#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. 🎩

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single, space-faring man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

#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

Miss Austen | Gill Hornby

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.

Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair I know! Suddenly it's Spring. 2mo

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

2mo

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! 2mo

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! 2mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy if it makes you happy that's what matters. Sounds like a fun movie. 2mo

peanutnine @CaramelLunacy yes Margaret was an unexpectedly delightful character! 2mo

Currently Sense and Sensibility is the current novel to read along with adaptations.

Looking ahead, March and April will be dedicated to Pride and Prejudice!
