#Pemberlittens I've been contemplating color schemes for flower beds up against the house. There are plenty of foundation shrubs for greenery but no flowers. And then replacement copy of In The Garden with Jane Austen. My brick and brick at Chawtow Cottage are a close match! It's giving me lots of inspiration. 🏡

GIVEAWAY! Enter with a comment on this post by 5 pm CT on Friday, 23 February, to win this lovely NF book about Jane Austen‘s works and how we came to get them. I‘ll draw a winner out of a hat and send it off next week.

I meant to do this ages ago, but better late than never. I bought this book twice, read and enjoyed it, and recommend it to JA fans. I hope my extra copy finds a good home!

Deblovestoread I‘d give it a good home 😌 1mo

2023 Daily Read.
It's been a delight waking up to Jane quote everyday. I finished on NYE morning with my favorite tea cup. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig And then there's this in the Acknowledgements:
"I‘m grateful to my father, LeRoy Looser, for inculcating a love of research and a zest for trying new things. He first picked up Pride and Prejudice three years ago, in his late seventies. I treasure the day he told me, his only daughter, “I just got to the part where Lydia‘s going to Brighton with Mrs. Forster. I don‘t know what kind of trouble she‘s going to get in down there. Don‘t tell me.” ☺️

#Pemberlittens thank you so much for the great feedback and suggestions for our #JaneAdjacent subgroup! I will continue with monthly buddy reads but some may start later or earlier in the month depending on my schedule. I like having a monthly vote as it keeps things fresh and people engaged. I will throw into the mix a few other classic retellings for variation. This will be a very flexible group - jump in and out depending on your preference! ⬇️

StayCurious Book suggestions are always welcome. Book pace will depend on the length of the book and when we start it in the month. I‘d also like to do laid back movie discussions since there are so many Jane productions out there. For our next vote click here: https://forms.gle/Y6dK88Ae7ewR96nY7 3mo

rubyslippersreads Voted! Hard to choose, but I picked a book I already own. 😊 3mo
julieclair Voted! But I‘ll be happy to read any of these great choices! 3mo
IndoorDame Voted! I think movie discussions would be a super fun addition! And I did end up going through my TBR, but the only adaptations on there right now are ones the #pemberlittens read a while back and especially enjoyed that I didn‘t join in on. I‘ll let you know if I stumble across anything else that looks fun though ☺️ 3mo
Larkken Voted! Thanks for the tag! I like the idea of movie chats 😊 3mo
CrowCAH @StayCurious and @BarkingMadRead I believe last year, 2023, you two took over for the PemberLittens tag after @sprainedbrain stepped down, because it became a bit much for her, and started JaneAdjacent. Is there a way to be tagged for future votes on JA inspired reads? I know even for myself with being pregnant and now having my daughter, I wasn‘t participating too much on Litsy last year, but I‘m trying to get back into it. 2mo
BarkingMadRead @CrowCAH I am doing the classics, @staycia doing the Jane adjacent 😍 congrats on your baby girl!! 2mo
CrowCAH @BarkingMadRead thanks on both accounts! ☺️ Yes, I‘m raising a little reader! 📖 2mo
StayCurious @CrowCAH congratulations! Of course I will add you to my main tag list! 2mo
CrowCAH @StayCurious thank you ☺️ 2mo

Pemberlitten Few pictures from today's celebration Jane Austen's Virtual Birthday Party hosted by Jane Austen's House. Followed by a turn about the grounds in golf cart. And because if you get the chance to pose dramatically on a rock, dressed in Regency costume, you should. 💙💙💙💙💙

“Mrs. Allen was one of that numerous class of females, whose society can raise no other emotion than surprise at there being any men in the world who could like them well enough to marry them.” This quote made me laugh out loud!😂 I can always depend on Jane Austin to have savage descriptions of her foolish acting characters. #janeaustin
