#Pemberlittens It's time for #JaneAdjacent discussion! @julieclair @SarahBookInterrupted @willaful @mctrish @LitsyEvents
@Julsmarshall @DebinHawaii

@SarahBookInterrupted @JenlovesJT47
My answers:
1️⃣ Reread. I first read several years ago and have often revisited. When choosing books, I knew was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the busy holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ Continuations and Filling in the Gaps. I don't like when Jane's original stories are tampered with. I prefer the Regency Period but make it different. I feel like Modern Day Retellings are the hardest, especially Pride and Prejudice. A woman isn't going to starve in the hedgerows these days because they didn't get married.

3️⃣ Anne de Bourgh is definitely plotting and or waiting for when she inherits Rosings Park to go absolutely wild. ⬇️
3w
Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ Mistletoe Mismanagement by Elizabeth Adams. I love seeing Elizabeth and Darcy happy together at Pemberley.

5️⃣ I have 3. Inspiration for book:
"I went up to the Great House between three and four, and dawdled away an hour very comfortably.” Jane wrote in a letter to her sister Cassandra.⬇️

3w
Crinoline_Laphroaig “No, dear, they are coming with us to Rosings. I need all these books if we are to spend a fortnight there,” Elizabeth replied. - By A Lady by Lona Manning

“Really? You can march against Napoleon, but you cannot find a way to talk to a lady in your cousin‘s home? I fear for England!” Mistletoe Mismanagement by Elizabeth Adams

6️⃣ Lady Catherine. At least could escape and walk the gardens of Rosing.⬇️
3w

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣. I love that these stories edited by
have proceeds benefiting Chawton Great House. The former home of Jane Austen's brother Edward and is now the Centre for the Study of Early Women's Writing. Just a short walk from Chawton Cottage a place Jane often visited.⬇️
3w
Crinoline_Laphroaig And that's a wrap on 2024! Join me in January for #JaneAustenThenAndNow Book Club celebrating the 250th Anniversary of Jane Austen's Birth when we read Sensibility and Sensibility. I'll be back later with more details.

3w
julieclair 1️⃣ First read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I listened on audio while in the car, and the short story format was perfect. 3w
julieclair 2️⃣ Continuations and Filling in the gaps, for the same reason you stated. Jane‘s original stories are sacrosanct. I do enjoy modern settings, though. 3w
julieclair I didn‘t really have a favorite story - I enjoyed them all. And I didn‘t write down any favorite quotes because I was driving, but I remember laughing out loud at the Napoleon quote you referenced above! 😂 3w
julieclair 6️⃣ Mrs. Bennet for sure. I have known several people in my life just like her, and have learned to tune them out! 🙉😂 3w
julieclair 7️⃣ I agree… I love that the proceeds benefit Chawton Great House. I actually plan to purchase a physical copy because of that. 3w
julieclair What a fun reading year we have had together! Thanks for hosting, and picking such great books. I‘m excited for #JaneAustenThenAndNow ! 💙😃💙 3w
julieclair @mcctrish (correcting the spelling in the tag list above) 😘 3w
Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair so much fun! And this was great one to end 2024 on 2w

repost for @Crinoline_Laphroaig:

#Pemberlittens last #JaneAdjacent Book Club read of 2024
#JaneAustenThenAndNow begins in January.

When choosing books for #12MonthsOfJane I knew Yuletide was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. And I love that it benefits Chawton Great House. Grab your copy and enjoy over the festive season. Discussion Post will be up December 30th.

repost for @Crinoline_Laphroaig:

12/16/2025 is 250 Anniversary of Jane Austen's Birth. I wanted to do something special for #JaneAdjacent Book Club.

Thought to harken back to beginnings of Pemberlittens when @sprainedbrain brought us together to read Jane Austen.

One month will read Original. Next you choose a retelling, graphic novel, or watch a movie. Tag @Crinoline_Laphroaig #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow so we can find your posts.

#Pemberlittens It's time for #JaneAdjacent Book Club. My answers:
1️⃣ Print Copy. I wanted a Northanger Abbey retelling for this month. November just seems the perfect time
for Northanger Abbey. Cover caught my eye. I just love it! Didn't realize the setting is November. Or that it was Time Travel.

2️⃣ I really liked Mr Austen in the past story.

3️⃣ Love a Book Fair!

⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ ‘Oh, you like Jane Austen…..
Yes I believe many men do, though some people think she's an author just for girls, I suppose.

Unbelievable, Who on earth would think like that?‘

5️⃣ You had me at biscuits. ⬇️
2mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ This is from my Goodreads Review of The Mysteries of Udolfo:
‘I was so happy to hear The End…..
Apparently there weren't Editors in 1794 when this was published. It rambles on and on and on. I could only take so much of the Histrionics. I would bail for a while. Finally I can get this 31 h 15 m 42 s mess off my phone.‘ ⬇️

2mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ I found the notes about the Rice Portrait of Jane Austen interesting. I've seen the image countless times, but didn't realize that it may be Jane Austen herself. 2mo

😮 #JaneAdjacent BookClub is down to 2 books! Never fear #PemberLittens I have a plan. Working out few things and then will let you know.

Searching for Mr Tilney by Jane Odiwe
Is November's Novel. (Yes that's a nod to Northanger Abbey.) I'm excited because I adore Henry Tilney.

Read at your own pace. Discussion Post will be up November 30th. And as always let me know if you want to be tagged or removed from tag. #12monthsofjane

julieclair Looking forward to hearing your plan! 😃 3mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair I'll try and get a graphic/ signup posted tomorrow. 3mo
