wanderinglynn Love that bag & tumbler! 😍 4y

Eggs Thanks so much for playing 👏🏻 beautiful bag and cup 👍🏼 4y

rubyslippersreads I haven‘t done any junk journaling, but the idea (and the photos on Instagram) fascinate me. 4y

DebinHawaii @rubyslippersreads I am just starting which mainly has been assembling supplies & making a few tags & bookmarks so far and just starting in a pre-made journal but I love it & hoping to devote more time to it & do some #audiojunkjournaling too. The YouTube videos on it are amazing. I plan to do a reading journal of favorite books first. 🤗 4y

The Clergyman's Wife | Molly Greeley

An impromptu rainy weekend binge of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice miniseries has reminded me that:

1. I love the odiousness of Mr. Collins‘ character, and
2. I still needed to read this novel about poor Charlotte Lucas‘ life after she becomes Mrs. Collins.

I‘ve VERY pleasantly surprised, thus far!

(And thanks again to @CrowCAH for this lovely #AVeryAustenHolidaySwap gift 😘).

CrowCAH You‘re welcome ☺️ Glad you‘re being surprised by this author‘s take of events for married Charlotte! (I still haven‘t read it) 4y

sprainedbrain I LOVED that book. 🥰 4y

Ruthiella Me Collins is a wonderfully odious character. I find covers where a person‘s head is cut off disconcerting...🤔 (edited) 4y

Cathythoughts I‘m watching it at the moment ... Collins is really well played. We have the Kiera Knightly movie available at the moment too ... ( I find her hard going ... so staying with the 1995 BBC series 👍🏻 4y

rubyslippersreads I haven‘t read this yet, but I enjoyed

Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh

LeahBergen @CrowCAH I think you‘ll enjoy it, too. 😊 4y

LeahBergen @sprainedbrain I‘m not finding any of the characters disconcertingly different from the originals (unlike in so many other pastiches). 👍🏻 4y

LeahBergen @Ruthiella I know! And I purposefully cut even more of the head off with my bookmark placement. I‘m not a fan of this cover art. 😆 4y

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts The later movie sure has its fans but (for sticking closest to the original novel) nothing can beat the 1995 series! 4y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Oh, good to hear! I‘d been eyeing that one. 4y

Ruthiella @Cathythoughts @LeahBergen I‘ve only seen snippets from the Kiera Knightly version but I don‘t think I could manage to watch it because I want to brush their hair in every scene ! I know they didn‘t have hair spray back then, but COME ON! 😆 4y

LeahBergen @Ruthiella Yeah, it‘s definitely a “feral” Pride and Prejudice. 😆😆 4y

Cathythoughts @Ruthiella 😂 😂🤣 4y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen @Ruthiella Is that the one where we see Mr. & Mrs. Bennet being, um, more intimate than Jane Austen ever depicted? Certainly too feral for me. 😏 4y

Ruthiella @rubyslippersreads oh gosh! Now I REALLY don‘t want to see it. 😂 4y

Mansfield Park: (classics Hardcover) | Jane Austen

pick

Epiphany #Pemberlittens on not liking when originally read as a teenager. Now I have Elizabeth Bennet's Obstinate Headstrong Girl attitude, back then I was Fanny Price. Quiet, shy, & afraid. Often I compare my hypochondriac mother to Mrs Bennet. Yet so many times with reading(especially w/Juliet Stevenson audio) Mrs Norris sounded exactly like my mother. Verbal abuse & neglect of Fanny I think just hit to close to home for me back then....⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig Another reason for disliking - Fanny got her HEA but Edmund is no Mr Darcy or Henry Tilney.

Having survived and thrived despite of my childhood, I can now read through older eyes and appreciate Fanny Price. #musingsonmansfield

Crinoline_Laphroaig I can definitely see myself reading Mansfield Park. Especially this beautiful copy I received from @Mitch for #AVeryAustenHolidaySwap. I treasure it. #forevershelf 4y

Andrea313 Feels wrong to "love" this comment. I'm sorry to hear about all you have been through. But I appreciate your words on appreciating Fanny, and of course I love your beautiful photo. ❤️ 4y

These Chanukah socks are adorable! I wish the ISPS had been able to deliver this box when it was supposed to (24 days ago 🤣🤣), but I have no qualms about wearing holiday socks after the holiday has passed! 😜 Maya already snatched one of these as I opened the box; it looks like I‘m going to have to share. 😂 Thanks again @quietjenn !
