Watched these two adaptations over the last two evenings and I truly love both. I had forgotten Anna Madeley (Mrs. Hall of All Creatures Great & Small) was Miss Lucy Steele. Maybe the 2008 3 episode series has a slight edge since it has more content than 1995 film.

I spent this afternoon working on my reading journal and watching the Sense and Sensibility movie. I've always loved this adaptation. I feel that it highlights all the best parts and portrays all the relationships even better than the book 😅

Last night I attended a book club of the original Sense & Sensibility paired with a showing of the 1995 version of the movie at a local indie theatre. It was just delightful to hear the laughter and gasps from an audience that loved the movie so deeply. What a joy to be celebrating and discussing Austen‘s work centuries after it was written.

Finally Marianne got some sense and realized to whom she should be joined in #marriage.

I started this back when we were reading S+S adjacent books — I know — but just recently picked it up again. Emma Thompson is a delight! Her diaries are hilarious and heartfelt and I got so much insight on the movie-making process for one of my all-time favorites.

This exchange between Alan Rickman and Kate Winslet was the best:

Kate: ‘Oh God, my knickers have gone up my arse.‘
Alan: ‘Ah. Feminine mystique strikes again.‘ 😂

1. Austen has a lot a hate-able characters but, in my opinion, Willoughby is the worst!

2. Characters, for sure!
