Pride and Prejudice (Vintage Classics Austen Series) | Jane Austen

pick

#2025reads #Pemberlittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig

Every time I read Pride and prejudice it gets better. The first time, I read this as a romance, the second time I saw more from Mrs Bennet‘s point of view, this time I saw it as Elizabeth saw it. One of my favourite scenes this time is the realization Elizabeth goes through to see how she misjudged Darcy. ⬇️

AnishaInkspill The scene that never stops being my favourite is when Elizabeth tells all to Jane. 1d

Crinoline_Laphroaig I love this so much! 1d

AnishaInkspill @Crinoline_Laphroaig ❤️the more I read Jane Austen's work I'd say she has been underestimated, and I have a sense that there is a lot more for me to discover. 15h

OP is obviously ragebaiting, but not gonna lie, I burst out laughing at this response. #PemberLittens

LeahBergen 😆 2d

mcctrish Sweet Jesus, I wouldn‘t be able to let this go 😆 2d

willaful They used to blurb Julia Quinn's books as “our generations Jane Austen“ and I'd see those flames in front of my face.... 2d

Andrea313 @mcctrish Later in the thread, OP said Austen writes "slop" and I *absolutely* saw red. ?? 2d

Andrea313 @willaful Oh dear! Not that I don't love Julia Quinn and some fun escapism but WHAT?? 2d

willaful @Andrea313 “slop“???!!! 😱 😡 ☠ (edited) 2d

Becoming Jane: The Wit and Wisdom of Jane Austen | Anne Newgarden

What have you read/watched this December? Are you done for the year? Or planning a few more?

Such a busy time of year, I wanted to go ahead and post Persuasion 'Now' discussion. Join in whenever you can.

I've got one more watch party scheduled for Becoming Jane. Saved it for December because it's set around holidays.

AnneCecilie Nothing so far, but would love to see Netflix‘s Persuasion, there‘s so many opinions about it 4d

BookishMarginalia Rewatched my fave P&P adaptation, the Colin Firth version 💜 4d

AnishaInkspill I watched the BBC drama of Pride and Prejudice, before reading the novel of which I am almost 2/3 through. It‘s Jane Austen, not sure if it‘s ever possible to finish with Jane Austen. And I‘ll look out for your Persuasion discussion. I'm not sure if you've come across this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvkqlWCgcck , Modern Persuasion, an updated take retold as a romcom. 4d

julieclair @AnishaInkspill I‘m hoping to read that this month! (Or next…. Or at some point in my life… 😂) 3d

peanutnine I'm planning on watching the Netflix adaptation of Persuasion and I have a book retelling on hold. It will probably wait until the new year, I'm deep in holiday reads lol

Give Me a Reason

AnishaInkspill @julieclair 😂 I've been here many times 😂 3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @peanutnine looks fun

Give Me a Reason

Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnishaInkspill vaguely remember Modern Persuasion. I think I've saw it. 2d

The complete novels | Jane Austen

pick

#Pemberlittens now that we have reached the end of Jane Austen of the 6 main novels, what's your ranking? Did it change with this reread?

I had thought mine had stayed the same until I went looking for my thoughts after finishing the original Pemberlittens Readalong. My 5 and 6 swapped this time.⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ Mansfield Park. Reading through older eyes I can no appreciate Fanny Price's quiet strength of character. But The PLAY! as it shall always be known and Edmund‘s prigish ways made it my least favorite this time. And I think this changes with my mood at the time of the reading.⬇️ 5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig 5️⃣ Sense & Sensibility. Marianne's sensibilities wear me out. Elinor has the patience of a saint. Colonel Brandon is what moves it up to 5th place. Although I still think he deserves better than Marianne.

4️⃣ Emma. I've always thought of Emma as loveable snob. Another change that older me notices is how Emma is a caregiver and basically parenting her parent. How that ties her down. And the sacrifices Mr. K makes to keep Mr. Woodhouse happy.⬇️

5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig 3️⃣Persuasion. I definitely didn't get this one as a teenage girl. Now I just find it more and more beautiful every time I read. ⬇️

5d

See All 18 Comments

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ Northanger Abbey. No surprise. My love of Henry Tilney is well documented. I just find Northanger Abbey to be such a fun read. Youthful, charming and it's a book about books. And it has my favorite Jane Austen quote of all time: “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid."⬇️
5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig 1️⃣ Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Darcy! Pemberley! And it taught teenage me to be Obstinate Headstrong Girl.

TheBookHippie Oh!! I‘ll make a post! Soon. 5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @TheBookHippie I'm excited to see everyone's rankings. 5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig Ooh I was actually able to find my ranking from original Litsy Pemberlittens Readalong! https://litsy.com/p/RDBTNllNbWhx 5d

AmyG Gorgeous set. 5d

Bookwormjillk Thanks for hosting the re-read this year. Emma used to be my favorite now it's Persuasion. 5d

willaful I think Persuasion may now be in 4th place instead of fifth. 5d

AnishaInkspill that's a really gorgeous set, and wonderful insights of how you now relate to these, I'll get mines together and post, thanks for pulling this together. 5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnishaInkspill @willaful @Bookwormjillk @AmyG it's just been a delight! 4d

SarahBookInterrupted @AmyG I was thinking the same thing. Beautiful 🤩 4d

julieclair Great question! As I didn‘t get to reread all of them, I can‘t definitely rank them. 😕 But Pride & Prejudice remains #1 for me (always will, I suspect.) I appreciate Northanger Abbey and Sense and Sensibility more than formerly, and Emma has moved down the list… probably to spot #5 or even #6, which actually surprises me quite a bit! 3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair Pride and Prejudice! 3d
