I’m the worst self-proclaimed bookworm that ever lived. I can’t even remember the last time I read a book! I have all this guilt festering within my innards as I have so many books collecting dust due to my negligence to pick one up and explore the stories their pages contain. I’m attempting to get back into the habit of reading often, but picking what book to start off with has been a doozy. But since today marks Pride & Prejudices‘s 200th anniversary I thought that it would be appropriate to start reading since I’ve been wanting to give it another go (I totally gave up on it when I was supposed to read it for a Jane Austen class… which I somehow passed with a B) — and I am SO OBSESSED with The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on YouTube! If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a webseries that’s a modern adaptation of Pride & Prejudice and Lizzie is a communications grad student and the web show is to act as being part of her thesis. It’s super interactive too as each character has their own Twitter account and whatnot. Oh, and Jane Bennet works in fashion and has her own LookBook account! It hasn’t been updated in awhile which makes me sad because I really loved her outfits. *le sigh* It’s worth a peek though!
The Lizzie Bennet Diaires definitely played a part in me wanting to give P&P another chance. 🙂
Here’s the first episode of the series:
I’d love to ramble on a bit more, but I’ve got to get going or else I’ll be late for work. Enjoy your Monday! <– what an odd thing to say.
Cheers,

Somehow, I did not know that the Lizzie Bennett Diaries existed. Don’t worry, I am now cured and watching them. 🙂 Thanks for sharing! And I hope you enjoy the book, it really is great.

Yay! I’m so glad you were able to start watching TLBD. And you started at a good time too because there’s all this crazy stuff that’s about to go down with Wickham now! I’m aware of the plot points in P&P so it’s cool to see how they’re putting a modern spin on it. Hope you enjoy the series! 😀
