Welcome to Litsy!

The first book from these authors, an adaptation of Emma, was an unexpectedly fun and enjoyable read for me and I'd really been looking forward to this P&P companion. I'm happy to say that it didn't disappoint! I loved the characterization of the Bennet sisters here and the Lydia/Wickham twist was a fun play on the original. The potential for both a Persuasion and S&S set in the same world is teased here, and i hope we get them- I'd read eagerly!

The 3rd book in the Mr. Darcy and Ms. Tilney series revisits the characters of Jane Austen. The children of two of her famous couples investigate murders. This one is my favorite, taking us back to Rosings Park and some of Austens best characters in Lady Catherine De Bourgh, Mr. Collins, and Charlotte Collins. It also brings to life the minor characters of Colonel Fitzwilliam and Anne De Bourgh. #JaneAustenThenandNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig

I remember reading this years ago so decided to use my Thriftbooks credit to get myself a copy to read this year as we re-read Jane‘s books #PemberLittens

One of my lovely patrons came in yesterday with a belated birthday present for me. They know me well with all the pink, florals and Pride and prejudice!

I absolutely adore my patrons without presents and this just made my day!

I was debating whether or not to give this 3.5 or 4 stars. I finally decided on 4 because the story was so clever!

This was my third Jane Austen novel. Previously, I had read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility and enjoyed both of them.

My immediate impression of this book was that it was hilarious.

I visited a new used bookstore in my area today, and this is what I bought. I'm seriously considering joining my state's chapter of the Jane Austen Society of North America. It just seems like it might be fun.

My sons got me some bookish tshirts along with a BN gift card for my birthday!

I‘ve seen 32/100 which is fewer than I‘d expected, but OTOH many more are on my TBW list. Here are some favorites from what I‘ve seen.
1. Sense & Sensibility
2. Life Is Beautiful 😭
3. Apollo 13
4. The Crying Game
