Was #yuleswap a one off? It was a fun one. Did I miss seeing it for last winter?

I love any Jane Austen spin-off, so this modern version was enjoyable. The author stuck with the same storyline but modernized it. He made Bingley a doctor and a reality TV star and I thought that Jane being a Yoga instructor was perfect. Darcy and Elizabeth‘s chemistry was good and sexy. My only criticism is, it attempted to add any prejudices the author could think of in the modern world. It did modernize it, but it felt forced in my opinion.

Ruh-roh! What say you, #PemberLittens? Is it truly time for another S&S? I have so many questions! Will they show us a Willoughby/Brandon duel? Am I wrong to wish for a scene of Robert self-importantly shopping for a toothpick case? And most importantly, will we get an Edward Ferrars who is a true mopey sadsack, as God and Jane Austen intended?? 😜 Link to article in the comments. #JaneAustenThenAndNow

Ruthiella I just hope they do it “right”. Edward Ferrars/Hugh Grant aside, I like the Emma Thompson version. I can‘t watch the P&P with Kiera Knightly. I just want to comb everyone‘s hair in it. 3d
Andrea313 @Ruthiella OK but that comment about combing people's hair made me laugh. 🤣😂 I like the '95 and '05 versions of P&P, just as I like the Emma Thompson S&S as well as the 2008 mini-series. I think each of them got different things right and I can find something to love about them all. But I am NOT down with the modernized, anachronistic adaptations like the most recent version of Persuasion. No direct address to camera, please! 3d

bookishbitch I think I'm one of the few who likes something about all the film versions of her books. And I've been surprised at just how many there have been! (The black and white 1938 tv P&P started them all, I believe.) Love them or hate them, they all deviate from the books. 3d

I believe all the other #PemberLittens must have snagged this amazing Jane Austen book scene, because it doesn‘t show up even if the cart has over $150! I‘ll be sure to check my local Bricks & MiniFigs store to get a set! #LEGO

TheBookHippie Yah! I assumed the same! 4d
Graciouswarriorprincess I got mine off Facebook Marketplace brand new for $20. 3d
CrowCAH @Graciouswarriorprincess that‘s a decent price! I‘ll check it out. 3d
peanutnine I got my set! It did say while supplies last, so it must have been super popular!! 2d
CrowCAH @peanutnine woohoo yayy so glad you got one!!! 2d

#Pemberlittens I had issues with how Jonathan's dad the ORIGINAL Mr Darcy was portrayed. Because of that I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads. My full slightly spoilery Review in comments. 🎩

#JaneAustenThenAndNow

Crinoline_Laphroaig I don't read these books for the mystery. I read them for Juliet Tilney and Jonathan Darcy. Reasons for keeping them separated is very convoluted. Also I don't like that it's because of Mr Darcy! ⬇️

5d
Crinoline_Laphroaig Mr Darcy who had such character growth in Pride and Prejudice and married for love. There's no reason a man who ended up with Lydia as a sister in law and Mrs Bennet as a mother in law would disapprove of Juliet Tilney as a daughter in law. She not a golddigger. Her family is respectable and while not Pemberly rich, they are not poor. Juliet is smart, likeable but most importantly she truly cares for Jonathan. Mr Darcy wouldn't act this way.

5d
Crinoline_Laphroaig Will I continue to read this series? Absolutely! I'm waiting for the happy ever after. 5d
willaful Hmmm, wondering now if I should skip this one and just wait for the HEA. ;-) They've been going downhill for me. 5d

“In the early hours of the morning the house was dark and quiet. […] and Elizabeth lay in bed wide awake. Images of Mr. Darcy‘s face, his nod, and his tall, handsome demeanour flooded her thoughts. She knew that even if she were spared these thoughts by sleep coming upon her, he would invade her dreams. And when she did fall asleep just before dawn, he was there just as she had expected.”

Rounded up to 5⭐️, this 4th book in series finds the Darcys, Tilneys and Bertrams knee-deep in family dramas/murders. Love this series!

4.5/5⭐️
