Review: "Pudge & Prejudice" by A.K. Pittman

I first read Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice as a junior in high school. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed 🤣 ... but as a senior in college, I was introduced to the 5-hour 1995 miniseries, and suddenly I was ALL IN on Austen. I've never been a classic literature snob, so I've read and watched all the retellings/adaptations/loosely based on the book stories ... and when I heard about Pudge & Prejudice, well, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it!

Review: "First Impressions" by Debra White Smith

For as long as I've been familiar with Jane Austen, I've been a sucker for Austen adaptations. Movies, TV shows, web series, books ... I'm not picky! First Impressions was probably the first Austen adaptation I ever read, back when it first released in 2004. I actually read all of Debra White Smith's Jane Austen Series when the books originally came out, but I got rid of them a few years ago. I had such fond memories of First Impressions that when the repackaged version with this gorgeous new cover came up for review, I jumped at the chance to get it.
