Fanciful Fridays (3)

"Darcy can go play Whack-A-Mole in the corner by himself." 

So remember when I mentioned Pride and Prejudice in that first post?

Well...I haven't actually read it.

*ducks, hands cover face*

I've seen parts of the BBC adaptions (which are GORGEOUS). I know that's not the same thing as the novel, but I WILL get around to it. I will.

But in the meantime? Let me tell you how it showed up on my radar at all. Because if there is one thing about me you should know, it is that I was not initially drawn towards classical novels, much less classical romance novels (I'm more of a fantasy girl).

Well, it started one day when I was perusing the internet as usual...

You know what? No one has time for this. Short version: the Lizzie Bennett Diaries came along and my brain exploded and I love, I love, I loved it *.

Imagine Pride and Prejudice, noted classical romance novel, adapted into a sassy nerdy vlog (video-blog) version and...


BAM. 

Magic.

Watch the episodes, folks. All the episodes. Feel the feelings, laugh the laughs. Super highly recommended.

Maybe it will even get people like me interested in P&P, who knows? It certainly already has.
