If you are a podcast fan, the most recent episodes of Agents of S.M.O.O.C.H. cover P+P 2005 (April 25) and P+P 1995 (April 11). I love the podcast as a whole, but these episodes were top-notch. They are available at all fine podcast retailers.#AmReading #AmWriting @bookstodon #books #Bookstodon #WritingCommunity #ReadingCommunity #Regency #Georgian #JaneAusten @romancelandia

Usually, articles like this stick to the houses used in the movies, but BBC goes in and also includes locations such as parks, grounds, and villages.

Money. Standing of family. Love matches did not exist...or did they?

Rochester and Heathcliff are toxic af. What do you think?

What I like about this article (outside of all the fecking ads) is that the properties are just not the houses where the movies were filmed. It includes the lake 1995 Darcy swam in, the hill they picnicked in 2009 Emma and more.

So, what do you think of the casting of Darcy and Lizzie? I do love Olivia Colman as Mrs. Bennet!

Quick thought: Women of the lower classes were plain (Miss Bates, Fanny Price, Anne Eliot) while women of middle class (Elizabeth Bennet, Catherine Morland) are pretty enough, while women of the upper classes were beautiful (Emma). Thoughts?

A lovely review of "Jane Austen Wrecked My Life" which is set to open in May 23 and then going wide a week later. I live in a rural area, but our local indie theater brings in great stuff, so here's hoping it shows up!

A reporter from the Irish Times explores Bath in the celebration of Jane Austen. Nothing new of note here if you’re familiar with Austen’s connection to Bath, but I do like perspectives of other people’s enjoyment of Austen.
