I agree with the other comments , Lovers Vow was very good. This year I’m trying the play The School for Scandal. It sounds very amusing with characters named Lady Sneerwell, Sir Joseph Surface, Lady Candour and Sir Benjamin Backbite.

I've got to make a note of Jane Austen and the Clergy for next year's JAJ nonfiction. Also support the suggestion to read Elizabeth Inchbald's Lover's Vows. It is short and not an amazing play but adds to the Mansfield Park experience.

I don't think I'm going "all out" for JaneAustenJuly this year, either. Over the past couple of years, I've tried making July truly JaneAusten everything, but I have a lot of other things, so even though I'm going to choose books for all of the prompts, I'm not going to get to them all. For me, as long as I read one of her novels, I'm happy about it.- yep, I'll definitely watch that version of Pride and Prejudice. For me, Matthew Macfadyen is the best Mr. Darcy.

I love his performance so much. I was interested in first watching it because of Keira Knightley, but Macfadyen was a great surprise! One year for Victober I did read nothing but Victorian literature all month. That was fun too, but I do like to have variety in my reading.

I'd love to read the book about Austen and clergy. The Tirzah Price series looks really good!

@ArtBookshelfOdyssey 3 дня назад

You should definitely try it out. The first one, Pride and Premeditation, is probably my favorite. But Tirzah Price is very creative in her retellings.

@Klongwell 4 дня назад

I’ve also heard that Celia’s House by DE Stevenson is a retelling of Mansfield Park. I’m reading Mansfield Park too, so my contemporary of Jane Austen read will be the play Lover’s Vows. I’m excited that you liked Manslaughter Park because I was on the fence about reading it. Now I think I will make it a priority. 😊

@ArtBookshelfOdyssey 3 дня назад

I'm trying to get a time scheduled with the author of Manslaughter Park to do a video for Jane Austen July - her books are so fun!

“Time travel shenanigans” 😂😂😂

@ArtBookshelfOdyssey 7 дней назад

Well it’s true lol! I love time travel stories.

@insearchofwonder 4 дня назад

I love the web based series, also. I'm thinking of watching one of those also.

@ArtBookshelfOdyssey 3 дня назад

I'm getting excited to try the MP web series adaptation. I want to get the book done first, but it's been a bit of a challenge this time around.

@dianesellepedrosa1876 7 дней назад

Darcy seems guarded and cautious. He possibly dealt with many immature ladies looking for a husband. ❤️

@ArtBookshelfOdyssey 7 дней назад

Yeah that’s a good way to put it. His first impressions of Lizzy Bennet must have been “oh here’s another woman after my money!”

@lorriemerson5274 6 дней назад

Hi, Art. I'll be reading Persuasion this year. My TBR is on Goodreads. For a JA contemporary, I highly recommend reading, or rereading, Lover's Vows by Mrs. Inchbald. This is the infamous play from MP.

@ArtBookshelfOdyssey 5 дней назад

Oooo, a scandalous play! That would be interesting to read alongside of Mansfield Park!

@lorriemerson5274 4 дня назад

@@ArtBookshelfOdyssey LibriVox has a full-cast free audio of the play Lovers' Vows that runs about 2 hours.

@ellethinks 3 дня назад

I recently watched Clueless for the first time and loved it. I think Mansfield Park is my next Jane Austen novel, but im not sure if I'll get to it for Jane Austen July. Also, I'm not if I've ever commented it, but your audio quality is so nice!

@ArtBookshelfOdyssey 3 дня назад

Aww thanks for saying that! I had a friend who podcasts help me figure out microphones and things before I started my channel and podcast. Clueless is brilliant! I'm really struggling with Mansfield Park this time, not sure why. Thanks for commenting! I haven't seen any new videos from you in awhile, I hope all is well. Glad to hear from you.

@ellethinks 3 дня назад

@@ArtBookshelfOdyssey it's always interesting how rereads of books can feel very different each time we pick it up. This will be my 3rd Jane Austen. I've read Emma and Northanger Abbey and want to leave P&P for last since it's most people's favorite. All is well, thank you! I haven't been inspired to record videos, but have been doing a decent amount of reading and enjoying the summer weather. ☀️

@ArtBookshelfOdyssey 3 дня назад

@@ellethinks great to hear - reading and enjoying summer are great things to do! I also have periods where I just don’t feel like filming so I don’t. I think booktube burnout happens when we push ourselves through those feelings. I constantly tell myself - this is supposed to be fun! And sometimes it’s fun to turn off the camera and enjoy watching other channels and reading books.

OK, my main reads for July this year are Martin Chuzzlewit and Adam Bede, but I’m going to participate in JAJ for the following prompts: Prompt 1/Group Read-Sense and Sensibility (I’m going to try the Nadia May audiobook, simply because I loved her Wives and Daughters SO MUCH) Prompt 2-I’m going to reread Jane Austen’s prayers Prompt 5-I’m declaring Charles Dickens a contemporary of Jane Austen, since he was born five years before she died, so Martin Chuzzlewit fits this prompt! Prompt 6-I’m going to for SURE watch either the 2008 Sense and Sensibiltiy or the 1995 Pride and Prejudice (or both!) at some point during the month!

@ArtBookshelfOdyssey 7 дней назад

I still haven’t seen the 1995 Pride and Prejudice! Could this be the year?

@elizabethjonczyk6818 7 дней назад

Wow what a great list! I'd definitely recommend Jane Austen at Home. That was a great read.
