    Just Between Us - By Jayne Bamber

    This week, Alicia and Emilie dive into Just Between Us by the JAFF mashup queen herself, Jayne Bamber! Known for her imaginative reworkings of Austen's world, Bamber has outdone herself this time, blending new characters and plot points with the heartache-laden vibes of All Too Well. But there's a twist—this love story gets a happy ending. Expect a fun, layered episode as we hunt for Easter eggs, pop culture references, and red scarves (you know the one), and unpack whether a little ignorance really is bliss in a relationship. Emilie, as always, gets a little hyper-focused on character communication, while Alicia couldn't get enough of Bamber's skill at weaving familiar Austen themes with new, modern inspirations.  Whether you're a Swiftie, an Austenite, or just here for the sweet romance of it all, there’s something in this episode for you! --- 🎵 Music Credit: Pride & Prejudice Book Club Theme composed, performed, and arranged by Megan Mason. ---- 📚 Curious what we will be reading next?

    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?

    Pemberley - By Mary Smythe

    This week, Alicia and Emilie dive into Pemberley: Happily Ever Afterlife by Mary Smythe, a delightful twist on the paranormal! The co-hosts admit they were expecting something spooky, but the book turned out to be more charming than chilling, with playful spirits and a heartwarming (but slightly mischievous) ghostly presence.  Plus, we’re breaking down the joys of reading just for fun (can we stop judging "chick lit" already?), spotting easter eggs, and sharing some of our own ghost stories! Grab your favorite cozy blanket and settle in for this hauntingly fun episode! --- 🎵 Music Credit: Pride & Prejudice Book Club Theme composed, performed, and arranged by Megan Mason. ---- 📚 Curious what we will be reading next?

    The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen - By Ada Bright and Cass Grafton

    In this episode, Alicia and Emilie dive into The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen by Ada Bright and Cass Grafton—a book that feels like a love letter to Pride and Prejudice fans. As we unpack its time-travel plot and sweet homage to Jane Austen’s legacy, we find ourselves on opposite sides of an interesting debate: Is the book overselling or underselling how much Austen’s absence would impact the world? (Spoiler: Emilie and Alicia have thoughts.) We also get into the challenges of time travel stories, and take a fun detour discussing whether ghosts and spirits are real. Whether you’re an Austen superfan or just here for the silly banter, you won’t want to miss this one! --- 🎵 Music Credit: Pride & Prejudice Book Club Theme composed, performed, and arranged by Megan Mason. ---- 📚 Curious what we will be reading next?

    Pride and Persistence - By Jeanna Ellsworth

    In this week’s episode, Alicia and Emilie dive into Pride and Persistence by Jeanna Ellsworth—a fun, quirky twist on Pride and Prejudice that sees Darcy proposing to Elizabeth…more than once! After a familiar disastrous proposal, Darcy suffers an accident that leaves him with short-term memory loss, and his first order of business in his confused state? Proposing to Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Again. And again. And again! Alicia was worried the repetition might wear thin, but she was pleasantly surprised by how the author kept each proposal fresh and engaging. Both hosts found the story cute, but as sometimes happens, their final opinions differ—tune in to see where they each land! We also get into a side discussion on the double standards society holds for the wealthy versus the rest of us, tying in some current pop culture moments for extra spice. Join us for some laughs, hot takes, and a bit of Austen-inspired chaos!

    My Dear Friend - By Heather Moll

    This week, we’re diving into My Dear Friend by Heather Moll, a charming Pride and Prejudice reimagining where Darcy and Elizabeth exchange anonymous letters through an early version of a dating service.  For Emilie, it’s a You've Got Mail meets P&P dream come true, while Alicia—whose favorite movie is You've Got Mail—was left wanting just a little more substance. Don’t worry though, we still had a blast unpacking our different takes! Plus, we go on a fun tangent about classic movies and pop culture, and Alicia even shares some backstory on how she and Bryce first got together. 😍 Tune in to hear all the juicy details, pop culture references, anecdotes, and more! --- 🎵 Music Credit: Pride & Prejudice Book Club Theme composed, performed, and arranged by Megan Mason. ---- 📚 Curious what we will be reading next?
