I’m going to recap ’s “An American in Austen” over at Excessively Diverting (https://excessivelydiverting.substack.com/). The movie is on tonight at 8 p.m. EST and the issue will be out n a few days.

Premise: “Harriet, who thinks that no real man compares to Mr. Darcy, is transported into Pride & Prejudice and gets an unexpected chance to find out.”

I try not to buy paper books anymore so as not to accumulate more stuff. But some things are worth it. I have finally treated myself to a special Chronicle Books edition of Pride and Prejudice. Each letter is reproduced and included in a sleeve within the book. The edition is beautiful. But now I am afraid to open the letters due to a worry I will never be able to fold them again and put them back.

Pride and Prejudice Chronicle Books edition from the top, you can see the pages separated by sleeves containing letters

A homophobe tainted my notifications with their opinion on the article I tweeted about the top LGTBQIA+ movies to watch on Hulu. I blocked them. Don't be that asshole.

I posted that link because is included which is a spin on . I really liked . It was a fun swap of Darcy and Elizabeth. If you don't like it for whatever reason, keep scrolling on by. I have no qualms about blocking people if you want to get cute.

A world at war. A high society pretending everything is fine. A magic pixie or two.

This is the tale of Pride & Prejudice... As you've never known it.
