Happy birthday and I hope you have a restorative time off!

Thank you 😊

Love this video - persuasion is my favourite Austen and I love the version with Ciaran Hinds

[@Bryndisdaugtherofgunnar]

I think I've seen that one, it looks familiar. I will have to try to find it and watch it, I'm not a fan of the Dakota Johnson version at all!

@@Bryndisdaugtherofgunnar I saw a few clips of that one on you tube - what did they do it was terrible 😳

[@Bryndisdaugtherofgunnar]

@@victoriaclarke1911 Some of the costumes where strange but mostly it was the fact that Dakota kept talking to the camera. I didn't think that worked in the context of the 1810s, it took me out of the character. Hér comments were observations that were too modern.

I love this, and love these prompts! I may need to read a Jane Austen in July, either a re-read of P&P (my all-time favorite) or a new one to me, like Northanger Abbey or Mansfield Park! My favorite film adaptation is definitely the Kiera Knightley Pride and Prejudice, I went to watch the newer Emma though. Oh and Longbourne sounds cool, definitely interested in that one! Hope you enjoy your time off and get some good rest 😊

[@Bryndisdaugtherofgunnar]

I really like Mansfield Park but Northanger Abbey is also very good. I hope you enjoy whichever you choose.

@@Bryndisdaugtherofgunnar good to know!! Thank you! Hope you have a great reading month 😊

[@ellenmadebookclub]

Your holiday sounds lovely! I would try to find a Jane Austen-y spot outside somewhere to read for a bit 😊 I don’t know how common those are in Iceland but I’m sure there’s something! Longborn sounds really good! I look forward to your thoughts on that. As for movies, I love the “new” Pride and Prejudice. I love that you called Kate Winslet “the other one” 😂 You’re really on top of it in this video haha 😂 I think the Emma movie with all the colors is good, can’t remember who is in it 😊 Helpful, I know!
Good luck with your Austen month and have fun!

[@Bryndisdaugtherofgunnar]

Thank you, I should be able to find an Austen inspired spot somewhere, I think. I think the Emma movie 'with the colours' is the one with Anya Taylor-Joy, the actress from Queen's Gambit. I think that one might be interesting.

[@ellenmadebookclub]

@@Bryndisdaugtherofgunnar Yes it might be that one 😊
