December 16, 2025 is 250 Anniversary of Jane Austen's Birth. I wanted to do something special for #JaneAdjacent Book Club.

Thought to harken back to beginnings of Pemberlittens when @sprainedbrain brought us together to read Jane Austen.

One month will read Original. Next you choose a retelling, graphic novel, or watch a movie. Tag @Crinoline_Laphroaig #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow so we can find your posts.

I'm so excited for this!

😮 #JaneAdjacent BookClub is down to 2 books! Never fear #PemberLittens I have a plan. Working out few things and then will let you know.

Searching for Mr Tilney by Jane Odiwe
Is November's Novel. (Yes that's a nod to Northanger Abbey.) I'm excited because I adore Henry Tilney.

Read at your own pace. Discussion Post will be up November 30th. And as always let me know if you want to be tagged or removed from tag. #12monthsofjane

julieclair Looking forward to hearing your plan! 😃 3d
Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair I'll try and get a graphic/ signup posted tomorrow. 2d

Pemberlittens It's time for #JaneAdjacent. My answers:
1️⃣ First read. Print copy. First Impression - overly wordy. Everything is described in great detail. As member of Fictional Hangover https://www.fictionalhangover.com/ Vampire Book Club, I've read quite a few Vampire books. This is by far one of the worst.
⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ Annie was the only character with any sense. Elizabeth was just so accepting of everything. As a reader of Pride and Prejudice, I'm supposed to just believe no one noticed Darcy avoids sunrise/sunset and barely eats?
3️⃣ Darcy turning into a bat hilarious.

4️⃣ I had a quote marked but I've lost it. Honestly can't be bothered to go back and find.

5️⃣ Paris has Pain au Chocolat. ⬇️
5d
Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ Bad enough that nothing happened for over 200 pages. Just Darcy and Elizabeth traveling around Europe. But the Indian Jones scene and the 'Wait! True Loves Kiss can turn you back human!' had me rolling my eyes.

7️⃣ I was so glad to finish this book. #12monthsofjane @julieclair @SarahBookInterrupted @willaful @mctrish @LitsyEvents @Julsmarshall @DebinHawaii

Crinoline_Laphroaig @SarahBookInterrupted there was moment I almost Bailed and told everyone 'Don't Bother.' But my friend Claire, who joins in on Instagram had finished it. So I felt I should too, if just so we could talk about how bad it was. 😆 5d
julieclair I decided to skip this one because I just couldn‘t deal with the idea of Mr. Darcy as a vampire.🧛 Looks like I made a good choice! Although…. Sometimes discussing a really bad book together can be so much fun. 😆🙃 5d
Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair So true! My friend Claire and I had many chats about this one! 4d

#Pemberlittens there be Spoilers ahead‼️🏴‍☠️ #JaneAdjacent

1️⃣ First read. Print. I liked that mistaken identity didn't go on for a long time. Darcy being accused of being a pirate could have been much darker and that's not something I want to read.
2️⃣ Always Elizabeth
3️⃣ Elizabeth figuring out who the Captain really was. Which leads me to my favorite quote.
4️⃣ “Thank you, again, for the dance, Mr. Darcy.” ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 5️⃣ Life has been non stop. Would gladly spent a quiet summer at Pemberley.
6️⃣ I understand he was doing it for Elizabeth and the rest of the family but Lydia did get off easy.
7️⃣ I've read Steampunk Darcy by Monica Fairview. That was awesome. Confined with Mr Darcy by L L Diamond was Covid/Lockdown that I really enjoyed.
8️⃣ I couldn't find an audiobook. I think it would have been fun.

#ReadAway2024 #ForTheLoveOfBooks

My last fully completed book of August, finished tonight for #PemberLittens #JaneAdjacent It‘s a soft pick for me, just a bit too YA, I liked the author‘s second book, Ghosted, a Northanger Abbey retelling better than this Pride and Prejudice-based one. Georgie just seemed too young & there weren‘t enough pages to flesh out Will & Lizzie (& because it‘s P&P, I was more interested in them). Still, not a bad ⬇️

DebinHawaii …effort & I‘ll probably read her new Sense and Sensibility retelling at some point. 2mo
TheSpineView Awesome! 2mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig I felt the same. Enjoyed it but not as much as Ghosted. Too much teenage angst. 2mo
DieAReader 🥳Great! 2mo
willaful I'm planning to read Ghosted in October. 2mo
