pickCompletely lovely YA adaptation of Northanger Abbey with perfect gothic parallels and a sweetly real young love story for our two leading lads. I don't always love a graphic novel but this one captured me, and while it deals with more serious themes than the original (homophobia, racism, poverty, illness), it still feels like an A+ successor to Austen's novel. I have a feeling I'll be coming back to this one. #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow
Northanger May is behind us and Northanger Adaptation June is ahead! I'm going for a re-watch of the 2007 film (they get it so right!), a handful of YA versions (the perfect genre for this one, can't deny it) and a book centered on the flowers and plants in Austen's work. Perfect timing as I get my own garden in gear, and who knows - maybe it'll help me learn to love a hyacinth??
Who else has some adaptations to explore this month?
A graphic novel queer retelling of Northanger Abbey set on a ranch in Texas. Cade Munoz is a horror movie fan with an overactive imagination and a huge crush on the son of his summer employer. So far, so cute.
pickSoft pick for this Northanger Abbey graphic novel retelling but only because it was a bit more YA than I wanted. But I thought the gothic parallels were well done and highlighted the fear of being queer in rural Texas. Cade's Hispanic heritage also added to the feeling of being an outsider. Overall it was a great adaptation of characters and story for a modern time

Loving this graphic novel and this nod to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Well done.
pickLoved this graphic novel that reinterprets Northanger Abbey to modern day small town Texas with queer and bipoc rep.
Was going to take a pic of just the book, but Tilney (who incidentally is named after the male protagonist in OG Northanger) struck a truly awkward half asleep pose that had to be shared with y‘all 😹 #catsoflitsy
pickLoved. It.
Northranger is a gay modern Texan take on Northanger Abbey. There's summer work at a ranch, twins who love each other unconditionally, a spooky house on a lake, family secrets, catastrophic misinterpretations, and two horror-movie fanboys finding their way towards first love.
This looks cute! Libby borrow.
On my hook : Clara shawl in Cewec Tibet (a chainette merino/yak/polyamide). #litsycrafters #crochet #booksandcrochet
