don't's: i don't talk about news, politics, and -isms. for me, LJ is a place to get away from all that stuff, especially with COVID-19 and the nastiness that has been going on the last couple of years.

Feel free to friend me, but I probably won't friend you back unless we interact often and/or have the same interests. Leave a comment below to be considered.

D'awww! Why thank you! I am a huge fan of the books, and I'll always love the books the best even though I do enjoy many adaptations.

I know I have seen these covers before, but I'm not sure which company they are from. I think they are older, though. I'm guessing they are probably came out after 2005? They are definitely not any of the Signet Classics (I have a few of the old ones, and the new ones use a fancier font than those covers). Based on the font, I would almost say they are from Penguin (not their usual lines, maybe mass market or trade paperbacks) or maybe Puffin? I did manage to find the original photo (https://www.flickr.com/photos/emilymuffins/1967976586/). She purchased it from Waterstones, but the photo doesn't show the publisher.

I hope that helps somewhat!

Beautiful! thank you so much! You have been incredibly helpful!

I was wondering, since we've interacted a lot and we seem to have common interests, would you like to be friends? You sound really awesome, and you know Austen inside and out :) I'm sort of just becoming an Austenite XD

[aurora_amethyst]

Sure! ^^ D'awww! That's really sweet of you to say! ^^

This is kind of random, but I am watching the 1980 BBC version right now. Have you seen it?

It's interesting that Jane is a brunette here. I guess the whole point of making her blonde was to give her a distinct look from Elizabeth.

[aurora_amethyst]

Yes! It's one of my all-time favorites! I love how playful Elizabeth is and how the sisters really feel like family. I also love Mr. Bennet in that one! He's sarcastic but not too mean, so you can see that he loves Mrs. Bennet in his own way.
