My favorite very Summer themed would be Jane Austen‘s goes to Hollywood and Elizabeth of East Hampton
pickI am currently about an hour south of Hollywood! I loved this version of Sense and Sensibility! A really fun retelling with some original storylines as well as still recognizable to Austen fans.
#Pemberlittens another one for Northanger Abbey Now. It's Henry and Catherine's daughter and Elizabeth and Darcys son solving crime. I need to read my ARC before June 17 release.

panAs always Austen has masterful character and symbolic work, but Fanny felt a bit too much of an abused victim, that let's themselves get walked all over by others, but deep inside they have strong opinions(tm).
It's not that a meek character cannot be interesting, its that on top of ot all Fanny is very judgemental and puritanical and I did not care for it.
1. My 4th read
2. The Tilney siblings
3./ 4. I love when Austen is defending the reading of novels & making fun of people who don‘t read them, chap 5 & 7
5. Dance, at least I have a chance of surviving that
6. Snooping
7. SIL
8. That‘s hard since there‘s more people I wouldn‘t want to invite. Getting an invite: the Tilney siblings & Catherine. Not getting an invite: Mrs Allen - all the talk about muslins. Mrs Thorpe. Mr Thorpe - such a brute
pickAnother winner from Austen
I particularly like the defense of reading the novel and all the literary references.
Some neighbors of the Morland‘s ask if Catherine would like to join them in Bath. Off course she does, and in the beginning it‘s boring since they don‘t know anyone. The. Catherine is introduced to Isabella and later to Henry and suddenly it‘s not so boring anymore

I haven‘t read the book, but I really loved this film that just came out in the US. So many great things about it, including Shakespeare and Company bookstore being featured.
Nothing like closing out the week with another chapter and some limoncello!
"By waking up to the world, by renouncing certainty and cynicism, by opening herself to new experiences- all of which takes real courage, real strength - [Catherine] turned life into an adventure that would never end. This, Austen told us, is the true heroism. Life, if you live it right, keeps surprising you and the thing that keeps surprising you the most...is yourself."
I might have finished the book, but there are still two days left in Northanger Abbey month with the #PemberLittens, so enjoy a roundup of tweets that made me laugh! #JaneAustenThenAndNow
