Me and Mr. Darcy: A Novel | Alexandra Potter

so-so

Emily goes on a Jane Austen tour in England and runs into the “real” Mr. Darcy. They have a handful of encounters while she‘s having her own version of Pride and Prejudice on the tour. There‘s a bit of a whimsy with a fictional character coming to life, and ultimately this was ok. I saw where it was going a mile away, and even though I understood the point the author was making, I didn‘t agree with how Emily saw Darcy. Wasn‘t a fan of Emily either

Me and Mr. Darcy: A Novel | Alexandra Potter

pan

I read this book ages ago. I'm guessing back when it was first released. It's been on my All Things Austen Shelf since then. After reading some Goodreads Reviews I have a vague memory of it. Decided to reread to see if it deserved to be on my Forever Shelf.

1️⃣ the Cover. Why is this person wearing what looks like 1950's clothes when it's setting is Modern Day and Time Traveling to Jane Austen's day? It makes no sense what so ever.⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ the love interest Spike is an asshole. I'm sorry there is just no other word for it.⬇️ 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig AND THEN the tour visits Chawton Manor and claims it was home to Jane Austen in the latter part of her life and it's where she revised Pride and Prejudice. Except we #PemberLittens know she DIDN'T! She lived down the road at Chawton Cottage. Her brother lived at the 'Big House'. ⬇️

2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig All the things that happened at the Cottage, her small writing table, the creaky door, this book attributes to the stately Chawton Manor. Apparently this author didn't even manage to do the bare minimum of Research and her Editor didn't do their job either. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig I can't believe this book has been taking up space on my shelf for YEARS. I'm guessing I meant to get rid of it but forgot and then after awhile it was just there.🤬 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy the answer is this book is crap. 2y

KristiAhlers Yeah I wasn‘t a fan I was a total DNF and donated it. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @KristiAhlers it's definitely going in the Goodwill box 2y

CaramelLunacy Oof! I found my old review and was apparently mad that for a woman who re-read Pride & Prejudice every year, she didn't seem to have even a basic grasp of its plot or that it wasn't Victorian... I didn't write anything down about Spike, but the hazy impression I retained matches what you say. Best to send it off in disgrace. 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy Sending off in Disgrace! I must remember that. 2y

Me and Mr. Darcy: A Novel | Alexandra Potter

Yes it's September but the last from my #AusteninAugust 2022. But I'm a #PemberLittens so it's all appropriate to be ready Austenesque.

Read it ages ago. After looking at Goodreads Reviews I vaguely remember it. Want to see if it's still worthy to be on my #ForeverShelf.

CaramelLunacy I would be interested to know if it holds up - I think this was one that didn't really work for me when I read it ages ago (but I'm such a mood reader it may have just caught me at the wrong moment) 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy will let you know! 2y

At first I was not as engaged as I remembered being with the first in the series,Pride and Prescience.The middle with the transformed Mr. Dashwood,& his appalling shenanigans,(at times ridiculous)went on too long. I did enjoy the supernatural pieces, & the theme of reason v intuition. I wish we had an in between pick & a so-so. This feels somewhere in between.

Starting this today. I am trying to balance reading my library books and my TBR books. I just finished a book from my TBR, so now it is time for. Library book.

tokorowilliamwallace I've been attempting this balance, too, but it's a losing battle! I'm in the middle of 9 library books, and who knows how many owned ones. 2y

These Three Remain: A Novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman | Pamela Aidan

pick

Final installment of Darcy's story. I really enjoyed this one! I loved being able to see his reaction to Elizabeth's words and how he comes to terms with his faults and tries to become a better man. Also his relationship with Georgiana was so wonderful. I liked how he went from being her guardian to trusting in each other as confidants. Definitely a lovely series to accompany my beloved Pride and Prejudice ❤️
