Books: All things Jane Austen


Hello everyone it's been awhile! So since I have so much time on my hands I have been reading tons of books. I am currently on a Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, historical romance kick. I love it!!! I am a huge romantic and mix some history in and I am a goner ;).

My love for Ms. Jane Austen started when my mom and I went and saw the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice. I remember sitting there and being in aw of the costumes, the scenery, the romance and now I can't get enough. It opened my eyes to the wonderful world of Regency romance. haha After that fantastic experience I started to read tons of books including my mothers romance novels....haha Don't judge me. Some of those novels I read were Jane Austen's books and of course watching all the movie adaptions.

SO I have been watching and reading tons of Pride and Prejudice goodness since my surgery. As we all know that there are tons of adaptions of Ms. Austen's books. I have read some of them and though most of these are not fantastic works of literature they are fun to read.  Any suggestions lol? I really liked "Mr. Darcy's Little Sister" by C. Allyn Pierson. It was fun and it was interesting to see who Georgiana Darcy got with. haha

Beside reading I have been watching adaptions of Austen's books. My favorites so far I of course love the 2005 version of Pride and Pejudice that started it all, the version with Colin Firth, and I love the 1940 adaption with Laurence Olivier. They literally brighten my day when I watch them. I think this weekend is going to be an Austen weekend! Here are some pictures of my favorites! Enjoy!







Anyone see a pattern? haha Thanks for reading!
