Did anyone catch #LoveandJane last night on Hallmark? No? Have I got you covered!

Premise: Lilly, a hopeless romantic and literary enthusiast, is surprised when her wish to talk to her favorite author comes true and #JaneAusten herself appears in her life.

@forpeterssake @bookstodon I go into these not expecting much because they /are/ Hallmark movies. I would not rewatch "Paging Mr Darcy" but I would watch “Love & Jane" again if I happened to catch it on TV. I AM excited for the new period adaptation of #SenseandSensiblity which is the last movie of the month.
