Welcome to Litsy!

For my birthday, my friend took me to a Jane Austen picnic!! Everyone was dressed up. There were different Austen inspired activities every hour with scenes from Pride and Prejudice in between. I‘m obsessed with the pink fan I bought too 🩷 I‘m hoping to listen to the audio for Pride & Prejudice this summer and watch all of the adaptions!

One of my classmates sent me a gift card to @bookshop_org for all the help that I provided to her during our capstone project this final semester.

I used it to get to this Pride and Prejudice board game.

Finishing up P&P month in style while I fold laundry. #JaneAustenThenAndNow #PemberLittens

Happy last day of April to all the #PemberLittens! As we move away from Pride and Prejudice and its adaptations, let us celebrate by remembering one of the all-time great P&P posts. This lives entirely rent-free in my head. I think of this post easily every day. Hopefully now it'll be stuck in your head, too- enjoy! 😭😂 #JaneAustenThenAndNow

Got the card from my Auntie and Uncle and the book from my partner yesterday. 😊📚📖

I finally used my birthday BN gift card from son, I got the Pride and Prejudice bookends, another copy of P&P, a flower journal and a gratitude journal. Michaels was next door so I went it and found the book club papers. B

Jane and I spent yesterday making scones and watching all 6 hrs of 1995 Pride and Prejudice. It was wonderful. 🎩

Omg….i am in heaven! I asked the local @amctheatres manager if I could have the movie poster. He called me today to say that he had a brand new one to give to me. I picked it up after work and can‘t wait to use it for my Jane Austen library display!

It truly is the little things in life that make it grand!

I have read 65 (I am counting some series even if I only read the first)

Favorites:
P&P
Beloved
Sirens of Titen ties with Hitchhikers Guide

3 I do want to read:
Anne Green Gables
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Another Country (one of the only Baldwins I have not read)

One of my lovely patrons came in yesterday with a belated birthday present for me. They know me well with all the pink, florals and Pride and prejudice!

I absolutely adore my patrons without presents and this just made my day!

#grateful #blessed #librarypatrons #librarylive #librarylove #librarian

My sons got me some bookish tshirts along with a BN gift card for my birthday!

I‘m finally joining in! 🥳 It‘s 3 months into #JaneAustenThenAndNow but I couldn‘t pass up on an opportunity to read P&P with fellow Janeites!! It‘s SUCH a good story, I‘ve re-read it countless times. Watched the movie / TV adaptations, everything.
(Strangely, it‘s still not my favorite Austen - Persuasion is ☺️)
I‘m only at chapter 12 & am already as enamored and enchanted as ever. And I think I‘ll catch up pretty quickly, it‘s so good. Hurrah 😊

I'm SO excited to be kicking off the March P&P read with the #PemberLittens! I'm pulling out the Chiltern edition that a friend brought back for me when she visited Chatsworth House; such a lovely gift and a gorgeous edition. Are we all ready for this?! #JaneAustenThenAndNow

These two. 💚🩶💚

Rereading it this winter, and falling in love with Mr. Darcy all over again.

#FeelinTheLove #FavoriteLiteraryLove why Mr Darcy of course ! Brought to life on screen by Colin Firth ! 😁🥰

Getting my #AlwaysFullyBooked reading planner set up for 2025. Irrationally pleased with my star rating system legend. This is the first year I‘ve used quotes!

Happy birthday Jane!!!

I was due for a reread of my all-time favorite novel!

Book 152 of the year.

Prose that's poetry, IMHO. 😀

Repost for @Crinoline_Laphroaig

#PemberLittens anyone interested in Chapter A Day Readalong of Pride and Prejudice? I usually reread as part of my Birthday Celebrations. I‘m starting June 1st so it will run through end of July.

Low key. No pressure just join in whenever and however works for you. Let me know if you would like to be tag 🎩

I was volunteering at our Pride event today and one of my co-volunteers was wearing this. 😍

It just doesn't get old. It never stops being timeless and iconic. Emma is perhaps sharper, Persuasion more mature, S&S more deeply personal to me...but P&P is the gold standard, the objective best, sparkling, vibrant, emotional, surprising. I just finished it and I already want to read it 50 more times. #PemberLittens

This shirt made me laugh and I think that I need it!

When I saw this sticker, I knew that I needed it for my owala water bottle!

So fun tonight attending the @hallmarkchannel book club discussion of Pride and Prejudice with @hallmarkjennyblog !

The discussions were fantastic and fun. The best part was being able to see the Jane Austen inspired Hallmark movies for #loveuary which start in February!

Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.

Ooh, I‘m so delighted with this adorable, tiny edition of Pride and Prejudice that my parents brought back for me from their fall trip to Portugal! It‘s so cute!!

I know I should love this book. It‘s a classic. But to be honest it really didn‘t hold my attention. I read it for book club at the library or I would have DNF‘d it. I think it was the writing style. Maybe. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This book will forever be a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for me

“You have bewitched me body and soul and I love- I love- I love you. I never want to be parted from you from this day forward.”

(I didn‘t actually check the quote since it‘s practically drilled in my head, so there might be a mistake)

#Pemberlittens I love when I reach this point in the story! Last line of Volume 2, Chapter 19. And then you turn the page to Volume 3, Chapter 1 and to my favorite part of the book.

Reading a copy that has kept the original 3 Volumes and Chapter numbers instead of modernizing to straightforward 61 Chapters really highlights the 3 different parts.

💙💙💙💙💙

Birthday Presents! 3 new copies of Pride and Prejudice. One 1 bought myself. Floral Chiltern edition I bought with Birthday Gift Card. Peacock Cranford edition was a gift from my UK friend Claire. She also sent tea, biscuits, stamps, bookmark, and the cutest little Jane Austen duckie. 🥳

The journey I had through this book was perfectly agreeable and the most fascinating one. I had gone through every emotion through this book. The anticipation, the anger, the blushing. I love this book and don't ask me how much I am controlling myself to not re-read and move on to next book.
This book written in 1800s is still relevant in today's time. There is still a thinking of class, birth and money above all.

My favourite Jane Austen book. ❤️

This made me giggle.
❤️ P&P

NOBODY told me it was coming on this page. Ms. Austen, You have no compassion for my poor nerves 🙂
(In my defence, I was not prepared)

Do you all know about Nerdy Ink? How did I not know about this publisher???!!!! They just popped up in my Insta feed and now I want ALL the special editions! Especially this series of the Austens. Probably a good thing I don‘t have space to actually collect multiple versions of the same volumes or Jane would become an EXTREMELY expensive hobby for me😂🤣
