repost for @Crinoline_Laphroaig:

#Pemberlittens last #JaneAdjacent Book Club read of 2024
#JaneAustenThenAndNow begins in January.

When choosing books for #12MonthsOfJane I knew Yuletide was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. And I love that it benefits Chawton Great House. Grab your copy and enjoy over the festive season. Discussion Post will be up December 30th.

#Pemberlittens last #JaneAdjacent Book Club read of 2024‼️ #JaneAustenThenAndNow begins in January.

When choosing books for #12MonthsOfJane I knew Yuletide was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the busy holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. And I love that it benefits Chawton Great House. Grab your copy and enjoy over the festive season. Discussion Post will be up December 30th. 🎁

repost for @Crinoline_Laphroaig:

12/16/2025 is 250 Anniversary of Jane Austen's Birth. I wanted to do something special for #JaneAdjacent Book Club.

Thought to harken back to beginnings of Pemberlittens when @sprainedbrain brought us together to read Jane Austen.

One month will read Original. Next you choose a retelling, graphic novel, or watch a movie. Tag @Crinoline_Laphroaig #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow so we can find your posts.

#Pemberlittens It's time for #JaneAdjacent Book Club. My answers:
1️⃣ Print Copy. I wanted a Northanger Abbey retelling for this month. November just seems the perfect time
for Northanger Abbey. Cover caught my eye. I just love it! Didn't realize the setting is November. Or that it was Time Travel.

2️⃣ I really liked Mr Austen in the past story.

3️⃣ Love a Book Fair!

⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ ‘Oh, you like Jane Austen…..
Yes I believe many men do, though some people think she's an author just for girls, I suppose.

Unbelievable, Who on earth would think like that?‘

5️⃣ You had me at biscuits. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ This is from my Goodreads Review of The Mysteries of Udolfo:
‘I was so happy to hear The End…..
Apparently there weren't Editors in 1794 when this was published. It rambles on and on and on. I could only take so much of the Histrionics. I would bail for a while. Finally I can get this 31 h 15 m 42 s mess off my phone.‘ ⬇️

3w
Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣ I found the notes about the Rice Portrait of Jane Austen interesting. I've seen the image countless times, but didn't realize that it may be Jane Austen herself. 3w

😮 #JaneAdjacent BookClub is down to 2 books! Never fear #PemberLittens I have a plan. Working out few things and then will let you know.

Searching for Mr Tilney by Jane Odiwe
Is November's Novel. (Yes that's a nod to Northanger Abbey.) I'm excited because I adore Henry Tilney.

Read at your own pace. Discussion Post will be up November 30th. And as always let me know if you want to be tagged or removed from tag. #12monthsofjane

julieclair Looking forward to hearing your plan! 😃 2mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair I'll try and get a graphic/ signup posted tomorrow. 2mo

Pemberlittens It's time for #JaneAdjacent. My answers:
1️⃣ First read. Print copy. First Impression - overly wordy. Everything is described in great detail. As member of Fictional Hangover https://www.fictionalhangover.com/ Vampire Book Club, I've read quite a few Vampire books. This is by far one of the worst.
⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ Annie was the only character with any sense. Elizabeth was just so accepting of everything. As a reader of Pride and Prejudice, I'm supposed to just believe no one noticed Darcy avoids sunrise/sunset and barely eats?
3️⃣ Darcy turning into a bat hilarious.

4️⃣ I had a quote marked but I've lost it. Honestly can't be bothered to go back and find.

5️⃣ Paris has Pain au Chocolat. ⬇️
2mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig 6️⃣ Bad enough that nothing happened for over 200 pages. Just Darcy and Elizabeth traveling around Europe. But the Indian Jones scene and the 'Wait! True Loves Kiss can turn you back human!' had me rolling my eyes.

7️⃣ I was so glad to finish this book. #12monthsofjane @julieclair @SarahBookInterrupted @willaful @mctrish @LitsyEvents @Julsmarshall @DebinHawaii

Crinoline_Laphroaig @SarahBookInterrupted there was moment I almost Bailed and told everyone 'Don't Bother.' But my friend Claire, who joins in on Instagram had finished it. So I felt I should too, if just so we could talk about how bad it was. 😆 2mo
julieclair I decided to skip this one because I just couldn‘t deal with the idea of Mr. Darcy as a vampire.🧛 Looks like I made a good choice! Although…. Sometimes discussing a really bad book together can be so much fun. 😆🙃 2mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair So true! My friend Claire and I had many chats about this one! 2mo
