Finally, I am all caught up with The Austen Project! There really are no excuses for me to put off The Lizzie Bennet Diaries now. Ahem. Anyway, I went into Northanger Abbey with high hopes, because I genuinely like the original sooooo much. I did my Master’s Thesis on the two film adaptations (the 1980s film is suuuuper campy and not all that great, the 2007 film is deliciously aces and full of female sexual empowerment in ways that Jane Austen would totally approve of in the 21st century, in my opinion), so you might say this has a special place in my heart. I also think that this adaptation will belong there, too. Read my full review to find out why.

Yes LBD yesssssss.
I know it’s not technically a book but could you review LBD when you watch them, pleeeeease?
I wasn’t sure I wanted to read this one, and now I absolutely do. I also need to watch LBD… summer seems a prime time to do just that.
