Lydia here is talking about the hobby of decorating a hat or making slight alterations to one she already has.

It isn‘t Christmas in the Wiebe household without an airing of the 1995 miniseries #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs +21pts

Charlotte Lucas‘s views on matrimony.

Day 8 of #12booksof2020

It never hurts to visit an old favourite and thanks to #pemberlittens this past August and September, I was able revisit this wonderful book.

My annual watching of the 1995 miniseries; have watched it most Christmas seasons since my sister got the VHS set at Christmas 1996. Recorded it back this past summer when it was on #pbs. #pemberlittens #wintergames #readnosedreindeer #1995miniseries

Points: 20 + 1 = 21

An example of the annotations in the book

5⭐️ As usual I loved the book. I particularly liked all the various annotations that David Shapard made so much that I purchased the Northanger Abbey annotated edition as well. Still one of my favourite classics. #bookreview #bookstagram #classics #prideandprejudice #fiction #janeausten #readalong #pemberlittens

My favourite line in the book #pemberlittens #chapter31 #chapteraday #prideandprejudice

Got this edition specifically for the #pemberlittens #readalong

“We are all fools in love” says Charlotte to Elizabeth at the party. They were discussing of Mr Bingley and Jane‘s affection of each other and how Jane should ‘snatch him up‘ before Mr Bingley looses interest..Austen depictions of foolishness is aplenty in the book, and more focused on the male fools (Mr Bingley, Mr Wickham, Mr Collins..)

Summer reading

Mahalo @Blueberry 🤗it's been awhile since I have done one of these. #wonderouswednesday @Eggs
1. Any Jane Austen
2. Pride and Prejudice-more times than I can count!
3. Goodreads, Litsy, my head lately-I'm behind 😜
4. Here's 2: Max sleeping next to me while I was blogging last night 😽❤️ & my breakfast: Blueberry Lavender Tea-Infused Chia Seed Pudding Parfaits.😋Doing a sponsored tea event & this was my recipe creation.
5. Anyone who hasn't!😘

1. According to genre. I thought of arranging it as rainbows but I don't like having series apart.
2. Books by O.Henry and The Animal Farm.
3. I love the smell of books. Who doesn't smell books?
4. Nope. My idea is to buy more books with the money than different editions of the same book. I do like some beautiful covers but I don't think really buy different editions. But I live seeing the covers.
#OnlyReadersUnderstand

1. Ice cream
2. No.
3. I hardly drive so nope.
4. Music.
#friyayintro

1. Yes
2. Netflix (although we recently started watching Goliath on Amazon!)
3. Horror/paranormal, crime, comedy, fantasy, dystopian, post-apocalyptic
4. Yes, but only when it‘s just background noise.
5. I think P&P would make a good series. We want to know what happens to Lizzie and Darcy after the marriage, and they‘re still going to have to deal with Mr. Collins, Lady Catherine, Caroline B., and Wickham, so plenty of story left!

Now there's a bizarre combination...

Indeed.

For those interested, there‘s a free online course on Jane Austen offered by the University of Southampton which has started this week. The following link provides more information:

Re-reading one of my most favorite books of all time! #bookworm #ilovebooks #prideandprejudice #janeausten

Unpopular Opinion: I hate P&P... sorry. #ReadingResolutions

#AprilBookishMadness #FavoriteQuote

It‘s amazing how many photo prompts Pride & Prejudice works for; fav quote:

“You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you” -Mr. Darcy to Elizabeth Bennet

(Photo from Pinterest)

I‘m going with a friendship for question #3 instead of a romantic one. One of my fave relationships is that between Charlotte Lucas and Lizzie Bennet. #JaneAustenGiveaway

When I was younger, Lizzie Bennet was always my favorite character. As an adult, Anne Eliot is my favorite (though much love still goes to Lizzie). #JaneAustenGiveaway @GypsyKat

Day 28: Weddings #150PnPCoverParty

I‘ve done it ladies!

I got @Dage to read Pride and Prejudice!!! 😍

Well, he chose to start reading the book, I didn‘t even ask him to.

And of course he knows it‘s my favorite!

To re-read with him (or not) is not a question, but a must! 😉

I have to use the tagged book again to talk about #love but what other kinds of love can compare to a mother‘s love of her children?
Mrs Bennet may be a noisy and irritating woman with all her ‘nerves‘, however is also a loving and caring mother, despite her obvious favouritism of Jane. Her sole purpose in life is to marry off each of her daughters to well-to-do men.

#150PnPCoverParty @CrowCAH @LeahBergen

“I remember the time when I liked a red coat myself very well - and indeed I do still at my heart”.

Mrs. Bennet is just as fascinated by the #militia officers just as her daughters when the officers arrived at Meryton. 🙄

My new favorite drinking glass!! #bookishchristmasgifts #merrychristmas

I can now proudly declare that I have read Pride and Prejudice! I most certainly liked it. Not a favorite, but definitely better than expected. Some parts were slow, and others hooked. I can certainly see myself reading more Austen, but farther in the future. Just not my usual style. Glad to now be able to join the conversation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Also, I like the 2005 movie, but the 1995 miniseries is just too cute! & I have a soft spot for #lostinausten 💖

The Bennett Family is full of daughters of marrying age and Mama B. is working 24/7 make sure it happens. Key to the story is Elizabeth, who is immediately taken with Mr. Darcy (as are her sisters) at a party where the Bennett women are set to meet potential suitors. But that quickly changes when Darcy‘s pompous attitude leaves them all less than impressed. More suitors follow. Then gossip and drama and a tidy ending. Rosamund is a dream narrator!

#septembowie #letsdance
I'm always fascinated by the intrigue that takes place in Austen during the formal dances. Tense conversations, shared bits of gossip, flirtations - all while changing partners and moving through all that odd group choreography. And all the joyous anticipation for the "ball at Netherfield" ?

Day 24 #AndItsAugust #ComfortReads Challenge catch up.😬 No surprise that Jane Austen's books- especially Pride and Prejudice-are my favorites to read, watch, listen to when I need comfort. Max🐱is a fan of the P & P audiobook read by Rosamund Pike & will come sit by my tablet (or lay on it & sleep) when I listen to it. When I listen to other books, including BBC Jane reading Sense & Sensibility, he could care less.😆😽Strange boy! #catsoflitsy🐱

Thank you so much, @britt_brooke ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I love the Pride and Prejudice page flags and the lovely necklace you made yourself! #LitsyPenPals

I took this quiz twice and the first time my boo was Darcy. Elizabeth Bennett was my second. I honestly was hoping for Captain Wentworth.

Will forever be one of my favorite novels of all time 💗

#Characters2017 #Ravenclaw Well of course I claim my favorite literary character for my Hogwarts house! 😆👍 Although she has the courage and loyalty of other houses, Elizabeth Bennet's lively wit, intelligence, and love for books and reading are all Ravenclaw. 💙💛📚

The Bennet sisters are among my most memorable and entertaining #siblings read. Love watching the BBC drama and film adaptations too. #aprilbookshowers

Why are the Mr. Collins' of the world the only men who attempt to hit on me. Where are the Mr. Darcys 😒 #whereismydarcy

The question about the number of books I read in one year has an upper limit of 20....bwahahahahaha.

Bookish goods: this is my current lunch bag! #riotgrams

Hands down the best romantic second chance in literature. #secondchances #booklove2017
