I just got done listening to the BBC Mansfield Park. I loved it. One of the narrators was Benedict Cumberbatch. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

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.

Catherine gets a tour of the abbey's interior and surprise, surprise, her imagination starts to run away with her. To be fair, General Tilney is off-putting as hell, but they doesn't mean he's imprisoned his wife in some secret room like Udolpho's Signor Montoni (or legendary emo drama queen Mr. Rochester). Try telling that to Catherine, though! Who needs proof when there's *vibes*?? #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow

Crinoline_Laphroaig Catherine is all if your host is disagreeable he must be a criminal. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 23h

Catherine awakes in the cold light of day to find that her mysterious manuscript is nothing more than a laundry bill. She feels like a total idiot about it (I mean....yeah) but soldiers on to breakfast where we get the one scene with Henry that I hate, where he talks about how valuable it is for a woman to be "teachable" which, barf. The General inserts himself into the ladies' morning walk and generally acts sus as hell the whole time. ?

Crinoline_Laphroaig Hate it when I find the laudry bill. 😄 2d

For my birthday, my friend took me to a Jane Austen picnic!! Everyone was dressed up. There were different Austen inspired activities every hour with scenes from Pride and Prejudice in between. I‘m obsessed with the pink fan I bought too 🩷 I‘m hoping to listen to the audio for Pride & Prejudice this summer and watch all of the adaptions!

Ruthiella How fun! Happy Birthday! 🥳🥳🥳 3d

Catherine is shown to her bedroom and finds it comfortable and relatively cheerful. But then she catches sight of an old trunk and is immediately more suspicious of an inanimate object than any person in history. She immediately opens it and starts to snoop but then has to go to dinner. Afterward it's the quintessential dark and stormy night and she catches sight of a spooky cabinet and pretty much loses her mind. Oh, Catherine.

Watching the 1983 BBC version of Mansfield Park, which is on Prime currently, and I recommend it for three reasons:
1. Angela Pleasence as Lady Bertram does the best portrayal of a vapid, drug addict idle housewife I have ever seen.
2. Fanny, played by Sylvestra Le Touzel, occasionally gets this look on her face that clearly says "Go ahead, keep it up, I am plotting to murder you all with an ax."
3. It follows the book very closely.

Northanger Abbey Day has officially arrived for Catherine! TBH its a little weird because the General is stressing her OUT with all his attention toward her, but at least Cath gets to travel some of the way with Henry! As they drive, he takes the piss and spins her the best Gothic tale of what the Abbey will be like, which she of course takes fully at face value. But then she arrives and is surprised and disappointed to find it all very modern. 😂
