willaful Does a continuation count as a “now“? I'm quite intrigued by 4d
Austen_meets_Annie @willaful we are very much a anything counts group. It's sounds intriguing! 4d

dabbe I'm updating the new #LELH (#LitsyEventsLittleHelper) spreadsheet. Which exact hashtags do you want used for this event, and has your handle changed? I have you currently under #JaneAustenThenAndNow AND #AustenMeetsAnnie.

Here's the spreadsheet to take a look: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xB17c0YZ6-IcngwWteNPyWiwoLn3bvcb7kjtqOLu...

Austen_meets_Annie @dabbe This year's Hashtag is #AustenMeetsAnnie. I changed my handle from Crinoline Laphroaig to @Austen_meets_Annie as well in celebration of my 60s birthday. Jane Austen Then and Now was for last year's book club. Thank you! 3d
dabbe @Austen_meets_Annie Cool! Got it updated, and happy 60th! I just turned 60 this past July. 🩶🤍🖤 3d

It was excellent Emma 'Now' month! Nice mix of classic adaptation, continuation, and modern day retellings. All in the spirit of Jane.

I'm posting a bit early because I've finished all that I had planned for this month.

Persuasion Chapter A Day Readalong starts November 1st! 📖📚🎞

eeclayton This was an unexpectedly good month for me. I watched the Romola Garai series for the first time and loved it. I also rewatched the 2020 Emma and had a minor crush on Johnny Flynn. My Emma-adjacent read was also quite enjoyable 2mo
Austen_meets_Annie @eeclayton I didn't get to Romola series but I do love it. 2mo

I‘m so glad I was able to re-read this Jane Austen classic! It‘s been years and was a delightful listen! Henry Tilley calls Catherine out so many times for her overactive imagination and jumping to conclusions based off of her reading novels! Austen did a great satire on the Gothic novels of her time!

I finished ahead of the #JaneAdjacent readalong and am prepared for Victorian Book Club‘s discussion early next month.

#PemberLittens my April 'NOW' for #JaneAustenThenAndNow.

6 Movie Adaptations
6 #JaneAdjacent Reads.

Tagged Book is Book 3 of Murder on Location Series. I really enjoy this with it's overall love of Jane Austen. Like the coziness of the location. Mystery always keeps me guessing. Also they're not super long. You can finish in a couple of days. Plan to keep reading over the rest of year. 📖🎩🎞

Finished my official 'Now' read, although I read/watched a lot more. (Post to come.) Yes there was a lot of verbatim Pride and Prejudice but overall I found it fun. Particularly loved the additional art work.

I hadn't watched since it first came out. Had forgotten how good it was.

Favorite things:
Matt Smith as Parson Collins
I want boots and thigh holster for cosplay.
And Lizzy. Such a badass. ⚔️🎩🧟‍♂️

Non-traditional mostly Emma retelling with a little bit of Pride and Prejudice thrown in. Library Hold that came in. There's a Wait List for it so I went ahead and read. This graphic novel was gorgeous! I truly believe that Jane Austen is for everyone and this showed that. I appreciated that it gave historical context at the end. 🎩
