Hello, dearies!
Welcome to a mini update, and a bookish one that I didn’t know was moving so fast to completion.
There are some movies coming to the big screens this 2026, other than Sunrise on the Reaping that is. We already knew about it, and we are waiting anxiously and excitedly for it.

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. 😊

Book/Movie: Pride and Prejudice
Author: Jane Austen
Book Character: Lydia Bennet (Youngest sister)

Title: Pride and Prejudice
Page Count: 400 pages

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.
