We are celebrating Jane Austen all of 2025 leading up to the 250th anniversary of her birth on December 16th, 2025! How better to celebrate than by reading (or re-reading) all her finished novels! We are starting January with arguably the most well-know of her works -- Pride and Prejudice.
Pride & Prejudice has given the world both Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. Their story is one of the original rivals to lovers. Jane Austen's books are more than romance (though I obviously love that part), they are commentaries of the social expectations of the time. A lot of what readers of today note is "How can they not just talk to one another??? Why is there this miscommunication??" Reader, I totally get it. But also...don't question the unifying principles of the book. There is a reason that all these years later we not only read or re-read her works we watch adaptations en masse. Below you will find links to not only her title, but adaptations and retellings I think you'll enjoy!
