In case Zombies aren’t to your taste, you may find the cozy classic version of Pride and Prejudice a delightful felted regency treat! And yes, it’s as adorable as it looks!

Mini Review: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, ⭐️⭐️
I love Pride and Prejudice. I also love zombie. So a book with both? Um… Yes please! So did they work together? My answer is yes. Was this book written well? No. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Do I wish it had been written by someone who actually understood and appreciated Austen? Yes again.
I’m giving this book two stars, one for the butt-kicking Bennet sisters and one for the occasional funny moments that made me laugh out loud.
But here’s the thing, the author did little to adapt the content. Yes there were Zombies thrown in here and there, but the addition of Zombies did not affect the plot at all. Which you would think it would with all the undead walking around, but I think my expectations were for a retelling and not a less-nuanced rehash of Pride and Prejudice.
My biggest complaint is what WAS changed: the characters. I think the author only barely grasped the characters Jane created, and as a result, they made decisions that were jarringly out of character. They just felt lazily put together–like Mister Collins was short and fat which is how he was portrayed in the movies, but he is tall in the books. And there was promiscuity thrown in that was, again, out of character and unnecessary. Same with characters reacting violently to situations which made no sense at all.
If you love Jane Austen, don’t read this. Got to a book store and have a laugh at the illustrations. If you hate Jane Austen, don’t read this. The vast majority of the novel is too close to the original (and not even written as well) for you to enjoy it, and to be honest, I laughed just as much reading the original as I did this book. I do however, plan to see the movie because at the end of the day it’s still Zombies and Mr Darcy so I can’t say no.

TBR Spotlight: Newt’s Emerald by Garth Nix
Magic, Maids, and Masquerades? Umm I think Nix wrote this book especially for me because that is everything I love. And that cover!! I read the description and just knew I would love this book!
“Inspired by the works of Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, Garth Nix’s Newt’s Emerald is a Regency romance with a fantasy twist. New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger calls it "charming; quite, quite charming.”
After Lady Truthful’s magical Newington Emerald is stolen from her she devises a simple plan: go to London to recover the missing jewel. She quickly learns, however, that a woman cannot wander the city streets alone without damaging her reputation, and she disguises herself as a mustache-wearing man. During Truthful’s dangerous journey she discovers a crook, an unsuspecting ally, and an evil sorceress—but will she find the Emerald?“
That summary, amiright?!?

Gifted from @prhinternational
One of my current reads that even though I’m enjoying, I barely read any of it. I find it super duper hard these days to get into fantasy and this is straight up that, even though the setting is modern day. I just need to power through!
Any book you knew/know you would enjoy but read very slowly?

Any VE Schwab fans here? ♀️
Hey guys, sorry for being MIA, I’ve been kinda busy in the last couple of days, but now I’m back.
And I really need to reread the first book of this series so I can continue with it but I don’t have my copy here so I always forget about it.
What’s a series you started but never finished and why?

What’s your current read?
Here’s one of mine, actually an audiobook, called These Witches Don’t Burn by Isabel Sterling and I am LOVING it so much! I had my eyes on it for a long time, even before publication, but I forgot about it. Then I got an audible credit and was wondering what to get for it and as I looked through my want to read list on Goodreads, this gem popped up. After making sure I liked the narrator, it was an instant purchase. It’s full of female friendships and queerness and I am living for it. I’m gonna read the blurb below in the comments and I strongly recommend you all pick it up too!

Luckiest book find? Every got anything from any bookstore that surprised you when you opened it?
This is the Norwegian edition of Laini Taylor’s Daughter or Smoke and Bone which I found in a bookstore here for about $2.50 on sale so of course I couldn’t leave it there… only to open it when I came home and find that IT IS SIGNED!! How lucky I am! Can’t wait for the day until I can properly read it and understand every word.
How was your day? I had a quite productive one with work and such and now I’m about to settle in bed to watch some more of season 2 of Elite.

Spent the day watching Killing Eve s2 with my host dad so you could say I didn’t have a productive day. But it was still fun, it’s rare when both of us are home and we don’t have anything to do but when it happens, we are usually watching something good.
Litteraturehuset is one of the coolest places here in Oslo, and although I haven’t been back since last year, I walked past it and admired a lot since I moved here. I’m trying to go out more and explore more as my time allows but sometimes I’m just too lazy to do anything.
Do you have a favorite place in the city where you live? If yes, what is it? ☺️
