Pride and Premeditation is great. I really enjoyed that retelling but I don't think that I am hugely interested in the rest of the series.

Oh! Yes! Absolutely! Don't miss it! I wish there were more of such debates, on all types of topics, but I'll take literary ones anytime!

I wanted to know what was next for Lizzy and Darcy and what happened with the villain. The incidents are only referenced in the second book. I'll probably check out the third one if the library gets it.

I watched it earlier this year and really enjoyed it. :)

I just finished the BEST Sense and Sensibility Variation called ‘The Year in Between’ by Christina Morland.

*Spoilers*

It starts just before the wedding of Elinor and Edward and ends at the wedding of Marianne and Colonel Brandon. It runs the course of a year. Readers will see more passionate dynamics of the couples (closed door), more information on Eliza Williams, new characters and Ferrars drama. Best of all, I loved the careful blossoming of Marianne and Brandon’s relationship. As well as the struggles and marriage upheavals Elinor and Edward go through.

Hi Hannah,

This book sounds good.

I must give it a try.

This does look good! I have put it on my Jane Austen shelf. Thanks for sharing! :)

I've just found the YouTube channel A Janeite Sews. Probably it has been there for ages and everybody knows it already, but just in case I simply had to share it: It is marvellous!
