My love for Jane Austen

If it ever so happens that I get to confess my love for Jane Austen, people usually assume – if they don’t just  think I’m an even bigger nerd than I was before – I just really enjoy the Pride and Prejudice movie with Kiera Knightley. Now, I really do love that film. I probably watched it over twenty times and I will admit that with every time my crush on Mr. Darcy became bigger (gah!). Still, when I say I love Jane Austen I’m not just talking about that movie. I am actually talking about all her novels, but also about the really cool spin-offs that have sprung up in the last 200 years. In the last two years or so that I have been reading Austen’s novels, I’ve stumbled upon lots of these new adaptations. Because I think some of these gems are worth checking out, even if you’re not into Regency novels and stuck-up guys in tight pants, I decided to share my favorite ones with you today.

Friday Favorites

It's Friday! Which means that for me not it's not only the end of the schoolweek, but also the beginning of my vacation. The last week has strangely been a stressful, but at the same time relaxing week for me. I had a lot of schoolwork to finish up, but at the same time lots of my classes got cancelled. So, in spite of pressing deadlines I spent quite a few hours hanging out in the park with my friends, checking my Youtube subscriptions and just randomly clicking around on the internet. These are some of the things that caught my eye.
