:: Book Club :: Pride and Prejudice


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

    ReplyDelete
  49. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  50. 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!)

    ReplyDelete
  51. 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!!

    ReplyDelete

    Its always good to have an excuse to read P&P again. :) Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
