*gnashes teeth*
I don't know what I want to do more: pull Caroline's hair and bash her head against a wall until she's sorry or hit Mr. Darcy over the head with something. *lol* At least he is actually a good guy whereas that entitled bitch is ... well, NOT.
Oh, we're in volume III now, where Lizzy visits Pemberley with her aunt and uncle. I'm so EXCITED! :D Mr. Darcy's moment to shine is almost here. *grins*

Into volume II now that Mr. Collins has settled on Charlotte Lucas after Lizzy turned him down. Sweetie, you dodged a bullet there!
While I understand that Charlotte was anxious to get married at all (supposedly, she's not as pretty as any of the Bennett sisters AND already "older"), I also understand why that settling for Mr. Collins (or anybody) makes a freethinker like Lizzy despair.

I never liked Mr. Wickham (even when I first read this book) - he was all too ready to besmirch Mr. Darcy's reputation and far too quickly. The fact that Elizabeth didn't notice that seriously disappoints me to this day.
The ball at Netherfield is a truly wonderful scene in this book though. So much delicious conflict! :D (Only the confrontation between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy followed by the latter's letter is better.)

Netflix is doing another adaptation, a series. I saw the teaser ... Lizzy and Darcy are looking good, no weird casting that I can see thus far, but I'm nervous. Well, I always am, but lately there has been even more reason for concern. And this IS one of my all-time favorite books so ...

Collins is repugnant.

It's a more handy version and I wanted a pretty hardcover. So far, they have published 4 of hers, with #5 coming out in May or June. So they are doing all 6, hank goodsness (that's another problem when trying to get good editions).

Umm so its small? Would it look completely out of place on my library shelf? Im probably going to get a nice HC of this instead. Any other works of hers you like and woukd suggest for me?
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Boy, do I ever. I'm a total Jane Austen fangirl. What this woman did in a time when women weren't allowed much of anything is a marvel! And her style is nothing short of sublime. But be careful if you start an in-depth conversation with me about her works - most people get annoyed with me and my passion very soon.I'll send you pictures of its dimensions via IG.

That is my favorite version and the one I rewatch.
And to be fair to Collins, I really do understand in his mind he was doing the family a favor by making an offer for Jane and then Elizabeth--finance-wise it wasn't out of line. In fact, nothing is really out of line in what he does, but it is how he does it that is so icky.
Not just that - the system is as repugnant as this little wannabe. He was just an idiot with delusions of grandeur. *shudders*
