  2. This sounds like so much fun! Oh I would love to see you review "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", because I haven't read it yet, but I'm very curious about it. And, both Emmas! I loved the 2009 version.

  3. This Miss Loves to Read, I already have an review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but I will edit it a little and give it to Misty, she can use it if she wants to. And I will probably try to post something Austen related weekly during the next month.
    2009 is definitely the best Emma adaptation. Compared to it, the 1996 versions are quite boring. :D
