Welcome to Litsy!

#Pemberlittens it's time for Emma discussion! Her are my answers:
1️⃣ 5 total. 4X since beginning to track my reading on Goodreads in 2017 and then once as a teenager. I swapped between the gorgeously summery tagged edition & early autumnal Signature Gilded classic edition. Finished up with Juliet Stevenson audio.
2️⃣ My perspective changed after reading article about as a caretaker she tied to her home parenting her parent. Loveable snob. ⬇️

On Emma: Kelly suggests Knightley is in the process of enclosure, or privatizing formerly common land. After all, the "gipsies" were hanging about the lanes which must mean that their usual campsite was inaccessible, and the incident of turkey theft in the last chapters means that more villagers of Highbury are going hungry. Honestly, her ideas intrigue me, but then she also mentions that Harriet and Jane Fairfax are half sisters and girl, what?

From when I shared my #PnPcovers collection with my #JASNA chapter, I received this little book of sticky notes as a thank-you! 🥰

My 4th reading of this novel.

And I think what really struck me this time is how much Emma cares for her father and takes care of him. She‘s 21 yrs and almost everything does is to make his life better, that‘s quite remarkable.

I also enjoyed reading about Mrs Weston and Mr. Knightley.

And also Frank Churchill isn‘t the nice guy he pretends to be and I can‘t believe his fiancé forgives him.

Tweets About Emma, Part 2: I love Brandon Taylor. ? I'm so here for the distinction between "favorite" and "best", because YES. And the follow-up tweet is petty snark at its finest. Where is Emma on your Austen favorites list, #PemberLittens? #JaneAustenThenAndNow

I‘ve never read P&P (I know, I know)
but I do have a soft spot for #vampires & #spookyseason!
Have any of you #pemberlittens read this remix where Darcy‘s a vampire? 🧛
Should I add this #gothic tale to my tbr?

I love a rainy night and hot apple cider, with Deresiewicz's meditation on Emma: "These things matter because they matter to the characters themselves. They made up the texture of their lives and gave their existence its savor...those small, "trivial" everyday things, the things that happen hour by hour to the people in our lives; that, [Austen] was telling us, is what the fabric of our years really consist of. That is what life is really about."

I've been speeding through this one and was coming to the close when a chance day hike came my way. What a pleasure to end as I started, surrounded by the gorgeous outdoors! I've read Emma many times and in many humors, and this time I really tried to notice the character's finer qualities. Obviously her change of heart is deeply felt and her care for her father drives nearly everything she does- but I will still never truly love this book. 👇👇👇
