Murder at Donwell Abbey | Vanessa Kelly

It was excellent Emma 'Now' month! Nice mix of classic adaptation, continuation, and modern day retellings. All in the spirit of Jane.

I'm posting a bit early because I've finished all that I had planned for this month.

Persuasion Chapter A Day Readalong starts November 1st! 📖📚🎞

eeclayton This was an unexpectedly good month for me. I watched the Romola Garai series for the first time and loved it. I also rewatched the 2020 Emma and had a minor crush on Johnny Flynn. My Emma-adjacent read was also quite enjoyable 2w
Crinoline_Laphroaig @eeclayton I didn't get to Romola series but I do love it. 2w

I‘m so glad I was able to re-read this Jane Austen classic! It‘s been years and was a delightful listen! Henry Tilley calls Catherine out so many times for her overactive imagination and jumping to conclusions based off of her reading novels! Austen did a great satire on the Gothic novels of her time!

I finished ahead of the #JaneAdjacent readalong and am prepared for Victorian Book Club‘s discussion early next month.

#PemberLittens my April 'NOW' for #JaneAustenThenAndNow.

6 Movie Adaptations
6 #JaneAdjacent Reads.

Tagged Book is Book 3 of Murder on Location Series. I really enjoy this with it's overall love of Jane Austen. Like the coziness of the location. Mystery always keeps me guessing. Also they're not super long. You can finish in a couple of days. Plan to keep reading over the rest of year. 📖🎩🎞

Finished my official 'Now' read, although I read/watched a lot more. (Post to come.) Yes there was a lot of verbatim Pride and Prejudice but overall I found it fun. Particularly loved the additional art work.

I hadn't watched since it first came out. Had forgotten how good it was.

Favorite things:
Matt Smith as Parson Collins
I want boots and thigh holster for cosplay.
And Lizzy. Such a badass. ⚔️🎩🧟‍♂️

Non-traditional mostly Emma retelling with a little bit of Pride and Prejudice thrown in. Library Hold that came in. There's a Wait List for it so I went ahead and read. This graphic novel was gorgeous! I truly believe that Jane Austen is for everyone and this showed that. I appreciated that it gave historical context at the end. 🎩

#PemberLittens we're half through April and I'm just starting my 'Now' #JaneAdjacent read. Morning low of 42F/6C was excuse to read a few chapters by the fire. Have read other books and watched 2 movie versions. Will share those as well. How's your reading going? #JaneAustenThenAndNow

CaramelLunacy I just finished watching a terrible retelling/adaptation called Becoming Ms. Bennet in which an American vlogger is cast as Lizzy Bennet in a production of P&P and the main conflict is her terrible British accent (and insistence on vlogging disparaging comments about her costar). I am about to start 7mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy will definitely skip! 7mo

Sisters was my theme for Sense and Sensibility 'Now'. Relationship between Marianne and Elinor is such an important part of the original that I wanted stories that reflected that.

3X reading Miss Austen and I loved it just as much as the first. Can't wait for the show to be available in the States. Definitely in the spirit of Austen. It was my main read managed to finish a lot more.
