Trees in your eyes, stars in your heart

Hello there-- welcome to whatever you'd call this. You can find Jane Austen and whatever else strikes my fancy here!

Another perk of libraries is that when I check out an audiobook and predictably fail to listen to it, it gets returned and I can rest easy knowing that checking it out at all has already benefited my local library. I can even do it again later and it will only bring further good things, for free, forever

VS buying an audiobook, failing to listen to it, and having to stare at it in my audible collection knowing I spent $10 on something I never used. And then imagine doing that again. Hellish. Get a library card and download the libby app

“The party from Uppercross passing down by the now deserted and melancholy looking rooms, and still descending, soon found themselves on the sea-shore; and lingering only, as all must linger and gaze on a first return to the sea, who ever deserve to look on it at all …”

- Persuasion, volume 1, chapter 11, Jane Austen

[molinaesque]

Just finished watching Persuasion (95) and I'm reading the book right now (I knooow, wrong order) and man where was this movie all my life?? I've seen prtty much every Austen adaptation and read all the books (exc Persuasion for some reason) and have to say, though I haven't finished the book yet, it's the best adaptation so far of any Austen book. Like, I love BBCs Emma, and yeah I'm fond of PP05 because it got me into Austen, but Persuasion man. Also thank you for giffing this movie

I KNOW RIGHT?? I think the reason why people would miss Persuasion when getting into Austen is because it’s her most mature novel, to a point where it feels like a whole other person is writing it (i don’t mean style wise, but the subject matter and tonally it is very different from most of her other pieces), and this translates to the 95 adaptation to. It just feels so intimate while giving us Romance with a capital R the only way Jane Austen can. I LOVE IT! I’m glad that for the past few months I have been able to get people to watch this gem of an adaptation. I wouldn’t mind a new adaptation, sure, but to be honest I’m completely satisfied with the 95 version. Now, if only they can do a criterion remaster... 😏

Matthew Rhys as Fitzwilliam Darcy in Death Comes to Pemberley

[bygone-age]

He did excellently, didn’t he!?! The whole cast were fantastic, but Matthew Rhys was especially wonderful. He did a really great job of showing all the facets of Darcy’s personality and his chemistry with Anna Maxwell-Martin was beautiful.

I could go on in (probably too much) detail about the different performances, but I’ll bore everyone senseless, so I’ll just finish by saying how enjoyable the whole drama was and much I’m looking forward to the DVD (and if anyone can tell me when it’s out, I’d be very thankful).

Maybe it is love, as much as it can be, for somebody. Somebody who sold you to Humble Pie for fifty bucks and a case of beer! I was there! I was there! What kind of beer?
