Cbr16bingo fanfic As I have mentioned in previous reviews, I love Pride and Prejudice. It’s one of my favorite novels of all time. I have read and enjoyed several re-tellings of the novel, such as Jo Baker’s Longbourn, Curtis Sittenfeld’s Eligible, and Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I guess those are “fanfics,” but when I think of fanfic, I think of stories like All the Young Dudes, which use a famous novel as a jump off point to imagine life beyond the original […]

The Annotated Pride and Prejudice by David M. Shapard, Jane Austen

June 3, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Goodreads really wants to slot this in with a regular copy of Pride and Prejudice, and to be fair you are reading a copy of Pride and Prejudice when you read this. In my case, it’s been so long since I’ve read this book and I have watched so many snippets of the 1995 BBC version and the 2005 Keira Knightley version since that there were multiple, multiple times that I thought I was reading some sort of “newly discovered passages!” version of the book.

The GOAT

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Cbr13bingo Self care Pride and Prejudice is my favorite novel of all time. As I believe I have related before, it is the first and only book that I’ve read which, upon finishing for the first time, I immediately returned to page one and read it all over again. For many years, I did a reread around the holidays as a gift to myself. My first ebook download was Pride and Prejudice. I’ve seen a couple of the adaptations (the definitive A&E/Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle series, […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
