And here we are. The very last ever Sanditon photo-recap. We got our mega happy ending, our catharsis, our tears and laughter. Everyone we loved ended up better off, and everyone who deserved it got their comeuppance. This is what the fans fought for, and Sanditon delivered. It’s been a wild ride recapping this show, … Continue reading Sanditon 3.6 Photo-Recap: All’s Well That Ends Well
We’re in the endgame now. My goodness, things are HAPPENING. All good things, obviously, heh heh, no one we love is dying, everything’s fiiiiiiiiiiine, don’t even worry about it. Okay, so maybe Augusta experienced some shattering heartbreak, and Arthur refused being a side-piece, and Georgiana’s mom was offered money to leave, and Mary has a … Continue reading Sanditon 3.5 Photo-Recap: You Give Love a Bad Name
Well, friends, we did it. We reached the final novel published (posthumously) by Jane Austen. What a journey our girl took us on! Imagine the stories that would've come out of her brilliant brain had she not been taken from the world so soon. *deep, awkwardly emotional sigh* But we shan’t dwell on what could've … Continue reading The Austen Photo-Recap Chronicles; Northanger Abbey
Ah, lovely Persuasion, the mature readers’ Austen. CONFESSION: this book wasn’t my favourite for a very long time. It wasn’t even top 3. I hadn’t read it since my twenties, and it was good, sure, but not as charming as Northanger Abbey, or as romantic as Pride and Prejudice, or even as heartwarming as Emma. … Continue reading The Austen Photo-Recap Chronicles; Persuasion
Ah, Emma, our favourite spoiled rich girl with a heart of gold. There’s been a bit of a resurgence of love for our girl due to the awesome new adaptation that’s been keeping people swooning in their self-isolation. You guys, I love the BBC version with Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller to an embarrassing … Continue reading The Austen Photo-Recap Chronicles; Emma
Ah, Mansfield Park, the book that got modern audiences saying, “okay, but, they’re distant cousins, right?” CONFESSION; though I know it was the custom of the time, and though I respect Austen’s words with everything inside of me, I… (I can’t believe I’m about to admit this to Austen lovers such as yourselves), I have … Continue reading The Austen Photo-Recap Chronicles; Mansfield Park
Ah yes, this tasty number, the book that launched a thousand adaptations. Before I reveal my favourite, let me start by saying I love ALL OF THEM. Every. Single. One. This was my favourite Austen book in my youth (it was also my first Austen book) (you always remember your first) and though my order … Continue reading The Austen Photo-Recap Chronicles; Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen; the woman, the legend, the literary queen. We love her, we admire her, we wish we had more. She gave us six novels, a collection of short stories and essays, and one unfinished story, left to future generations to finish, both delighting us, and tearing our hearts asunder. Basically, she was a sassy … Continue reading The Austen Photo-Recap Chronicles; Sense and Sensibility
Wait. What? No. Hold up. That’s not… that can’t. That’s not allowed, is it? With the twitter campaign to get Sanditon a second season, I knew it must not have tied everything up in the way we have become accustomed with our Jane Austen works. I figured we’d have some character arcs left unfulfilled, or … Continue reading Sanditon Episode 8 Photo-Recap; So You Took A Gamble
Well, well, well. Just when we thought Sanditon would bob, it weaved, when we thought it would zig, it slapped us across the face, laughing, and screamed, “you dare try to predict my outcomes, you fools?!?! Hahahaha, go drink some milk from my asses!” This show got me. It really did. I thought the Mean … Continue reading Sanditon Episode 7 Photo-Recap; Regattapalooza
