I’m sure mrs jennings means well but she’s quite annoying lol

[🌙 @novelwanders]

wait guys I was getting bored and then elinor found out that edward is actually an engaged man

[🌙 @novelwanders]

is persuasion just REALLY good or is sense&sensibility a little flat? I’m just waiting for something to actually happen but it’s just everyone talking about each other’s lives

[🌙 @novelwanders]

ooooh this was a great read. besides a few changes to some characters, the 2016 adaptation is surprisingly faithful to the novella up until the third act. that said, I still prefer the film bcs it feels much more layered, especially with class and race woven into the story

@catsaesthetics that makes perfect sense! I did not know this at all so thank you for sharing.

[🌙 @novelwanders]

@franclaiir that makes sense, considering I went into s&s blind. I think what makes persuasion stand out is that it’s far more melancholy than austen’s other works, and everyone loves a good dose of angst. the cherry on top, of course, is wentworth’s letter.

@thrushcrosses I’ve heard only good things about emma and mixed reviews about northanger abbey so I might give them a chance someday

[🌙 @novelwanders]

@bensoph_hc let me know your thoughts if you ever pick it up again. I’m curious to know what you think of it

[🌙 @novelwanders]

I hope lily bonner never loses her whimsy

[🌙 @novelwanders]

reading sense and sensibility next and for the first time <3

[🌙 @novelwanders]

the only good thing about 2022’s persuasion was that wentworth actually looked like he had been away at sea but they just had to go ahead and butcher everything else
