My Fatal Valentine: Juniper Holiday, #4 | Leighann Dobbs

pick

Started this Series for 2024's #SeasonalCozies so I picked final book for February #ThematicCozies Prompt Romance.

All in all, I enjoyed this series. Quick reads. I do wish there'd been a bit of Romance between Torie and Detective Mallard.

While there were several mentions of Easter Scavenger Hunt, it doesn't appear author is continuing series. Which is fine. Juniper's continued provoking of Det D was getting old.

#Pemberlittens watching this tonight. First Impressions: Barton Cottage is a MANSION but were bemoaning it's small. But other than that I'm loving. Cheesy in good way.#JaneAustenThenAndNow

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Andrea313 Willoughby just entered and I yelled F🤬boy‼️ 6d

Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig He deserves it! Don't go soft like Elinor, hold onto that energy! 🤣 6d

Crinoline_Laphroaig Overall this was a fun Sense and Sensibility Retelling. Not perfect, a bit cheesy but fun. 6d

Mansfield Park | Austen

This show up in my Facebook Memories from 2021. I was doing Chapter A Day of W&P and
"Today also starts my #Pemberlittens Readalong......Mansfield Park is the first of Jane Austen's novels to be conceived as well as executed and published in maturity." It‘s been ages since I've read Mansfield Park. Much as Jane wrote this with older eyes, I'm looking forward to reading through older eyes. ? #musingsonmansfield

Miss Austen | Gill Hornby

#Pemberlittens I had so much fun in reading S&S!

📖 Elinor & Marianne's relationship is such a big part of S & S. For February I'm reading story focusing on Jane & Cassandra. Also I wanted to reread before May 4th PBS Premiere. Audiobook is read by fabulous Juliet Stevenson so I'll mostly listen. But it's nice to have a print copy to refer to.

#Pemberlittens it's time for our first discussion of 2025!

You can answer here or make your own post. Please remember to tag me so I don't miss your posts. And search #JaneAustenThenAndNow to see others posts.

I share my answers in comments and then tag everyone. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 1️⃣ I first read Sense & Sensibility
after discovering Pride & Prejudice. Probably when I was about 15 so 1981? For my 7X reading. I read my beautiful Signature Gilded Edition.

Forgotten that a lot of the book takes place in January. I love reading seasonally.

Most struck by the fact that I am now older than Mrs Dashwood (40) and Colonel Brandon (35)!⬇️

1w

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ Colonel Brandon always and forever. For all my Love of P & P; I must say that S & S has one the best literary heroes in Brandon. Now when I read this classic I always see him as the perfection, that is Alan Rickman from the movie. A quiet unobtrusive man for the most part. However, when you need a Hero he always comes through. ⬇️

1w

Crinoline_Laphroaig 3️⃣ The big Mrs Ferrars reveal. Such a great plot twist! Although we all knew that Lucy was a conniving bit of baggage.

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣“But he talked of flannel waistcoats,” said Marianne;" ⬇️ 1w

Crinoline_Laphroaig “It is not every one,” said Elinor, “who has your passion for dead leaves.”⬇️ 1w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Know your own happiness. You want nothing but patience— or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope.⬇️ 1w

Crinoline_Laphroaig 5️⃣ I'm going to take the lock of hair, but always say it's in my ‘other‘ pocketbook because I immediately threw it away. Hair EWE!

6️⃣ I'm an open book sort of person so I wouldn't be good at the drama of secret love. I'll take dashing and flirty until it goes too far and then I'll dump them. ⬇️
1w

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ I'm definitely an Elinor. For all my love of silly hats, I'm practical. Marianne wears me out. I always feel that Colonel Brandon could have done better. But, I'm always so happy when Marianne finally realizes that Colonel Brandon is way better than Willoughby.

8️⃣ Colonel Brandon obviously, Elinor because when would be great friends, and Mr. Palmer for snarky comments. ⬇️

1w

Crinoline_Laphroaig 9️⃣ Lessons learned while reading:
Never ever throw yourself at a man.
Don't let your daughter go to the Sin City that is Bath.
Cheap rent often isn't.

📖Next it's choose your own Austen Adventure. Read any adaptation, a topic that interests you or watch a movie. I'll be sharing my picks on February 1st.🎩

Crinoline_Laphroaig @bookandbedandtea no worries! Join in when you can. I think I have Jane if Austin on my Kindle. 1w

julieclair Still reading, but I can answer some of these great questions now: 1️⃣ Reread, maybe the 4th time? I am less tolerant of Marianne than I was when I was younger. 2️⃣ Colonel Brandon, for sure. 4️⃣ The dead leaves quote made me laugh out loud! 5️⃣ Ummm… neither. Thanks anyway. 6️⃣ Secret love. 7️⃣ Elinor absolutely. 8️⃣ Colonel Brandon, Elinor, and do I have to invite a 3rd? Maybe Margaret? Definitely not Mrs. Jennings. Insufferable woman. (edited) 1w

julieclair 9️⃣ I love this book. Totally enjoyed this reread! It‘s been too long since I last read it. My February read will be

How to Age Disgracefully | Clare Pooley

pick

After reading the very depressing Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont, I needed a happier read. Loved this! I highlighted so many great quotes. A few of my favorites:

"She appeared to have jumped out of the frying pan of sexism and into the fire of ageism. The final frontier of isms.

“Mature?!?” said Daphne. “Good grief, I‘m not a cheese. Or a herbaceous border." ?

More in the comments.

Crinoline_Laphroaig “These aren‘t representative bosoms, you know, Kylie,” said Daphne, who was taking her role as educator and protector most seriously. “Genuine breasts come in all manner of shapes and sizes. As do noses, and eyebrows and teeth. That is the beauty of real women. They‘re unique! These women have all spent an absolute fortune having painful, often downright dangerous procedures to make themselves look identical and forgettable......⬇️
3w

Crinoline_Laphroaig You, my friend, must always remember you are perfect just as you are. Do you understand?”

It was time to venture outdoors. He needed to buy some supplies. Just the major food groups: tea, milk, chocolate Hobnobs, and whiskey.⬇️ 3w

Crinoline_Laphroaig Fashion isn‘t frivolous, my dear. It‘s armor. Dressed in Dior, you can take on the world. ....Women in Dior never cry in public. Or at all. The only emotion they show is disdain, with a touch of boredom." 3w

Lots of people found this funny. The have someone impersonate your grandson was. But on the whole I just found it horribly depressing. 😒

Crinoline_Laphroaig So after this I wanted a happier read so I read

How to Age Disgracefully

Crinoline_Laphroaig And this from Acknowledgements rang true: "It often feels like the only role of a pensioner in fiction is that of a sad, lonely, hopeless technophobe, adrift in modern society, who is then saved by the kindness of a younger person. Well, bollocks to that, as Daphne might say. That‘s not the kind of senior I intend to be, nor the one I want to read about. I wanted to create older characters who are bossing it."

CaramelLunacy @Crinoline_Laphroaig oof, they are constantly picking at people, aren't they. I'm sure they think of it as kind, but using the Dashwoods to distract themselves from their own boredom is a lot when the power dynamic already makes them quite beholden. 4w

#Pemberlittens a bit of #JaneAustenThenAndNow from yesterday's reading of Chapter 19 - Then. I had forgotten the circumstances when this was said and whi said it. Wise words from Mrs Dashwood? That's not something I associate with her.

And the 'Now' ⬇️......

Crinoline_Laphroaig "The fruity truth: My favorite English author is Jane Austen. So, to borrow a passage from Sense and Sensibility: “You want nothing but patience—or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope.” To paraphrase: I hope to see you put your green American money where your filthy mouth is soon. Yours in sexual frustration, Henry"

Year of Jane Austen: 365 Days of Regency | Jane Austen

so-so

#Pemberlittens every year I pick a Daily Quote book to start my day with. Picked tagged for #JaneAusten250. Couldn't find any reviews, took a chance because it was only $5.95.

Cover is gorgeous. Format not my favorite. For instance, today is Day 5, not January 5. Annoying later in the year when you're just trying to find your place not having to do math with your morning tea. Also it doesn't appear that quotes are based on seasons. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig While I'll continue to read, I'm thinking I'm going to write my own in Jane Austen Novel Journal. It will be a lovely little keepsake for me. I can also record events I participate in, books I read and important dates. 🫖📖 ✍️

Crinoline_Laphroaig @staci.reads I think it's the period between Staci and Reads. When I tag you individually on Litsy works fine. But when I Copy my list of Participants from Google doc and paste in Litsy, tagging stops with staci. Maybe try adjusting your name to something without a period. Just a thought. 1mo

My answers:
1️⃣ Reread. I first read several years ago and have often revisited. When choosing books, I knew was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the busy holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ Continuations and Filling in the Gaps. I don't like when Jane's original stories are tampered with. I prefer the Regency Period but make it different. I feel like Modern Day Retellings are the hardest, especially Pride and Prejudice. A woman isn't going to starve in the hedgerows these days because they didn't get married.

3️⃣ Anne de Bourgh is definitely plotting and or waiting for when she inherits Rosings Park to go absolutely wild. ⬇️
1mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ Mistletoe Mismanagement by Elizabeth Adams. I love seeing Elizabeth and Darcy happy together at Pemberley.

5️⃣ I have 3. Inspiration for book:
"I went up to the Great House between three and four, and dawdled away an hour very comfortably.” Jane wrote in a letter to her sister Cassandra.⬇️

1mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig “No, dear, they are coming with us to Rosings. I need all these books if we are to spend a fortnight there,” Elizabeth replied. - By A Lady by Lona Manning

“Really? You can march against Napoleon, but you cannot find a way to talk to a lady in your cousin‘s home? I fear for England!” Mistletoe Mismanagement by Elizabeth Adams

6️⃣ Lady Catherine. At least could escape and walk the gardens of Rosing.⬇️
1mo

See All 14 Comments

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣. I love that these stories edited by
have proceeds benefiting Chawton Great House. The former home of Jane Austen's brother Edward and is now the Centre for the Study of Early Women's Writing. Just a short walk from Chawton Cottage a place Jane often visited.⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig And that's a wrap on 2024! Join me in January for #JaneAustenThenAndNow Book Club celebrating the 250th Anniversary of Jane Austen's Birth when we read Sensibility and Sensibility. I'll be back later with more details.

1mo

julieclair 1️⃣ First read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I listened on audio while in the car, and the short story format was perfect. 1mo

julieclair 2️⃣ Continuations and Filling in the gaps, for the same reason you stated. Jane‘s original stories are sacrosanct. I do enjoy modern settings, though. 1mo

julieclair I didn‘t really have a favorite story - I enjoyed them all. And I didn‘t write down any favorite quotes because I was driving, but I remember laughing out loud at the Napoleon quote you referenced above! 😂 1mo

julieclair 6️⃣ Mrs. Bennet for sure. I have known several people in my life just like her, and have learned to tune them out! 🙉😂 1mo

julieclair 7️⃣ I agree… I love that the proceeds benefit Chawton Great House. I actually plan to purchase a physical copy because of that. 1mo

julieclair What a fun reading year we have had together! Thanks for hosting, and picking such great books. I‘m excited for #JaneAustenThenAndNow ! 💙😃💙 1mo

Grace Notes | Alexandra Stoddard

so-so

I was looking forward to something like Grace Notes in Living A Beautiful Life. The practical things like setting a pretty table and making your bath your own private oasis. This was more meditations and deep thoughts. I ended up using it as an On This Day quote journal. Because of that I will keep and refer back to. The actual book bored me. I've already finish up the year of writing holiday quotes and yearly reminders in it. 😒 #myyearinbooks

Crinoline_Laphroaig Living a Beautiful Life was one of the first books I ever read on making a house a home. Growing up in a dysfunctional family, clutter and chaos was the norm. It was life changing for twentysomething me. My well-loved copy had all my favorite things highlighted. When I looked at it I always focused on those notes.

Rereading replacement copy, all these years later, I'm surprised at how many things have become part of my routines.

#Pemberlittens It's time for #JaneAdjacent Book Club. My answers:
1️⃣ Print Copy. I wanted a Northanger Abbey retelling for this month. November just seems the perfect time
for Northanger Abbey. Cover caught my eye. I just love it! Didn't realize the setting is November. Or that it was Time Travel.

2️⃣ I really liked Mr Austen in the past story.

3️⃣ Love a Book Fair!

⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ ‘Oh, you like Jane Austen…..
Yes I believe many men do, though some people think she's an author just for girls, I suppose.

Unbelievable, Who on earth would think like that?‘

5️⃣ You had me at biscuits. ⬇️ 2mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ This is from my Goodreads Review of The Mysteries of Udolfo:
‘I was so happy to hear The End…..
Apparently there weren't Editors in 1794 when this was published. It rambles on and on and on. I could only take so much of the Histrionics. I would bail for a while. Finally I can get this 31 h 15 m 42 s mess off my phone.‘ ⬇️

2mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ I found the notes about the Rice Portrait of Jane Austen interesting. I've seen the image countless times, but didn't realize that it may be Jane Austen herself. 2mo

The Dratsie Dilemma: San Andreas Shifters | Gail Carriger, G. L. Carriger

pick

My early morning tea and read last few days.
Marvin the Merman has always been my favorite of the San Andreas Shifters ever since I first met him in Gail Carriger's short story Marine Biology. (It's free when you sign up for her newsletter The Chirrup.) He always sparkles . It was interesting to see a more serious side to him. Also learning more about merfolk. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig But that Epilogue is what I love most about this series. “You‘re the strangest merman I‘ve ever met.” Marvin patted his shoulder. “I know, honey. But just look,” he gestured widely at the massive barbecue. “We like adopting strays.”🧜🏼‍♂️
2mo

catsuit_mango I loved the new story and learning more about merpeople. Do you think we will get Kevin's story one day ? And who is the strange lady in the café, we did not get the full story on her.... 2mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @catsuit_mango ya what was up with her? Also there keeps being mentions of the fact that Alec and Marvin aren't married. I forget which book it is but Marvin says he's waiting on Alec to ask him. Why haven't you asked Alec????? 2mo

catsuit_mango @Crinoline_Laphroaig the good news is that it leaves a lot of new stories open if Miss Gail wants to keep writing that series :) 2mo

Her books are so pretty. Something she once talked about in a Facebook Live. How she pays attention to how covers will look together.

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

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.

Searching for Mr Tilney | Jane Odiwe

😮 #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
