Canterbury Jane Austen Challenge

‘…have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?’

Hello, dearies! 🧵

Did you know that there is a Jane Austen Challenge going on by canterburyclassics? (This is not promoted).

There is! And I decided to go into it, starting with Jane Austen in January, true be told I didn’t finish it in Jan, but I’ll plan on continuing until the end throughout February since the challenge is month by month through 2025, and I am not really planning on doing needlework, this time. 😆

As Ms. Austen is to turn 250 this year! ⁠That’s how they decided that this should be the perfect way to celebrate.

These are the expected month-by-month challenges:

You can still join, of course. What do you think? If I find other book challenges like so, I’ll definitely consider them, it looked like so much, and perhaps I’ll finally read all of Jane Austen’s books, because Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey sit on my shelf since forever. 😸

That’s the latest from my end. I’ll update on my new view of Pride and Prejudice once I’m done. 😊

Spoiler Time Sunday: Pride and Prejudice’s Lydia

Pride and Prejudice is a superb comedy of manners of Regency England, according to many readers. But did you know how Lydia really was in the book? Here’s how!

This will be a quick Spoiler Time Sunday.

Book/Movie: Pride and Prejudice

Author: Jane Austen

Book Character: Lydia Bennet (Youngest sister)

I was recently watching Pride and Prejudice (movie 2005) again for the thousandth time. And realised how little they explain how Lydia is, there’s a bit more to what she does and how she is. So here I am.

Did you know that in the book Mr Bennet actually asks Lizzie who did Lydia drive away (which suitor) by being all flirty.

Pride and Prejudice

‘I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve.’

Author: Jane Austen

Title: Pride and Prejudice

Page Count: 400 pages

Genres: Novel of Manners, Fiction, Historical Fiction, Historical, Literature

All about Fitzwilliam Darcy aka Mr Darcy.

Do I really need to say anything else? If you’re answer is yes, then I guess you must keep reading, because honestly, who doesn’t know Mr Darcy? Or Elizabeth Bennett? Or Jane Austen’s name for that matter, one of the greatest writers to ever have lived in the contemporary department, even when the book has no scenes considered to a specific audience or anything like it.

Whatever the book is rated, if anyone wishes to rate it, does not matter when it comes to saying that Pride and Prejudice is an enjoyable, fun, unconventional story, a classic it may be since it has years circling the world, however that does not mean it is not worth to be read, just because Miss Austen was born centuries ago, this is one of those books that transcends time and will continue to be incredible a century from now.
