The 26th of November
The 26th of November: A Pride and Prejudice Comedy of Farcical Proportions | Elizabeth Adams
5 posts | 3 read | 7 to read
The Netherfield Ball: Classic. Predictable. Immortalized. But, what if Elizabeth were forced to relive it over and over and over again? Night after night after night? Elizabeth: Clever. Witty. Confident. Suddenly, her confusion and desperation make her question things she long thought she knew. Mr. Darcy: Proud. Unapproachable. Bad tempered. In this world where nothing is as it seems, Elizabeth must learn to see through new eyes. Including a man she thought she hated. Let the hilarity ensue.

I found out about this “Groundhog Day” version of Pride & Prejudice on Litsy. I‘ve read a lot of retellings & really liked this one. Elizabeth has to repeat the day of the Netherfield Ball, but she doesn‘t know why. Her attempts to change the events of the ball are funny.

Elizabeth Bennet is stuck in a loop repeating the day of the Netherfield Ball. As she resets each morning she finds herself desperate to solve the problems of Mr. Bingley leaving, her family‘s embarrassing behavior & Collin's unwanted proposal. I loved her interactions with Darcy. They were definitely the best part & gave us a chance to see that relationship grow deeper. A quick fun read to start off the year celebrating Austen's 250th birthday!

BkClubCare OoooOOO this would fit a category of “Month in Title” that I am at a loss to fill. TY! 6mo
AvidReader25 @BkClubCare and it‘s perfect for Austen‘s birthday this year! It‘s a quick read too. 6mo

So I really wanted to participate in the #200PnPcovers photo challenge with @CrowCAH and @mabell but I'm kind of terrible at photo challenges. Over the weekend I was halfheartedly shuffling through my bookshelves trying to think of books that would match the prompts when I was struck with inspiration. I have definitely read more than 31 P&P **variations** so what if I matched a variation with each prompt?? Some of been great, some of have been ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) terrible, but I am going to take you all through a ride in the P&P variation world 😂

Today's prompt is #Balls so it seemed appropriate to start with a variation I thoroughly enjoyed last year - a mashup of P&P and Groundhog Day, with Elizabeth forced to relive the day of the Netherfield Ball over and over. A bit silly but a great deal of fun.

P&P with a splash of Groundhog Day!! Elizabeth has to keep living the day of the Netherfield Ball over & over. I loved seeing her face some facts about her perspectives & some of her attempts to get out of the cycle were quite entertaining. Lighthearted & fun, I really enjoyed this one. Darcy doesn't live the same day, but we do get his perspective at the end - a little repetitive but still entertaining.

galueth28 This looks really fun, adding to mt stack. 4y
CoffeeK8 This sounds fun! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @galueth28 @CoffeeK8 - It's not a very long or angsty read, just some fluff with a fun little concept. I really enjoyed it!! 4y

Clare-Dragonfly This does sound like fun! Is this one of the Kindle Unlimited ones? 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly - Yes, it is! And when I was checking out KU to see if I wanted to get it for a month, there was a deal to get the month for 99 cents, so you may see if that's available for you! Also, I've read several of this author's books & most of them have been pretty solid. 4y
Clare-Dragonfly @TheAromaofBooks No 99c deal for me. Just $30 for 6 months and I‘m not willing to spend that much. 😭 I might break down and spend the $3 for A Contrary Wind, though. It just sounds so interesting! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly - So lame!!!! I've been on a P&P variation binge so I'm getting my 99c worth! 😂 4y
