I am curious to know... Pride and Prejudice(s) aside, what is your favorite Jane Austen adaptation? I think I am going to rewatch them as the chilly weather settles in (and make my engineer husband watch them with me, as soon as we finish Ted Lasso)

In the last 2 podcast convos (tomorrow's episode with @ginadalfonzo & the next in 2 weeks with @thoroughlyalive ) WITHOUT PLANNING THIS we geek out over how LM Montgomery and Anne taught us to read and see beauty... I love that. Anyone else just formed by Anne of Green Gables?

C. S. Lewis
Grace Hamman, PhDGrace Hamman, PhD

Fun fact of the day: Lewis's Perelandra is dedicated to "To Some Ladies at Wantage," a community of Anglican nuns (one of them, Sr. Penelope, influenced Lewis's theology). But the Portuguese translation rendered it "To Some Wanton Ladies"... 😂

I finished Yaa Gyasi's Homegoing this weekend. Started in Jan, had to pause for a bit to adequately take it all in. Haunting, challenging, beautifully written.

Ok, not usually a fan of spin-off fiction of classic novels, but The Murder of Mr Wickham by Claudia Gray was actually very fun. If only it were summer, it would make a perfect beach read...
