Mansfield Park | Austen

After two years of doing this I think I still have enough unread books to continue! So I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

My answers:
1️⃣ Reread. I first read several years ago and have often revisited. When choosing books, I knew was perfect for December. Short stories are wonderful during the busy holiday season. Plus there's something for everyone. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 2️⃣ Continuations and Filling in the Gaps. I don't like when Jane's original stories are tampered with. I prefer the Regency Period but make it different. I feel like Modern Day Retellings are the hardest, especially Pride and Prejudice. A woman isn't going to starve in the hedgerows these days because they didn't get married.

3️⃣ Anne de Bourgh is definitely plotting and or waiting for when she inherits Rosings Park to go absolutely wild. ⬇️
5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig 4️⃣ Mistletoe Mismanagement by Elizabeth Adams. I love seeing Elizabeth and Darcy happy together at Pemberley.

5️⃣ I have 3. Inspiration for book:
"I went up to the Great House between three and four, and dawdled away an hour very comfortably.” Jane wrote in a letter to her sister Cassandra.⬇️

5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig “No, dear, they are coming with us to Rosings. I need all these books if we are to spend a fortnight there,” Elizabeth replied. - By A Lady by Lona Manning

“Really? You can march against Napoleon, but you cannot find a way to talk to a lady in your cousin‘s home? I fear for England!” Mistletoe Mismanagement by Elizabeth Adams

6️⃣ Lady Catherine. At least could escape and walk the gardens of Rosing.⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig 7️⃣. I love that these stories edited by
have proceeds benefiting Chawton Great House. The former home of Jane Austen's brother Edward and is now the Centre for the Study of Early Women's Writing. Just a short walk from Chawton Cottage a place Jane often visited.⬇️
5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig And that's a wrap on 2024! Join me in January for #JaneAustenThenAndNow Book Club celebrating the 250th Anniversary of Jane Austen's Birth when we read Sensibility and Sensibility. I'll be back later with more details.

julieclair 1️⃣ First read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I listened on audio while in the car, and the short story format was perfect. 5d

julieclair 2️⃣ Continuations and Filling in the gaps, for the same reason you stated. Jane‘s original stories are sacrosanct. I do enjoy modern settings, though. 5d

julieclair I didn‘t really have a favorite story - I enjoyed them all. And I didn‘t write down any favorite quotes because I was driving, but I remember laughing out loud at the Napoleon quote you referenced above! 😂 5d

julieclair 6️⃣ Mrs. Bennet for sure. I have known several people in my life just like her, and have learned to tune them out! 🙉😂 5d

julieclair 7️⃣ I agree… I love that the proceeds benefit Chawton Great House. I actually plan to purchase a physical copy because of that. 5d

julieclair What a fun reading year we have had together! Thanks for hosting, and picking such great books. I‘m excited for #JaneAustenThenAndNow ! 💙😃💙 5d

julieclair @mcctrish (correcting the spelling in the tag list above) 😘 5d

mcctrish Thanks @julieclair 5d

Crinoline_Laphroaig @julieclair so much fun! And this was great one to end 2024 on 4d

The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh: A Novel | Claudia Gray

My #LitsyPenpal has been busy this holiday season. Thank you, thank you @Beck9lol for all the Christmas goodies! I‘m definitely the girl with ALL the gifts. I‘m ready to get back into Jane Austen retellings and The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh will tick a box nicely. Can‘t wait to dive in with the other new to me books. It may be the cure for my reading slump and that Lego kit, candle & 130 piece mini puzzle! So grateful! Thanks, Becky! 🎄📚
