#Pemberlittens Look at these beautiful #Janeite books author and illustrator Julia Fry gifted me! We follow each other on Instagram but hadn't really engaged, other than a couple of times I commented on her posts. She messaged me after the fire saying she wanted to sent me her books. She autographed them and included the sweetest note. Note card is her design as well. So pretty! Lovely addition to my #AllThingsAusten shelf.

Crinoline_Laphroaig @StayCurious @CrowCAH it's been a busy weekend. Catching up on Miss Austen #JaneAdjacent and #HearthstoneBuddyRead today. 🎧👩‍🌾 2y

#JaneandtheExcellentReadalong

Crinoline_Laphroaig 1️⃣ I put off finishing because from #JaneandtheYear2020 knew Lord Harold, The Gentleman Rogue dies at the end. Even knowing it's coming still had me 😭

2️⃣ As a #Janeite I know Jane's life story. Had she married we would probably have never gotten her books. But still I want her and Lord Harold to have secretly wed, continuing to solve mysteries, and Jane still having time to writing books. One can dream.

Crinoline_Laphroaig 3️⃣ Jaarold doesn't seem to be grand enough. I

4️⃣ Really liked brother Frank in this one. He's again added another word to my vocabulary - havey- cavey. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig 5️⃣So many good quotes! “You cry, dear? Waste. Should've married you years ago.” .......“Promise me . . . you will write. Heroine—” 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig Pray do not stumble over your mother in the passage,” he added as I made for the door. “She has been listening at the keyhole this quarter- hour at least.”

"The moon is high; and when the lady in question is Miss Austen, it does not signify how long I wait.”

“Promise me . . . you will write. Heroine—”

6️⃣ Maria Fitzherbert. Plus I fell down a Google rabbit hole of the history of Itchen ferry. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ Rather obsessed w/ Jane's gown and want to Cosplay it - 'the cunning design of opened lapels, split bodice buttoned down the centre, and delicate bows tied beneath the right breast. The high white ruff à la reine Elizabeth, with Vandyke pleating, Equestrian Hat, and dove- grey paisley shawl, figured in black and gold. '

*Glad doubled up #janeandtheprisonerofwoolhouse and Ghosts of Netley since both are set in Southampton and have Naval storylines. After this we are off to @janeaustenshouse in Chawton. 2y

TheBookHippie First I want the dress. And yes had she ever married we wouldn‘t have the gift of her writing how sad is that?!?! 2y

TheBookHippie I suspect that too much breeding is at the heart of the trouble--but too much breeding is the lot of all women who marry young, particularly when they are so fortunate as to make a love-match. Elizabeth Bridges, third daughter of a baronet, was but eighteen when she wed, and only five-and-thirty when she passed from this life. With her strength of character, she ought to have lived to be eighty. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @TheBookHippie such a great dress! 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @TheBookHippie I'll take my chances financially as a spinster writer rather than dying after giving birth to my 11th child like Jane's sister in law. 2y

TheBookHippie @Crinoline_Laphroaig right the more I read of that time the more I‘m convinced single was the way to go …however money 😵‍💫 2y

TheBookHippie @Crinoline_Laphroaig also reminded me of religious practices today of some who have to have children til they die or menopause 😵‍💫… 2y

TheBookHippie @Crinoline_Laphroaig I want to make all these dresses and have a proper tea party 🤣 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @TheBookHippie yes please! 2y

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie Invite me please! 2y

Pride and Prejudice | Austen

A carriage ride and then musical entertainment during tea. It has been lovely. #pemberlittens #janeite Stowe is also a fun town. Some really yummy beer if anyone also is interested in microbrews. Lots of crafts and nature. So many beautiful places to hike and explore if I had more time!

Armchair? Check.

I came back from a month helping my parents and DIVE into this hilarious-from-chapter-one spearing of the Old Guard. Delicious, especially with tea.

SO beautiful, witty, and heartfelt. Felt so genuinely like an Austen storyline. Finally finished and wish I could inhabit the story longer. 💕👒
The novel ends with Home so I am using a picture from FB of my beloved California hills in ‘super bloom‘ right now, from Marla Brock Reed.

Genius book. Adapts Pride and Prejudice to Pakistan, which works beautifully. Funny, pointed and with characters to remember. A familiar story told at an angle, which made me look at it all over again.

Recommended!
