    A Witch For Mr. Darcy - Jessica L. Jackson

    In our Halloween special 🎃, Alicia and Emilie dive into the world of A Witch for Mr. Darcy by Jessica L. Jackson, a supernatural twist on our beloved Pride and Prejudice. It’s safe to say… opinions were mixed. Alicia enjoyed the spooky vibes and the fresh focus on side characters (shoutout to Mary!), while Emilie struggled with Elizabeth’s portrayal as an all-capable witch who never stumbles.   But this book also got us thinking about something deeper: Mr. Bennet’s tendency to let Elizabeth shoulder way too much responsibility. This “parentification” sparked a real conversation between Alicia and Emilie about the pressures we place on children—and how we're trying to avoid putting too much on our own kids. How much is too much for a child?   In true Halloween spirit, we touch on what really gives us the chills in stories. Emilie admits possession (loss of control 😱) keeps her up at night, while Alicia confesses she’s unnerved by books and tv shows that let readers peek into a truly evil mind.   Plus, we’re dying to know: are there any Pride and Prejudice meets True Crime podcast crossover retellings out there? Asking for, um… a friend. 👀   ----   🎵 Music Credit: Pride & Prejudice Book Club Theme composed, performed, and arranged by Megan Mason. ---- 📚 Curious what we will be reading next?

    Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors - By Sonali Dev

    In this episode, Alicia and Emilie dive into Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev, a modern, gender-swapped retelling of Pride and Prejudice—but with fresh, unexpected twists! Both co-hosts loved how Dev captured the heart of Austen’s classic themes without sticking to a predictable beat-by-beat remake. They discuss how the book thoughtfully weaves in heavier issues like medical ethics in terminal cases, the pressures of family politics, and the emotional weight of infertility—all while still delivering plenty of drama. Alicia especially appreciated how Dev handled these sensitive topics with depth, while Emilie had something to say about guilt’s “tenacious tentacles” and how it entangles the characters (and let’s face it, us too!). Plus, this book made them both so hungry with its mouthwatering descriptions of food! They take a little detour to talk about how their tastes have evolved over time (spoiler alert: it involves a lot more spicy food and cheese). Whether you’re here for the modern romance, the family drama, or just the foodie talk, there’s something in this episode for every Book Clubber. --- 🎵 Music Credit: Pride & Prejudice Book Club Theme composed, performed, and arranged by Megan Mason. ---- 📚 Curious what we will be reading next?
