RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS GIVEAWAY HOP - LET'S CELEBRATE PRIDE & PREJUDICE




Published 200 years ago in 1813, Jane Austen's most popular novel, Pride and Prejudice, turns 200 years old today but has never been fresher and more loved. Pride and Prejudice is in many ways a record book. For instance, it  has never been out of print. It remains one of the best-read novels in the English language, with more than 20 million copies sold.
It's also the most filmed of the Austen novels, with 10 major films and TV miniseries, including the classic 1940 adaptation starring Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson with a script cowritten by no less a literary light than Aldous Huxley. Of course, for many of us Elizabeth has Jennifer Ehle's sweet smile and Mr Darcy Colin Firth dreamy stare.

So I've chosen a P&P - related gift to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Lizzy and Darcy and take part in the Random Acts of Kindness Giveaway Hop hosted at Read for the Future and I Am a Reader Not a Writer.

      I reread P&P en rewatched the series & film to celebrate the bicentenary.
      I also read (and I am still reading) a lot of blogs and articles dedicated to the event.
      At the moment I like Elizabeth Bennett very much as a character (I am watching the Lizzie Bennet diaries).

      Lizzie, she's so strong and outspoken. Not affraid to be herself & willing to admit a mistake. Loving towards her family and friends... Yes she's my favorite P&P character :D

      I decided to pick my favorite non-leading character -- Mrs. Bennett! She's hilarious, but I could not stand to be her daughter
