Old Friends and New Fancies: An Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen | Sybil Brinton

pick

Soft pick. I enjoyed this one - and I especially enjoyed reading it, as always, with the #HashtagBrigade - but I think this book would have benefited from either narrowing its focus or being spread out over multiple books. We have every single character Austen ever thought about creating all milling about, and three different love stories, so it's a lot to jam in. In the end, I wanted to like it more than I did, mainly because I'm not actually ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) convinced that any of the three couples are still going to happy in ten years! 😂 Still, a fun little romp, and kudos to Brinton for managing to work so many of Austen's characters into one story!

Thanks for hosting @BarkingMadRead - reading as a group increases my enjoyment of these books by about 1000%!!!

BarkingMadRead This seems to be the general consensus 🤣🤣 2y

eeclayton I'm especially doubtful about Mary+Fitz. Her passive aggressive way of problem solving may not be conducive to married bliss in the long run. 2y

TheAromaofBooks @eeclayton - For sure. I wish we could have seen a scene of them actually having a conversation about their misunderstandings and working through them. And I just... Kitty as the helpmeet in a parish??? Georgianna, who is sweet and kind but rich and spoiled, as the wife of a seagoing fellow who is gone for months at a time??? None of these really matched up for me 😂 2y

eeclayton While I agree about Kitty, her engagement actually makes sense to me. She was disappointed and then welcomed the first person who was interested in her. That doesn't mean I see happy spouses in the future 😂 It's a great point that all of these conversations take place off-screen. Even with Georgiana+William, we see them meeting, but aren't given what is said. 2y

willaful I actually think it could work for Georgina, because she's used to being the family pet and she'll just keep being that while William's at sea. Kitty I don't see at all. She'll be bored and useless. 2y

Can you believe we have almost reached the mid-year point!?! Thought it was a good time to ask and rethink goals and challenges. Have a great Tuesday!

My answers:
📚 I am doing well on my GoodReads challenge. Not so much on working through my TBR mountain and my #BOTMbacklog.
📚📚 I really want to focus on reading books I already own.
