Welcome to Litsy!

Obstinate, headstrong girl!" - Chapter 56

#FlashbackFriday of one of my many t-shirts with this quote. There is no greater compliment you can give a Janeite. Elizabeth standing up for herself inspired me as a teenager to have the courage to stand up for myself. I so love this chapter. ?????

We are still away on holiday so my #5joysfriday is extra again 1. I shopped at a UK store I follow on line and bought myself a beautiful pale blue cashmere short sleeved sweater 2. I saw my first “Hairy Coo” 3. I finished Perils with the #pemberlittens gang ❤️ I loved the book and this group 4. Tea time 5. I made it to Dunvegan Castle, ancestral seat of Clan McLeod, my people #holdfast

Reading along with @peanutnine and the #Pemberlittens group was a lot of fun. This was a great mystery and I liked the twist that the victim hadn‘t yet been killed. I love our two leads and can‘t wait to read more about them.

Catching up on reviews. Finished this last week with the #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade @BarkingMadRead
Overall I enjoyed this. I remember trying to read it when I was 10 or so but I couldn't connect with the characters. I felt I could appreciate it more as an adult. I liked the character growth throughout the story, seeing them mature and finding their own paths (even if my inner feminist balked at certain life choices) Now to watch the movie(s)

"No, no, let me shift for myself; and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time." Chapter 55

At this point in the story I'm tempted to finish but I'm making myself stick to Chapter A Day Readalong. ?

"Yet it is hard," she sometimes thought, "that this poor man cannot come to a house which he has legally hired, without raising all this speculation! I will leave him to himself." - Chapter 53

Mr. Bingley is back and he's brought a friend. Lots going on today, so I made time this morning to sit with my cup of tea and chapter.? ??

"Elizabeth had the satisfaction of receiving an answer to her letter as soon as she possibly could. She was no sooner in possession of it than, hurrying into the little copse, where she was least likely to be interrupted, she sat down on one of the benches and prepared to be happy; for the length of the letter convinced her that it did not contain a denial." - Chapter 52

I thank you for my share of the favour," said Elizabeth; "but I do not particularly like your way of getting husbands." Chapter 51

Time for tea and a chapter. ???

"He has given in all his debts; I hope at least he has not deceived us." Chapter 50

Letters continue as Mr. Gardiner sorts out all the details.

Also look at this beautiful bouquet I bought this morning at the Farmers' Market. That sunflower! Yellow makes me happy. Plus I love the contrast of purple zinnia.?????
