The plan was to read two chapters a day, but then I came to the point where I know Lady Catherine de Bourgh will arrive and then there‘s my favourite scene, so I just had to read on

This Austen novel will always have a special place in my heart since it‘s the first one I read after watching the BBC series

I think this is the 1st time I‘ve been thinking that Charlotte didn‘t make so a bad choice after all. Because she could have married a Wickham

Bookwormjillk Anyone looks good compared to a Wickham! 13h

Whoops, I accidentally finished the rest of this in one fell swoop! Not surprising, since it's one of the best books ever written and I never stop delighting in it- witty and sparkling with depth and soul. Miss me with any accusations of "cringe" - this book is endlessly beautiful and I am so much better for loving it. #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow

willaful “Cringe“? WTF?! 3d
Andrea313 @willaful Isn't any emotional profession utterly cringe these days? 😉 I'm mainly joking around, as I know I'm talking to kindreds on this one. 3d
bookishbitch I love these Chiltern books. They are so beautiful. 3d

#PemberLittens I've been a bit offline for March because my Mr Darcy turned 60! How did that happen? His Birthday Wishes: to putter about in his workshop (which we've named The Putterage), weekend trip to Texas Pinball Festival, and Hummingbird Cake. He has a couple more days of Staycation. Currently he is happily changing the oil in lawn mower. He works a stressful job, mowing is his therapy. 🥳
#JaneAustenThenAndNow

Crinoline_Laphroaig And while he's never read Jane Austen(he's more a read technical manual sort of guy) he has watched all the Pride and Prejudice Adaptations with me. When I mentioned I planned on watching 1940s P & P movie he hrumphed and said it wasn't accurate. 😄 5d

Ch. 43/44: To Pemberly, therefore, they went and the housekeeper raves about Darcy, singing his praises like she's in church. Suddenly the man himself appears and Lizzy is *mortified*. But he's...chill about it? And also civil and solicitous and generous, and he wants Lizzy to meet Georgiana?!?! Lizzy can't make sense of it, and the next day he does show up with Georgie in tow, offering more kindness and a dinner invitation. Could it be...love?

eeclayton I love how Austen implies that it's pretty obvious to everyone but Elizabeth 😁 6d
Andrea313 @eeclayton Exactly! I love that the Gardiners immediately know what's up. 6d
Crinoline_Laphroaig I just love The Gardiners! @Andrea313 @eeclayton 5d

AnneCecilie Cary. I‘m about to start the book by Tiller. The Women‘s Prize for Nonfiction Shortlist is announced on Wednesday so my read after the Tiller book might be inspired by that or by the fiction shortlist that is announced on April 2. 7d

"To Pemberly, therefore, they were to go."

Is there any better cliffhanger?! The excitement always rushes up for me at this moment; this line, placed on its own after all the conversation and activity of the last two chapters, sets the stage with so much anticipation. I don't care if it's hyperbole, I still find it thrilling. #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow

Crinoline_Laphroaig PEMBERLEY!!! Whenever I get to this line, it's times to binge read. 1w

Ch.37-40: OK, I know this meme is about shit that went down several chapters ago but it's just too good! Plus, much of the action since has centered on the fallout: how Elizabeth reconciles Darcy's side of the story, how and when she tells Jane about it, and how it affects her conduct with Wickham when they inevitably meet again. Also, Lydia is on a tear about how badly she wishes she could follow the regiment to Brighton (foreshadowing!).

bookandbedandtea 😂 Excellent meme! 1w
Andrea313 @bookandbedandtea Honestly, God bless the internet (sometimes). 😂 1w
bookandbedandtea @Andrea313 Sometimes is right! 😒 But this is one of those times. 1w

Ch.35/36: A letter from Darcy to Elizabeth! He comes clean about his role in the Bingley/Jane affair and gives the other side of the story on Wickham- and it's *full* of high drama. Lizzy is reeling upon reading Darcy's side of things but admits to herself that she was wrong on both counts. Here's my question for you, #PemberLittens: now that the Wickham backstory has come out, who do you think is the worse Austen rogue- Wickham or Willoughby?

bookandbedandtea I don't like the idea of giving Willoughby any credit but I do think Wickham is worse. He goes from one *very* young lady to another, attempting to get control of their money. (I know they were considered (just) old enough to marry but, as a pattern, it's icky. And he doesn't seem to try to hide it. When he turns his attentions to Miss King, Lizzy is aware that it's all about her money & doesn't seem too bothered. Which has always bothered me. 2w
Crinoline_Laphroaig I always lean towards Willoughby as worse because he left a young woman pregnant. Although I'm sure Wickham would have done that as well. 2w
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig I agree that Willoughby is worse. He not only seduced a young woman, he abandoned her in her pregnancy, too. But Wickham is vile, no doubt! Jane really gave us some noxious characters with these two, some top-tier fuckboys. 2w
bookandbedandtea @Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig I can't/ won't defend Willoughby as I think he's a terrible person who was selfish, thoughtless, and careless. But Wickham still seems worse to me because his actions towards various young ladies were premeditated and predatory. 1w

Ch. 33/34: After running into Darcy repeatedly during walks at Rosings, Lizzy finally runs into Col. Fitzwilliam instead. He brags about Darcy having saved a friend (Bingley) from a marriage to some trash lady (Jane), and Elizabeth is rightfully incensed. Then Darcy barges in with one of the worst proposals ever written. Every time I read it, I marvel that he ever redeems himself because this proposal is St-John-from-Jane-Eyre levels of offensive.
