If any young men come for Mary or Kitty, send them in, for I am quite at my leisure this #BookFaceFriday.

If you’re a fan of the book to screen pipeline, and you’ve finished Hamnet, Wuthering Heights, and Bridgerton, might I suggest this week’s BookFaceFriday? “The Other Bennet Sister: A Novel” by Janice Hadlow (Macmillian Audio, 2020) is a regency era novel centered on the Jane Austen’s character, Mary Bennet and is now a drama series streaming on BritBox. It’s available as an Audiobook through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries. If you want to find out what’s new check out the “Latest 500 Titles Added” collection on the main page, updated monthly with what’s been added to Nebraska OverDrive Libraries.

“[A] spectacular debut. . . . Writing in prose with the crisp liveliness of Austen’s own, Hadlow remains true to the characterizations in Pride and Prejudice without letting them limit her. . . . This will delight Janeites as well as lovers of nuanced female coming-of-age tales.”
