“If I understand you rightly, you had formed a surmise of such horror as I have hardly words to——Dear Miss Morland, consider the dreadful nature of the suspicions you have entertained." - Henry Tilney
We all know where Catherine got her ideas from. I glad Henry called her out for skulking but I also find the "Remember that we are English," part hilarious.

pickMay #ThematicCozies: Flowers/ Garden. I love how in cozy mysteries small towns have everything. Bookstore, bakery, yoga studio, fitness center, etc.
Enjoyable read. Little unbelievable how police handled murder inquiry. Not bumbling which would have made story silly but bit lackadaisical. But it works because it's a cozy. Will continue to read seasonally. And will pick on for June Prompt: Celebrations.

"The kitchen-garden was to be next admired, and he led the way to it across a small portion of the park."
I love this chapter not for the plot but for the garden tour!
My Kitchen Garden is looking quite lovely. ???

🤪 Over the weekend I was reading on Kindle, switched back to print this morning. Read Chapter 20 rather than 19, so here's today's quote.
#PemberLittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow.
Morning cuppa and chapter - "and, in the course of a few minutes, she found herself with Henry in the curricle, as happy a being as ever existed."* ???
#PemberLittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
*This quote is actually from Chapter 20. I had a moment.?
"The compliment of John Thorpe‘s affection did not make amends for this thoughtlessness in his sister."
I'm try to decide who is more annoying Isabella or John Thorpe.

"With all the chances against her of house, hall, place, park, court, and cottage, Northanger turned up an abbey,and she was to be its inhabitant." - Chapter 17
We're going to Northanger Abbey!

"For myself, it is nothing; I never think of myself.”
Yeah right, Pick Me Princess Isabella. ?
#PemberLittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
"But I have a notion, Miss Morland, you and I think pretty much alike upon most matters.”
No Dude Bro Thorpe, not even close. ??♀️

"Is there a Henry in the world who could be insensible to such a declaration? Henry Tilney at least was not." ?
#PemberLittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
"Thorpe defended himself very stoutly, declared he had never seen two men so much alike in his life, and would hardly give up the point of its having been Tilney himself."
Dude Bro Thorpe you lying, liar. ?
#Pemberlittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
"Every young lady may feel for my heroine in this critical moment, for every young lady has at some time or other known the same agitation."
Go away Dude Bro Thorpe! I only want to dance with Henry Tilney!
#PemberLittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
Catherine has decided Dude Bro 'John Thorpe himself was quite disagreeable.' 😒

I think it's fun the difference between a quiz today vs Northanger Abbey. You can play here: https://janeausten.co.uk/blogs/the-jane-austen-quiz/which-regency-style-is-for-y...
But more importantly Henry Tilney is back‼️? "He looked as handsome and as lively as ever,"......
#PemberLittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
When you meet a man and it's so obvious that he's not Henry Tilney. 🎩
“Udolpho! Oh, Lord! not I; I never read novels; I have something else to do.” - John Thorpe.
#PemberLittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
“It is so odd to me, that you should never have read Udolpho before;" - Northanger Abbey Chapter 6.
That time I read Udolfo and had thoughts. Have you read any of Isabella's list of books?
#Pemberlittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
.Henry Tilney is still nowhere to be found. But Catherine has made a friend! And gasp we're reading novels! 😱📖📚
#PemberLittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
"With more than usual eagerness did Catherine hasten to the Pump-room the next day, secure within herself of seeing Mr. Tilney there before the morning were over, and ready to meet him with a smile:—but no smile was demanded—Mr. Tilney did not appear."
Where oh where can Henry Tilney be? ?
#PemberLittens #TalkTilneyToMe
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
"The master of the ceremonies introduced to her a very gentlemanlike young man as a partner;—his name was Tilney."
It's Henry Tilney‼️?

I love how this chapter is so fun, to say that nothing happened. 😄

This is edition I'll mainly be reading from. Also have Audio and Kindle for busy days.
My favorite quote from Chapter 1 and one of my favorites from entire book:
"if adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad,"

"No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine."
pick#PemberLittens my April 'NOW' for #JaneAustenThenAndNow.
6 Movie Adaptations
6 #JaneAdjacent Reads.
Tagged Book is Book 3 of Murder on Location Series. I really enjoy this with it's overall love of Jane Austen. Like the coziness of the location. Mystery always keeps me guessing. Also they're not super long. You can finish in a couple of days. Plan to keep reading over the rest of year. 📖🎩🎞
pickFinished my official 'Now' read, although I read/watched a lot more. (Post to come.) Yes there was a lot of verbatim Pride and Prejudice but overall I found it fun. Particularly loved the additional art work.

pick"if she was a murderer it would be a bit like discovering that Mary Berry had a dark side."
Fun and cozy mystery! Liked all the gardening and food bits.
I finallycaught up @julieclair! #ThematicCozies
Jane and I spent yesterday making scones and watching all 6 hrs of 1995 Pride and Prejudice. It was wonderful. 🎩
#pemberlittens
#datewithmrdarcy
#janeaustenthenandnow
pickI hadn't watched since it first came out. Had forgotten how good it was.
Favorite things:
Matt Smith as Parson Collins
I want boots and thigh holster for cosplay.
And Lizzy. Such a badass. ⚔️🎩🧟♂️

#PemberLittens 20th Anniversary showing of Pride and Prejudice definitely called for dressing up. Niece in law Jen and I had the best time. We sighed, we laughed, we clapped.
"You have bewitched me body and soul and I love, I love, I love you." ?
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
🎞 1940s P & P. I could let it go that the clothes and hair are all wrong, if they hadn't cut so much of the story. It made Elizabeth and Darcy falling in love come out of nowhere.
It's been a long time since I rewatched the complete Masterpiece Theatre 1980 P & P that introduced teenage me to Jane Austen. I liked Elizabeth! Had forgotten how uptight Darcy was in this one. ⬇️
pickNon-traditional mostly Emma retelling with a little bit of Pride and Prejudice thrown in. Library Hold that came in. There's a Wait List for it so I went ahead and read. This graphic novel was gorgeous! I truly believe that Jane Austen is for everyone and this showed that. I appreciated that it gave historical context at the end. 🎩

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single, space-faring man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."
#PemberLittens we're half through April and I'm just starting my 'Now' #JaneAdjacent read. Morning low of 42F/6C was excuse to read a few chapters by the fire. Have read other books and watched 2 movie versions. Will share those as well. How's your reading going? #JaneAustenThenAndNow
pickClassic Martha vs New Martha. Martha Stewart's Gardening Month by Month is old favorite of mine. Yes it's a bit dated, but I'm always inspired by it. I usually flip through whatever month we are in. Plus it has seasonal recipes.
I was excited to get my hands the first new Martha gardening book in 30 years - Martha Stewart's Gardening Handbook. ⬇️
#PemberLittens I'm going far into the 'Now' for April. Super excited for this! It's such a gorgeous book.
I'm also going to have a look through my Kindle and Audiobooks. I have a ton of them on my TBR and I'm always adding more.
🎩📖🚀 #JaneAustenThenAndNow
so-soI don't read a ton of Manga but I'm always disappointed. You start with a few pages of beautiful I color artwork and then goes to black and white. It's such a a letdown.
I didn't particularly like the artwork in this. Charlotte looked liked evil doll. I'm not sure what Magnus was supposed to look like. If I hadn't read original I don't think I would have been able to keep up with story.
Maybe Manga just isn't for me.

pick#PemberLittens for discussion of Pride & Prejudice! Answer here or make your own post just tag me so I see it. My answers:
1️⃣ Swapped between print and audiobook read by the fabulous Rosamunde Pike. Umpteenth reread. When I first started tracking my reading with Goodreads, I estimated that I had read P & P every other year since I was 14. Using that low estimate plus actually keeping track since 2017, makes this my 20th time reading. ⬇️
#PemberLittens I've been a bit offline for March because my Mr Darcy turned 60! How did that happen? His Birthday Wishes: to putter about in his workshop (which we've named The Putterage), weekend trip to Texas Pinball Festival, and Hummingbird Cake. He has a couple more days of Staycation. Currently he is happily changing the oil in lawn mower. He works a stressful job, mowing is his therapy. 🥳
#JaneAustenThenAndNow

#PemberLittens this is perfect for last couple of chapters. 😆 #JaneAustenThenAndNow
#Pemberlittens after a busy weekend, enjoying some quiet time. Listened to March Episode of A Jane Austen Year Podcast.
https://spoti.fi/4h7i6uk March was all about snowdrops, excellent potatoes and many cups of tea.
Then Ch 5 & 6. "Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance."
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
March #ThematicCozies Theme is 'Hobby' so @julieclair I'm going with my favorite hobby gardening. 👩🏻🌾
#Pemberlittens I switched to audiobook for Chapters 3 & 4. We're building raised veggie garden bed and yesterday was a lot of work. I listened with my morning tea.
"In understanding Darcy was the superior. Bingley was by no means deficient, but Darcy was clever."
#JaneAustenThenAndNow
#ShadowhunterSunday In March I'll be reading The Infernal Devices Manga - Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess. I have this Trilogy that contains all 3.
Will also be reading a few pages of The Whitechapel Fiend and Nothing But Shadows. Both of these short stories from modern day #TalesfromtheShadowhunterAcademy include flashbacks to where I'm at in my Timeline Reread. ➰️
