Lost books - do you rebuy or just leave it?
I’m wondering if you buy a book a second time if you’ve misplaced it (or just didn’t get it back from someone you loaned it to…) or if you don’t! I’ve heard of the rule “you don’t re-buy a book” but now I’m missing the first part of a trilogy and it hurts 🫠😅

Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
Should I read the book or watch the movie first?
I know nothing about Pride and Prejudice and have never consumed anything regarding it and I want to both watch the movie and read the book but I'm unsure what to do first. I like to read without knowing the ending but I also find it hard to imagine the characters and locations so I find it easier to read books after watching the movies. Does anyone have any advice?

Have you read other Austen books or classics in general? If not, the style and pacing could be a challenge. I just thought of an idea: you could combine watching the 1995 BBC mini series (all in all it’s 6 hours) with reading the according chapters beforehand. That way you wouldn’t have to read it all the way through before getting more visual information! If you’re into it, I’d recommend reading the following chapters and then watching the according episode: Vol I: Ch 1-10 - ep 1 Ch 11-20 - ep 2 Ch 21- Vol II Ch 11 - ep 3 Ch 12- Vol III Ch 1 - ep 4 Ch 2-9 - ep 5 Ch 10-19 - ep 6
I plan on doing this for a slow winter day soon but if you do it, please share your experience and thoughts! 💕 Either way I’m sure you’ll have fun and enjoy this timeless classic!
