Here are the retellings I'm hoping to tackle this month for the #JaneAustenThenAndNow read: spicy S&S in a beach town, an S&S murder mystery, a polarizing modern version, and three YA takes because dang it, I love YA. Authors Rosie Rushton and Staci Hart have adapted all of Austen's novels, and while I've read Rushton's before, Hart's are new to me. We'll see how this goes...! Anyone else out there looking for some S&S-adjacent reads for February?

eeclayton I've read the Trollope, I'll be curious to see what you think. This month, I'm going to try 3d
Bookwormjillk I‘m going to read the Trollope. I read it when it first came out but I want to read it again. 3d

Andrea313 @eeclayton @Bookwormjillk Did you like the Trollope? Reviews online are mixed so I'm not sure what to expect! And I definitely want to hear @eeclayton 's thoughts on Jane of Austin! I'm curious about it, but too many books and too little time... 3d
bookandbedandtea These all look good! I have one overlap on my list. 3d
Andrea313 @bookandbedandtea Which one will we both be reading? 3d
Crinoline_Laphroaig Oooh. I like this list. Also think S&S lends itself to YA. 3d
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig Yes, definitely! A roadmap for "coming of age" stories. 3d
Andrea313 @bookandbedandtea I'm starting it today! Hope we both enjoy. 🧡🧡 3d
eeclayton @Andrea313 I didn't like the Trollope, but I hope it'll work better for you! 2d
Bookwormjillk @Andrea313 I was meh about the Trollope, but I didn‘t read them back to back. I‘m thinking having the original top of mind will improve it. 2d

#TLT #ThreeListThursday

This retired English teacher's score sucked! 😂 Though the 17 books I did read were not from childhood but from my years teaching middle school. My 3 choices are for the following reasons:
JOHNNY TREMAIN: #love
OUT OF THE DUST: #lovetoinfinity--in my top 5 list of fave books of all time!
CHARLOTTE'S WEB: Only an Honor winner? #wtf?

Here's the link if you haven't played yet: https://shorturl.at/kosig

Texreader I only read 3 3w
dabbe @Texreader If I hadn't taught middle school, I would have read 0! You're in good company; most of us scored less than 20. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 3w
Texreader @dabbe I do have some on my bookshelves I hope to read someday. 3w

Texreader @dabbe What subject did you teach? 3w
dabbe @Texreader English! So you'd think I would have read more of these! I mostly taught high school, though, so zero Newbery winners for that age group! 🤩😂😘🤩 3w
dabbe @curiouserandcurioser Ya kicked my retired-English-teacher butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 3w
dabbe @Texreader Same here. Plus I want to reread JOHNNY TREMAIN again. I have my original teacher copy with all of my notes in it--same for OUT OF THE DUST. 3w
curiouserandcurioser It was fun to play:) 3w
dabbe @curiouserandcurioser Yay! I love taking polls! 🤩😂🤗 3w
DogMomIrene I got 17 too😂 A mix from my childhood & teaching years. That committee, though. Sometimes they pick books that may be all fancy pants literary, but good luck enticing a child to read it. 2w
