What are your final thoughts?

There‘s still time to COMMENT on any of these posts to be entered into the drawing for a box full of P&P and Jane Austen goodies! (The winner will be announced tomorrow evening EST.)

sprainedbrain, ElizaMarie, katy4peas

ElizaMarie I finished this 2 days ago (I had been doing so good at just watching one daily but... I couldn't help myself!) Anyway, I loved it! I loved the happy ending :) It was super cute. I think the actors were amazing! I loved everyone they picked! 4y

katy4peas Such a cute interpretation! Happy endings are so nice!! 4y

sprainedbrain I loved it! Can‘t believe I never watched it before... thank you so much for hosting! 4y

CrowCAH @ElizaMarie I agree! At times they seemed like real people, not just actors playing characters. I‘m very happy you joined us for this watching of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries! 🥰 4y

CrowCAH @katy4peas agree; happy endings just give me the warm and fuzzies. 🥰Thanks for commenting on the posts throughout the series! 4y

CrowCAH @sprainedbrain I wholeheartedly agree! It‘s such a neat adaptation, albeit a lot longer than the 1995 mini-series, but soo good! 🥰 Thanks for letting me have a little bit a of leadership role during the #PemberLittens reading of all of Jane Austen‘s works; this time for Pride and Prejudice!!! 4y

katy4peas @CrowCAH thanks for hosting and tagging me. It was a great series that I enjoyed! 4y

ElizaMarie @CrowCAH Thank you so much for hosting this! I really annoyed watching this with you :) 4y

sprainedbrain Absolutely! I appreciate you! ❤️ 4y

#LBD weekly question:

When I see people start to tear up or cry it makes me start to tear up. This past week‘s episodes were touching and brought the tears to my eyes. 😢

Does this happen to you?

sprainedbrain, ElizaMarie, katy4peas

katy4peas Yes! I tear up when I see others cry. I‘m behind. I need to catch up on my diary entries! 4y

sprainedbrain Yes! Every time! 4y

SilversReviews Yes. 4y

CrowCAH @katy4peas no worries; my question didn‘t give anything away 😉 4y

CrowCAH @sprainedbrain @SilversReviews glad I‘m not the only one. 4y

TheAromaofBooks Yes, most of the time! So much emotion this week!!! 4y

#LBD weekly question:

Lydia and Wickham sure have some relationship drama.

But what about Darcy‘s concern for Lizzie? He even touched her shoulder - twice!

sprainedbrain, ElizaMarie, katy4peas

sprainedbrain Wickham is no longer attractive and I‘m so tired of Lydia. So basically it‘s just like P&P. 😂 4y

katy4peas 🤔 my sister‘s boyfriend asked me out first and then asked her out a week later after I said no and they have been together for almost 4 years. I‘m the reason they met though! Yay, relationships! 😬 4y

CrowCAH @sprainedbrain he‘s such a playah. And Lydia‘s downer alter ego isn‘t fun to watch. I want the perky Ly-dee-yah back! 4y

See All 10 Comments

CrowCAH @katy4peas that‘s such a sweet ending to the story; glad it‘s working out for them! 4y

TheAromaofBooks I think this interpretation of Wickham creates the Wickham that I hate the most, if that makes sense haha He's SUCH a sleezeball here & watching him manipulate Lydia into depending on him, isolating her from her family, undermining her self-esteem - sooo hard to watch but done so believably! @sprainedbrain @katy4peas 4y

CrowCAH @TheAromaofBooks correct. It‘s hard to like him even a little or feel sorry for him. 4y

ElizaMarie I had my college roommate's boyfriend hit on me one night and it was super awful! That and then she was all upset with me because I had asked her not to let him spend the night because he was leering at me and sat on the bed while I was sleeping! Ugh it was horrible! 4y

ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks yes!!! I hate him! He is such a horrible personality! 4y

CrowCAH @ElizaMarie ugh, that is super creepy. I shared a room with a woman at college and one night I woke up to her and her boyfriend having sex just a couple feet away! Talk about awkward. 4y

ElizaMarie @CrowCAH Ha I have woken up with something similar too. It is so weird. like I had to pee but I couldn't get up to pee because then they would know that I was awake and saw them!

Ugh! Roommates are the worse! 4y

#LBD weekly question:

This weekly episodes were during the Christmas and New Years holidays.

What‘s a tradition of yours during these times?

We‘re 3/4 of the way through the series; in the home stretch!

sprainedbrain, ElizaMarie, katy4peas

ElizaMarie We do a zoo lights trip :) , watch the nutcracker, picture with Santa :) 4y

TheAromaofBooks So that everyone in my (large) family can afford to get gifts for everyone else, we set a $5 limit & it's become the most entertaining challenge ever to get creative & find the perfect gift within the budget. 4y

CrowCAH @ElizaMarie great traditions! 📸 🎅🏻 4y

CrowCAH @TheAromaofBooks I can see how that would be a challenge, but presents are still gifted, not eliminated; I like it! 🎁 4y

katy4peas For New Years, we always work on a jigsaw puzzle with music on in the background. Sometimes the tv is on and sometimes not. Usually we still go to bed early though. For the Millennium year, my parents woke my sis and me up so we could bang on pots and pans. We did that but were so disappointed that nothing changed at midnight that we went back to bed. The Magic was gone! 😂 and sleep was much more important. 4y

MaureenMc On NYE, we play video games all night and watch the ball drop at midnight. My 8-yo loves being able to stay up so late! I‘m usually ready for bed way before she is. 😆 4y

sprainedbrain My favorite holiday tradition in our NYE with a bunch of family: drinking, eating, and board games. 😊 4y

CrowCAH @katy4peas yeah, I agree. I thought for Y2K there was going to be “something”, but nothing happened. 4y

CrowCAH @MaureenMc what a neat tradition! I‘m usually ready for bed before midnight, too! 4y

CrowCAH @sprainedbrain one year, we hosted a game night to midnight; lots of fun! 4y

#LBD weekly question:

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽! LOL

It‘s seems this was the week for reflections on LBD. Everyone is leaving the house and Lizzie; and Jane is worried for her.

Where does Lizzie‘s future lead?
What about yours - any plans? Dreams?

*Any who comment on these posts, will be entered into a drawing for a box full of bookish and Jane Austen goodies from me.*

sprainedbrain, ElizaMarie, katy4peas

sprainedbrain I‘m not sure why Jane is so worried about Lizzie... but she does need to have a plan for what she‘s going to do when she leaves school! Also, I totally cheated and finished last weekend. Whoops! 😂 4y

katy4peas I‘m totally a Lizzie. I feel the same as her. Everyone is leaving me while I am happy with my two part time jobs. 🤷🏼‍♀️ sigh 4y

CrowCAH @sprainedbrain haha no worries! 😉 We still do have four weeks to go. Thanks for joining me in watching the LBD! 4y

CrowCAH @katy4peas same. I‘m content with my day job. While trying to creative write and get published on the side. 4y

TheAromaofBooks I can remember being Lizzie, where it felt like everyone else had A PLAN - I never really had a career that appealed to me. I'm pretty happy with how life played out, though. I've worked loads of random jobs & learned all sorts of random things. Now I work seasonally at an orchard & a greenhouse, so most of my work time is spent outside & active, which I love! 4y

katy4peas @TheAromaofBooks that‘s awesome! 4y

katy4peas @CrowCAH glad it‘s not just me! 👍🏼 4y

CrowCAH @TheAromaofBooks as long as you enjoy your current work, then there‘s no need to seek employment elsewhere! 4y

Pride and Prejudice and Kitties: A Cat-Lover's Romp Through Jane Austen's Classic | Jane Austen, Pamela Jane, Deborah Guyol

#FallFinds

Max🐱thinks that Pride and Prejudice (and any book really) would benefit greatly from the addition of #felines 🐈🐈🐈so he thinks I should #buddyread this book with him since I‘ve already so many of the P&P adaptations & variations already. So #PemberLittens friends, I will be finally getting this one off of my #TBR stack this month.
#catsoflitsy 😽❤️

sprainedbrain, Eggs

LeahBergen Max is looking as handsome as ever. 😍😍 4y

JeffyRoo Kitty is a kitty in #LBD on YouTube. So maybe Max would like to watch that? 4y

#LBD weekly question:

OMG we actually see Mr. Darcy!!! 😍

Your opinion of said man?

And what about all the Caroline drama?!

sprainedbrain, ElizaMarie, katy4peas

sprainedbrain Caroline is finally showing herself in this to be as nasty as the original. And this Darcy is cute! But he‘s no MacFadyen or Firth. 😂 4y

TheAromaofBooks I had completely forgotten that the way we are “personally“ introduced to Darcy is during the proposal/big blow up scene. It somehow made it feel natural to bring him on camera that way. I love the way this Darcy delivers his lines. (“You called me a robot. And a newsie.“) Always good times. I'm a little behind, so I haven't gotten to the Caroline drama yet & can't remember exactly how it unfolds! 4y

katy4peas I like this Darcy, but I really like Fitz. Can‘t wait to see how Lizzie reconciles with Darcy in this one. I felt bad for him catching her calling him a robot. 4y

See All 8 Comments

ElizaMarie I‘m so surprised at what Darcy looked and sounded like. He seemed a bit smaller than I had expected... but I‘m glad we saw his face ! 4y

CrowCAH @sprainedbrain I still appreciate this Darcy, the perfect blend of arrogance with awkward. 4y

CrowCAH @TheAromaofBooks yes, it took forever before we saw Darcy the person! 4y

CrowCAH @katy4peas yes, I do feel bad for Darcy. A guy misunderstood. Fitz is a lot of FUN! 4y

CrowCAH @ElizaMarie yes, he more of an average or office body type, opposite of Wickham. But I like his face and hair 😍 4y

#LBD weekly question:
Sorry this post is late...

Mr. Collins is helpful, but that six page list to Lizzie of how she should prepare for dinner with VC deBourgh was a bit much.

What do you think?

sprainedbrain, ElizaMarie, katy4peas

ElizaMarie Ha!!! It‘s so funny that she recounted a do‘s/don‘ts list for a dinner!!! 4y

katy4peas Don‘t let your thumbs bend outwards when bending your fingers inwards into a fist for a thumbs up motion. 👍🏼🤣 4y

katy4peas Use your left hand if you must use a knife. A bit much! 4y

See All 9 Comments

sprainedbrain Mr. Collins is just so... Mr. Collins. 🙄😂 4y

TheAromaofBooks I just can't get over how well Mr. Collins is updated in this version. I'm behind on the chapter-a-day reading of P&P, so I actually was reading the chapter about Elizabeth visiting Rosings right when I was watching this & the parallels are fantastic! 4y

CrowCAH @ElizaMarie it‘s quite hilarious! Lizzie too it all in stride! 4y

CrowCAH @katy4peas yup, 👍🏻!!! I think most people cut food into bite size chunks. Lol 4y

CrowCAH @sprainedbrain the actor does an amazing job; so quirky! 4y

CrowCAH @TheAromaofBooks yes, I agree! The vlog series does a great job following the original text! 🥰 4y
