Juliet Tilney and Jonathan Darcy are each sent to London by their parents to expand their social connections and if they find a match so much the better as long as it‘s not each other. Of course murder happens and they are again called into help the investigation. I‘m really enjoying this series and glad to know there willl be at least 2 more.

Thank you #NetGalley!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pleasant enough retelling of Pride and Prejudice, set in modern day East Hampton. It was fine, although Elizabeth was more neurotic and Darcy less charming than the original. On its own this is pretty forgettable but I do love P&P, and so probably liked this more than I would have otherwise. Soft pick.

Storm Haus Publishing sent me this amazing box of books and goodies. I love that all the books are variations of Pride and Prejudice.

I love love loved this book! Second book by this author and I really enjoy her style of Jane Austen‘s retellings. I will read her next book when it is available- Also i really felt like i was out on Suffolk County Long island. Soooo good.

#arcreader fangirl moment! NetGalley sent me an email inviting me to read this, and I‘m finally able to start it!

I loved the 1st in the series, but this one was a stretch for me. Setting something in Austen‘s world comes with certain rules in my mind. Bringing modern day issues into it took me right out of the story. Also, no one would never kiss in a group when they were technically colleagues. There are elements I enjoyed but it felt like an exhausting read & it should be a fun one. I would like to read more of the Dashwood sisters & will read that book.

Finished this one for #Pemberlittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow It‘s the 2nd book in the For the Love of Austen series & was an enjoyable retelling of Pride and Prejudice—I think I might have liked it even better than their take on Emma. . I loved the beach town setting & what the authors‘ did with the characters—making Mary a passionate environmentalist was perfect. And we got to spend time with Emma & Knightly too. Fun!

For tonight‘s #HyggeHour I‘ll be reading Mouse House for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 & with the remaining time, more of the tagged book for #JaneAustenThenAndNow

I‘m drinking pineapple lemonade (it‘s humid tonight) & having some of this lemon cake bomb that I got at the bakery near the bookstore on Saturday. 😋🍋💛

Mood is tired & not ready for Monday at all. I‘ll be heading to Kona very early tomorrow. 😵‍💫

🎞 1940s P & P. I could let it go that the clothes and hair are all wrong, if they hadn't cut so much of the story. It made Elizabeth and Darcy falling in love come out of nowhere.

It's been a long time since I rewatched the complete Masterpiece Theatre 1980 P & P that introduced teenage me to Jane Austen. I liked Elizabeth! Had forgotten how uptight Darcy was in this one. ⬇️

The first book from these authors, an adaptation of Emma, was an unexpectedly fun and enjoyable read for me and I'd really been looking forward to this P&P companion. I'm happy to say that it didn't disappoint! I loved the characterization of the Bennet sisters here and the Lydia/Wickham twist was a fun play on the original. The potential for both a Persuasion and S&S set in the same world is teased here, and i hope we get them- I'd read eagerly!
