Focus Features send an email with merch celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 1995 film of P&P. This one made me laugh & cringe at the same time! 😁
pickJanuary is such a struggle. Hence this comfort reread

@GondorGirl notified me as to these bookish boxes being sold at Michael‘s!
Thank you 😘
so-soSo much pining in this book. I enjoyed the second volume. While I expected the romantic twist/trope, I didn't expect to be touched by Captain Wentworth's letter. That scene was so good.
My comfort reads:
anything by Louisa May Alcott or
Lucy Maude Montgomery or
Cassandra Clare
I like series because the characters become familiar (family)
I like magazines- just looking at advertisements is comforting.

And we end with happiness! Elinor and Edward marry and Mrs. F relents, offering them a bit of cash to settle more comfortably at Delaford. Marianne eventually has to eat all her words because she falls - not passionately - but quietly in love with an old man who wears flannel waistcoats. And now Margaret is of age to dance and have beaux and be teased, so triumph for Mrs. J! My love for this book is unceasing; I will never tire of it. Brava, Jane!
Ch. 49. Edward returns and though we don't get the actual proposal, we are assured that he has joyfully "secured his lady." Much of this chapter is full of people bashing Lucy - Mrs. Jennings calls her a hussy! And Edward throws shade at her writing and admits that the whole affair started because he was so bored and directionless he had "nothing in the world to do, but to fancy (himself) in love." But out with the trash- a bright future is ahead!
after discovering Pride & Prejudice. Probably when I was about 15 so 1981? For my 7X reading. I read my beautiful Signature Gilded Edition.
Forgotten that a lot of the book takes place in January. I love reading seasonally.
Most struck by the fact that I am now older than Mrs Dashwood (40) and Colonel Brandon (35)!⬇️

6️⃣ I'm an open book sort of person so I wouldn't be good at the drama of secret love. I'll take dashing and flirty until it goes too far and then I'll dump them. ⬇️

8️⃣ Colonel Brandon obviously, Elinor because when would be great friends, and Mr. Palmer for snarky comments. ⬇️

Never ever throw yourself at a man.
Don't let your daughter go to the Sin City that is Bath.
Cheap rent often isn't.
📖Next it's choose your own Austen Adventure. Read any adaptation, a topic that interests you or watch a movie. I'll be sharing my picks on February 1st.🎩
