Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing: A Play | Tomson Highway

I got an amazing deal on ground pork this morning, so I went to the library to borrow my favourite cookbook and ended up grabbing a couple short story collections off their feature display plus a play by Tomson Highway. #MFMarch

The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro | Pierre-Augustin Beaumarchais

22-3 Feb 25
One of Polly‘s IB literature book so quickly read whilst she was home for the weekend. It was fun and frivolous. I believe I saw the opera 20 years ago. All a bit silly and I now realise I probably should have read The Barber of Seville first.

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: A Book-to-Table Classic | Jane Austen

It's well established in the book that Mrs Bennett was a beauty "in her youth" so this illustration made me laugh. At the time of the novel she'd likely be 45 at most (probably closer to 40) yet this artist chose to make her look a great deal older. ?

KadaGul I think 🤔 at the time, 40 seemed like 90🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm really noticing now that at 58 I'm older than all the 'old' characters. 😄 2d

bookandbedandtea @KadaGul Right! I used to think it was due to the lower life expectancy but then I learned that number is due to the high rate of childhood death. Once a person reached adulthood there was every reason to think they'd live into old age so the view of people Mrs Bennet's age being old still strikes me as weird. 🤔 2d

bookandbedandtea @Crinoline_Laphroaig Same! I'm 56 and it's always a bit of a shock to realize that some old person in a book is a good deal younger than I am! 🤦‍♀️😆 2d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Deblovestoread I didn't get to 2008 mini series. 😢 5d

AnneCecilie @Deblovestoread I watched the same ones. I‘m so happy about I got to rewatch these 5d

julieclair Starting this one tonight (Where did February go???)

Jane of Austin: A Novel of Sweet Tea and Sensibility

Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnneCecilie it's pure comfort. 5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair I know! Suddenly it's Spring. 5d

peanutnine I read the tagged because I love murder mysteries! It was excellent and I think true to the spirit of the original. I also watched the 1995 film, which is a favorite. I didn't know about a mini series! I'll have to check it out

Sense and Second-Degree Murder

CaramelLunacy @peanutnine I just finished Sense and Second Degree Murder as well. I had a good time with the investigations, and especially Margaret gathering material for her horrid novels! 4d

CaramelLunacy I watched the movie From Prada to Nada, a contemporary retelling where Nora and Mary are spoiled rich girls in Beverly Hills and have to move in with a working class aunt when they lose their father. I had a good time, though Mary was so horrid at the beginning I had a hard time with her redemption. The big gesture at the end was utterly ridiculous, but the romantic in me went awwwww anyway! 4d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy if it makes you happy that's what matters. Sounds like a fun movie. 4d

peanutnine @CaramelLunacy yes Margaret was an unexpectedly delightful character! 4d
