literarysins asked: "no, thank YOU! :)
reblog as often as you chuse, dear janeites, but do not faint."
I THINK YOU WIN AT LIFE FOR THE SPELLING OF "CHOOSE".
Mainly because I noticed this when reading Persuasion and then I was thinking "... that makes more sense than 'choose' " Sorry. I thought you should know you win the internet. =3

3. Humiliation is the fastest way of growing up.
4. Your feelings are not necessarily right.
5. Don’t believe everything you think.
6. Keeping your eyes open is the best way of...

Post P&P2005 adaptations
There’s no question that the 2005 P&P has had a great impact on the way we view all the Austen novels. I’ve noticed on Tumblr that the 2005 adaptation is the first version of any Austen novel that most people have seen. Claudia Johnson, a Jane Austen scholar, says that the Laurence Olivier is still her definitive Darcy. I just think it’s really interesting how the films have...

Which Jane Austen hero is for you?
CHARLES BINGLEY
Your Jane Austen Hero is; Charles Bingley!
You will fall for a man who has as much wealth as he does abundant charm, a winning smile, and sweet personality. Though he may be lead astray for a time, his heart will ever be true to you.
Yes, if I lived in the Regency, Charles Bingley would be the one for me. He would never tell you what to do AND he wouldn’t beat you even...

Which Jane Austen heroine are you?
Take the quiz here: http://www.strangegirl.com/emma/quiz.php
Not sure how accurate this is, but I think I’m a mix of Elizabeth, Elinor, and Fanny. As for judging people too quickly, SOME BITCHES DESERVE TO BE JUDGED.
REBLOG, Janeites, and tell us which heroine you are! :)

Day 19 of the Jane Austen Tumblr Challenge: Moment that made you laugh while reading.
Whenever death is treated irreverently. Like in Emma, when the tyrannical Mrs. Churchill finally dies and the narrator rejoices. Or in Persuasion, when Dick Musgrove dies at sea and the only thing he ever did in his life was deserve to be...

t-shirts and tilneys
I need a new one! I’m currently wearing my old tee but it’s terribly faded after 6 years of use. Also, I have the Mrs. Tilney tee, which they actually designed at my request. *nerd alert* Apparently no one else wanted Tilney at the time? YOU’RE WELCOME.
Have fun ‘exceeding your income’ at the Republic of Pemberley shop.
ETA: People have actually asked me,...

2. die in a fire
A statement that shows such utter disgust, contempt, hatred, and/or loathing for a fellow human being that you wish for them to expire in an extremely painful(and one would assume spectacular and tragic) way. This is usually precipitated by someone so violating what the wisher considers basic human decency, morals, or intelligence that little other...
