:: Book Club :: Pride and Prejudice

April 30, 2011
Book Club! Again! Yes! Do you want to join us? We are going to read Pride and Prejudice. I know you might have read it, but let’s read it again. You don’t have to read it in any particular time frame, because we are all super busy and some people read super fast (and others not!) AND we will have some chats here about the book each week.
In the past we have read Jane Eyre, Anne of Green Gables, My Family and Other Animals and a couple of other books. It’s really nice to read along with a big gang of ace people.
Do you want to join Book Club?! Do you want to read with us?! Sign up in the comments section below!
Saturday will be Book Club Chat day here! There is a Book Club button in the side-bar here too, if you want to add that and show your Austen colours!

xx Pip

    Wow…, wow…, wow…, a lady after my own heart and someone who has read "My Family and Other Animals" (my most favourite book) – friends for life. Then you add Mr Darcy and Anne of Green Gables and well I am very close to being in heaven, just a little coffee and chocolate and and and what about some "The Egg and I by Betty MacDonald" and and, I should go now. – Thanks Pip

    Honey, where have you been all my life? LOL I love anything Jane Austen and would love, love, love to join some fellow P&P lovers in a discussion about this, the original piece of classic chick-lit!

    It was free when I got it but it's only $1 now.

  • pheness May 2, 2011 at 9:06 AM

    Excellent, I've been waiting to, and putting off reading this again for ages (study is my feeble excuse). This sounds like the perfect antidote excuse to get out my book! Thanks Pip!!

  • Lauren M May 2, 2011 at 4:48 AM

    Ooooh count me in! It's about time I bust out the ol' P&P again! (Maybe I'll be daring and read it while watching the 95 BBC version too! Scandalous!)

  • Jess the Reader May 2, 2011 at 4:43 AM

    Oh, yes please. I would like to join.

    I was feeling shy and had almost decided not to do it when I came to the post itself, and saw all the lovely comments. That gave me a nice boost, and I decided to be brave!
