarkingMadRead Yesssssss 4y

Annie1215 The miniseries is my bible 😂🙌🏻 4y

alisiakae I definitely have it in my Dec watch list! Not 4 times though 🤣 4y

sprainedbrain @4thhouseontheleft sooo... probably not five times either? 😂 4y

mklong So excited!! Is it Tuesday yet? 4y

Cuilin @mklong Two more sleeps. 4y

Scochrane26 I just saw that the 2005 movie is leaving Netflix again toward the end of December. 4y

Chrissyreadit Why yes, I believe I will. 4y

Susanita Excellent! I recorded it for our watch party but then couldn‘t do it. 4y

LitStephanie I love that version, but why would we want to watch it five times in one month, LOL? 4y

Librarybelle I wanna say yes, but we‘ll see how far I get! 4y

sprainedbrain @LitStephanie I feel like I just did in October (tends to happen with watch party hosting) but it‘s a whole thing the DrunkAusten started years ago. It was lots of fun. 4y

DebinHawaii Challenge accepted! (Now let‘s see if I can make it happen!) 🤣 4y

KristiAhlers I can‘t wait for this! Going to be epic! 4y

rubyslippersreads I‘ll watch, but not 5 times. However, I‘ll also watch the 2005 version, as well as the 1940 version. 😊 4y

SarahBookInterrupted I‘m in, however not sure I can watch the whole thing on Dec 25th. But 1 episode a day seems doable. Maybe? Guess, I‘ll see! 4y

coffeewithbooks So, I am really confused . Is this still a group read or there a book for next month? 4y

sprainedbrain @coffeewithbooks This post is just about a silly thing for December... it‘s watching Pride and Prejudice every day and it‘s just for fun for those of us who want to do it. The current PemberLittens group read is Northanger Abbey. That book is our Austen book for November and December. In January, we will have some group reads and watch parties for books and movies related to Northanger Abbey. 4y

sprainedbrain @coffeewithbooks because some of us are done (or almost done) with Northanger, we are going to have a buddy read of the book A Jane Austen Education in December for those who want to read along. We will also have some watch parties for The Jane Austen Book Club and Lost in Austen for those who are interested. The ‘official‘ book is still Northanger Abbey for the PemberLittens group, but some like to do other things along the way. Does this help?😊 4y

sprainedbrain @coffeewithbooks The next Austen book that we will read together will be Mansfield Park, starting in February 2021. If you just want to read along with the Austen books, that‘s perfectly ok... all of this is optional and people join in for the things they are most interested in. Feel free to email me at jenni.d.langford@gmail.com if you need more info! 4y

coffeewithbooks @sprainedbrain thank you that make sense . I need to write this down so I remember lol 4y

coffeewithbooks @sprainedbrain can you tag the book for December? I want make sure get the right one at the library. Thank you 😊 4y

sprainedbrain @coffeewithbooks sure thing! It‘s this one:

A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter

coffeewithbooks @sprainedbrain thank you (: 4y

The Jane Austen Handbook: A Sensible Yet Elegant Guide to Her World | Margaret C. Sullivan

Things that have happened today:

First, I woke up in no kind of mood for reading at all, so no readathon for me.

Then, I acquired some tasty Chinese food and came home to a giant box from Drunk Austen... it‘s my fashionably late prize package from #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice in December and Omg how awesome is all of this?? 😍

Now, I do believe I will have some tea and watch something Austen-adjacent. 🙌🏻

#Pemberlittens, look at my new books!

Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

Happy Jane‘s birthday to all of us!

I‘m celebrating with episode 4 of the miniseries (for the third time this month) because it‘s #25DaysOfPrideAndPrejudice with drunkausten.com and I‘m seeing new things every time around.

This time... is it just me or does Colin Firth have an extremely nice neck? 🔥😍😂

Biblionut ❤️ It‘s inspiring me to start the new year off with a Jane Austen book. I haven‘t decided which one. 🤔 5y

sprainedbrain @Biblionut I‘m thinking I want to reread Persuasion next year. It‘s tied for my favorite with P&P. 💕 5y

Biblionut Mine as well. 👍🏻 5y

See All 15 Comments

Branwen @sprainedbrain @Biblionut You guys are really inspiring! I want to start off the new year reading Jane Austen as well! 😍 I'm thinking either Mansfield Park or Persuasion. Mansfield Park is my FAVORITE, but it's been ages since I've read Persuasion. 🤔 5y

BennettBookworm Love this 5y

sprainedbrain @Biblionut @Branwen oh I love Mansfield Park, too! Maybe I should just reread them all... including Emma (my least favorite) since I‘m going to have to see that new movie. Bill Nighy as Mr. Woodhouse is intriguing, and maybe I won‘t dislike Emma so much if I reread. 😬 5y

mklong Love this! I‘m doing the 25 days too and everyday I say “oh, I think this is my favorite episode.” I just downloaded this one because the older I get, the more intrigued I am by Charlotte

The Clergyman's Wife

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m rereading Persuasion, and I think next I need to give Emma another shot. I hated it the first time I tried to read it, but I understand Austen‘s humor much better now. 5y

Joanne1 So nice to read some Jane love. No one else in my life gets it. Maybe I‘ll make 2020 an Austen year too! 5y

sprainedbrain @mklong I am stacking that book! Thanks😊 5y

sprainedbrain @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m hoping the second time helps me see why so many people love Emma. I just thought she was so annoying. 😬 5y

sprainedbrain @Joanne1 There are so many Janeites on Litsy! ❤️❤️❤️ 5y

HOTPock3tt Happy Jane‘s b-day! 🤗 I really want to do another Pride & Prejudice re-read just to see what the story and their relationship will reveal to me the third time around! I‘m also planning to finally read persuasion in 2020 since I haven‘t done so yet 😅 @sprainedbrain (edited) 5y

HOTPock3tt I will also add a comment about how much fun Northanger Abbey was! I don‘t feel it gets enough love 🤣lol 5y

sprainedbrain @HOTPock3tt I love Northanger Abbey! It‘s so spooky and fun. ❤️ 5y
