Yesterday was grey, warm, and rainy; today was sunny, breezy, and cooler. There are a lot of secret engagements and presumed engagements in this book. I‘m liking it. #audiowalk

Definitely the tagged book at 1811! Not my favorite Austen, but it was also my introduction to her work so I‘m glad I read it! 💛

This might be controversial but I had to read this for Literature and it was the only book in my high school career that I just couldn‘t do… I just didn‘t like it at all.
Made it halfway and gave up.

I absolutely adore Ang Lee‘s 1995 adaptation with Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant & Alan Rickman tho…

BookmarkTavern Totally get that, it‘s not one of my favorite Austen books. Thank you for sharing! 9mo
SpellboundReader Oh no! That's the only Austen novel I have left to read. 😬 9mo
CarolynM I‘m with you. Didn‘t like the book enough to finish it, quite enjoyed the film. 9mo

batsy I didn't like S&S all that much in the past; it was my least favourite. But it has slowly become one of my favourites after I read the annotated version some years ago. Can't quite explain how a book transforms upon rereading that way 🙂 I adore the movie, too. So good! 9mo
Graywacke I‘ve only seen that 1995 movie, which is fantastic. 🙂 Haven‘t read it… 9mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Graywacke, I‘d say that‘s an excellent life choice! 9mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @batsy, I‘ve never tried an annotated version of a book. Love that you came back to it and found it better, I definitely believe that you can come across a book at the wrong time. 9mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, my poor opinion of the book has proved less controversial than I expected 🤣 9mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @BeeCurious, reading it in high school probably wasn‘t the optimal time for it - never fear you might love it (or at least not loathe it) 9mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @BookmarkTavern, it was a fun question! I was going to say Princess Bride but I haven‘t read the book 🤣 (edited) 9mo

#MotivationalMonday
@Cupcake12

1. I hope to take a long walk every day with the pups, to continue cleaning and decluttering my house, to organize my #LitsyLove stuff and get caught up with my pen pal letters, and to practice gratitude each day.
2. The I-don't-know-what-in-the-hell-is-going-on book THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, and THE HOUSE AT RIVERTON.
3. introverted, sassy (how I'm feeling today anyway!)

Cupcake12 Good luck with your plans this week x 10mo

I must admit this is the first Jane Austen book I‘ve ever read. I did enjoy it, though I do wish smacking some of these men over the head with a large book was possible. #AuthoraMonth

Texreader 😂😂 I‘m reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time and I‘m surprised I like it. Definitely there are people in this one who need a good smacking as well! 11mo
Soubhiville I agree! I‘m also reading P&P (my first Austen) and some smacking might improve some attitudes! 😆 @Texreader 11mo
CatLass007 Okay, sexist comment coming, but when in history don‘t men need smacking over the head with a book? @Soubhiville @Texreader (edited) 11mo

First finish of #FabulousFebruary - I couldn‘t resist finishing when the chapter for the day ended with the sudden arrival of Willoughby! Not my favorite Austen, but still very good, and only slightly confused by reading Wuthering Heights and a book of essays about Austen and her various works, and watching the BBC Pride and Prejudice all at the same time. 😆 Thanks to @BarkingMadRun for hosting! #PemberLittens

BarkingMadRead Omg i really wanted to keep going as well! 3y

In general I like Colonel Brandon (I find Edward Ferrars something of a dishrag, so Brandon is definitely preferable), but this is decidedly creepy. This 35-year-old man comes over every day to stare at a seventeen-year-old twit? Not cool, Brando. Not cool.

I have decided to join in on the #pemberlittens reread of Sense and Sensibility. My edition, although not outwardly pretty, is beautiful inside with illustrations, essays, and a lot of helpful info about Jane‘s world. I‘m going to read the chapter a day along with the group but also read the extras in my edition. @BarkingMadRun

Crazeedi What a lovely book! 3y

Sense & Sensibility has always been my favorite Austen movie adaption (Emma Thompson, amiright?) but this is the first time I‘ve read the book. I think it might be even better than the movie! The surprising funny moments, Eleanor‘s long suffering eyerolls, and Marianne as her foil. It‘s such a wonderful book.

Do any of my fellow #Pemberlittens sew? I found this pretty dress pattern and there is even an option for a step by step online class. I‘m going to go for it! If I ever go to Austenland, I‘ll be ready. Anyone want to join me? We could post progress and help each other out along the way.

This was my 3rd time reading this, but the last time was 9 yrs ago. I found myself caught up in the story even though I know the characters and the plot so well. Austen's writing never fails to pull me in completely. I‘ve always loved the sisters‘ relationship because my own sister and I are also very different, but love each other so much.

“Elinor agreed to it all, for she did not think he deserved the
compliment of rational opposition.”

Thus us a reread, so I decided to do an audio this time. I think I appreciated it more now than when I did years ago. The horribleness of certain characters stands out so much more, the flaws of others as well. I'm pretty sure I could not have been so polite as Elinor when dealing with some of them. Overall enjoyable. #pemberlittens
