#Pemberlittens finished this reading Jane Austen this Summer. Missing #chapteraday readalongs. I've still more #Austenesque on my shelves.
Emily of Deep Valley is another old friend.

In honor of this line: "Other poultry-yards in the neighbourhood also suffered. — Pilfering was housebreaking to Mr. Woodhouse‘s fears." we made Rose Lemonade Collins from Drinking with Chickens. ?

pickI'd always seen Emma‘s father as just eccentric character but then I read this article:
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/20/opinion/jane-austens-guide-to-alzheimers.html... "Emma is parenting her parent and has been doing so for quite some time."
And maybe it spoke to me because I know how draining taking care of parent. But it changed my Perspective on Emma.

"But, in spite of these deficiencies, the wishes, the hopes, the confidence, the predictions of the small band of true friends who witnessed the ceremony, were fully answered in the perfect happiness of the union."
And with that last line it's time to put Emma back on the shelf. I have some thoughts about #emmaeveryday I'll be posting later.

panIf a single man ever read this book, it‘s no wonder why generations of men believe that women do nothing but prattle on about useless nonsense. The ending was wholly unbelievable. Out of nowhere Emma suddenly has the capacity to love a man (or anything other than the sound of her own voice)? There is nothing to like here. Pretentious, self important language. Classism from beginning to end with a smattering of racism to top it off.

This week's Farm Flowers looked lovely with this Edition of Emma.
As for Chapter this is where I fall even deeper in love with Knightley: "Such a partner in all those duties and cares to which time must be giving increase of melancholy!" Willing to give up his house for Mr W's sake. ?

This popped up in my Facebook On this Day. Every year I celebrate my Birthday for as many Days as I'm years old. Not about big parties and spending money although I do spend money. Hey it's my Birthday. But more importantly it's taking time every day to enjoy life's little moments. #Pemberlittens are definitely a part of that. I didn't realize we've been at this over a year. It's been a delight. 📚

Did anyone else find the added nosebleed scene weird or was that just me #Pemberlittens @sprainedbrain ❓? ?♀️
"Bear with the truths I would tell you now, dearest Emma, as well as you have borne with them." #emmaeveryday
Mr Weston once again proving me right that men just as big of gossip's as women. Or probably more.
"Oh! — you need not be afraid of owning it to me, for Mr. Weston has told me himself. I met him just now. He told me it was to be a great secret; and, therefore, I should not think of mentioning it to any body but you, but he said you knew it.” ? @sprainedbrain
