Becoming Jane: The Wit and Wisdom of Jane Austen | Anne Newgarden

What have you read/watched this December? Are you done for the year? Or planning a few more?

Such a busy time of year, I wanted to go ahead and post Persuasion 'Now' discussion. Join in whenever you can.

I've got one more watch party scheduled for Becoming Jane. Saved it for December because it's set around holidays.

Crinoline_Laphroaig I would love to get to Persuasion 2007 & 1995 and the new documentary Jane Austen Rise of a Genius over Twixmas.

AnneCecilie Nothing so far, but would love to see Netflix‘s Persuasion, there‘s so many opinions about it 5d

BookishMarginalia Rewatched my fave P&P adaptation, the Colin Firth version 💜 5d

AnishaInkspill I watched the BBC drama of Pride and Prejudice, before reading the novel of which I am almost 2/3 through. It‘s Jane Austen, not sure if it‘s ever possible to finish with Jane Austen. And I‘ll look out for your Persuasion discussion. I'm not sure if you've come across this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvkqlWCgcck , Modern Persuasion, an updated take retold as a romcom. 5d

julieclair @AnishaInkspill I‘m hoping to read that this month! (Or next…. Or at some point in my life… 😂) 5d

peanutnine I'm planning on watching the Netflix adaptation of Persuasion and I have a book retelling on hold. It will probably wait until the new year, I'm deep in holiday reads lol

Give Me a Reason

AnishaInkspill @julieclair 😂 I've been here many times 😂 4d

Give Me a Reason

Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnishaInkspill vaguely remember Modern Persuasion. I think I've saw it. 3d

When People Were Things: Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, and the Emancipation Proclamation | Lisa Waller Rogers

According to the book "When People Were Things," a possible quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln regarding the Emancipation Proclamation is: "If my name ever goes into history, it will be for this act, and my whole soul is in it.". This aligns with historical accounts of Lincoln's commitment to freeing enslaved people through the Emancipation Proclamation.
