It was excellent Emma 'Now' month! Nice mix of classic adaptation, continuation, and modern day retellings. All in the spirit of Jane.

I'm posting a bit early because I've finished all that I had planned for this month.

Persuasion Chapter A Day Readalong starts November 1st! 📖📚🎞

Mehso-so

I'm counting this as an Emma-adjacent read, as Persephone's edition dates from 1816 when Emma was published, and they often recommend it to Austen lovers. It was fun to read and imagine what would resonate with our characters: for Robert Martin, certainly the sections on keeping livestock; for Mr. Woodhouse, the part about recipes for the sick; and as for Emma herself, as the lady of the house, how much do you think she consulted on menus, etc.?

Crinoline_Laphroaig She probably had lots of opinions that had to be talked down. 2d

Himself and The Niblings are watching movie, I'm not interested in. Took advantage to finishing my ARC. Love Auntie Emma and nephew Henry!

Emmett | L C Rosen

I really loved this queer YA take on Emma! Emmett has a large friend group and no interest in having a boyfriend...but that doesn't mean he can't make the people around him happy. The loss of his mother looms large in this one and this Mr. Woodhouse's concern for Emmett's health is actually kind of disturbing, but overall I think the spin works well. And check out the cover underneath the dust jacket- swoon! 😍 #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow

Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig UM, YES. So dark and disturbing in an otherwise straightforward adaptation. 1d

Published next year, and written by one of my Uni friends who studied 18th century studies with me. She's just finalised her thesis for her PhD, and does A LOT with fashion throughout history and literature.

Mid-month check in for Emma 'Now'. I joined a couple of friends for a movie watch party of Clueless. Such a fun trip back to the 90's. What are you reading or watching? 💛💛💛💛💛

AnneCecilie I‘ve also watched Clueless. It was such a long time since I saw it that I had forgotten how good it was. I also saw the 1996 adaption with Gwyneth Paltrow. 2w
Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnishaInkspill I've not heard of Emma Approved. I'll check it out. Thank you. 2w
Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnneCecilie I'm watching 1996 one soon! 2w

First in a mystery series, this is a light, entertaining re-imagining of Jane Austen's characters all together in a modern setting: Greek Row in a conservative Southern University. I liked that Gilliland is creating new plots rather than simply retelling Austen's, but be aware that includes characters being murder victims--and murderers. I don't think she's likely to disrupt any sacred pairings though.

willaful @Crinoline_Laphroaig I picked it because I thought it demonstrated the modernization and ways the author steps away from the original pretty well. 😂 2w

Sly Jane Fairfax | Elizabeth Gilliland

Surprised I enjoyed this, to be honest. 😂 It's a short prequel to a series in which all of Austen's main characters work or go to school at a Southern University. This is about Jane's secret relationship, and her attempts to pledge a snobby sorority that will facilitate her seeing Frank... even though a much friendlier one with Elizabeth Bennet is available. It felt like the author was having fun with the characters, and I'll read on.

OutsmartYourShelf @willaful Can I just check, is that the correct prompt, as it should be a choice of 3 books for me to choose your next read for 'Driver Picks the Music'? 4w
willaful @OutsmartYourShelf I'm sorry, I'm confused. I've just been playing the bingo, is there more to it than that? 4w

willaful @OutsmartYourShelf Oh shoot, I never saw the second page of the rules with the prompts! Sorry about that. :-( 4w
OutsmartYourShelf @willaful No worries, I'm fairly flexible with most of them but some (like Driver Picks the Music) are specific.
