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, […]

None of these books fit into my reviewing theme this year (revisiting series I’d never finished), but I wanted to review Clap When You Land anyway because it is excellent, and I decided to throw the other three in as a bonus. Clap When You Land: 5 stars. Plot: Camino lives in the Dominican Republic with her Tia and sees her father every summer, when he comes back from New York City to visit. When his plan tragically crashes and everyone aboard dies, she discovers […]

A truly awful book to blackout my bingo card!

Mary Bennet and the Bloomsbury Coven by Beth Deitchman

So, this is another published Pride and Prejudice fanfiction. I mean, so are all of them I suppose, but even the title screams “fanfic.” And if I had come across this book with this description online, I would have passed it by. But a hard copy was handed to me, and so I set out to read it. So let’s journey together, shall we? *Note – will contain massive spoilers* It’s bad. Mary has taken to reading novels instead of more “serious” works, her […]

Not too bad for a first novel!

The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow

To all of those naysayers who say that fanfiction is not legitimate, I present Exhibit A, The Other Bennet Sister, along with all of the other Pride and Prejudice “variations” or alternate stories. This is what fanfiction is, taking something and putting your own spin on it. The only difference is that the copyright has passed on P&P, so people can publish their stories, whereas you can’t really do that yet with Harry Potter or The Avengers or whatever. (Although if you talk to the […]
