MaleficentBookDragon You are welcome. I'm so glad you like everything; I'm always second guessing myself. That booksleeve was one that WASN'T made with a lot of cursing ( I kept those 😂 ). I rerally like that candle. I happened across it at Aldi if you can believe it (I love their isle of shame 😜). I got one for myself too. 5d

Chrissyreadit @MaleficentBookDragon You made it???? I do love it!!! And also love the Aldi Isle of shame!!! Candle is perfect!!! 5d

MaleficentBookDragon @Chrissyreadit Aldi is DANGEROUS. I went there yestetday for canoli dip (my friend has me hooked on iced cannoli lattes). They did not have any left. One hour and $100 later I'm not sure what happened.... 😊 5d

Becoming Jane: The Wit and Wisdom of Jane Austen | Anne Newgarden

What have you read/watched this December? Are you done for the year? Or planning a few more?

Such a busy time of year, I wanted to go ahead and post Persuasion 'Now' discussion. Join in whenever you can.

I've got one more watch party scheduled for Becoming Jane. Saved it for December because it's set around holidays.

AnneCecilie Nothing so far, but would love to see Netflix‘s Persuasion, there‘s so many opinions about it 6d

BookishMarginalia Rewatched my fave P&P adaptation, the Colin Firth version 💜 6d

AnishaInkspill I watched the BBC drama of Pride and Prejudice, before reading the novel of which I am almost 2/3 through. It‘s Jane Austen, not sure if it‘s ever possible to finish with Jane Austen. And I‘ll look out for your Persuasion discussion. I'm not sure if you've come across this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvkqlWCgcck , Modern Persuasion, an updated take retold as a romcom. 5d

julieclair @AnishaInkspill I‘m hoping to read that this month! (Or next…. Or at some point in my life… 😂) 5d

peanutnine I'm planning on watching the Netflix adaptation of Persuasion and I have a book retelling on hold. It will probably wait until the new year, I'm deep in holiday reads lol

Give Me a Reason

AnishaInkspill @julieclair 😂 I've been here many times 😂 4d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @peanutnine looks fun

Give Me a Reason

Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnishaInkspill vaguely remember Modern Persuasion. I think I've saw it. 4d

Dangerous to Know: Jane Austen's Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues | Katie Oliver, Amy D'Orazio, Karen M Cox

pick

Good start to December. I finished both tagged book and Rational Creatures. Anthologies are often a mixed bag but I enjoyed most of the stories. Standouts:
For Mischief's Sake by Amy D'Oramzio featuring Captain Fredrick Tilney. Such a great redemption arc! I loved Catherine Morland's part in that.

I particularly loved Where the Sky Touches the Sea by KaraLynne Mackrory featuring The Crofts. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig Such a lovely story about the importance of not only love but friendship in a marriage. And just because you can't have children, doesn't mean you're life is empty. ⬇️

Rational Creatures

Crinoline_Laphroaig "I have learned that, when rough waters come, you cannot sit upon the decking and rage against the storm. You cannot scream at the wind and lash out at the rain on your face. Doing so will do nothing but allow the storm to beat upon you with greater vengeance and perhaps steal from you your life. No, when the waters are not calm, you must secure the boat, rigging and sails. Brace yourself and, with your crew beside you, face the storm."

Jane Austen, the Secret Radical | Helena Kelly

It's been a loooong year with this book! Kelly's ideas offer some real ups and downs- the undercurrent of violence and unrest in P&P, sure; but Northanger and the danger of pregnancy? Half siblings in Wickham and Darcy, Harriet Smith and Jane Fairfax? I have to laugh. The chapter on Persuasion is bland by comparison, framing the novel as commentary on the uncertainty and malleability of all things, from great empires to the human heart. 👇👇👇

Andrea313 But what I really appreciate about this book, in spite of (because of??) the moments that feel like a bizarre reach, is the fact that Kelly is working to show us "that Jane is an artist, that her work is carefully considered, structured, themed, that she uses her writing to examine the great issues of her day." This kind of treatment is applied to to male writers every damn day, so I love seeing Austen and her worlds taken very seriously ??? 4w

Andrea313 and mined for meaning, nuance, symbolism, and a sense that she had very real and important things to say about the time and place in which she lived. After all, what else keeps bringing us back to her work all these years later? #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow 4w

Daisey I felt much the same about this one. It had fascinating ideas to consider, but some seemed an incredible stretch. 4w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Just from the review I agree with @Daisey. 4w

AnishaInkspill It's interesting what you say, the more I reread Jane Austen novels I see how clever they are in how it hides the big views. 2w
