I loved when ATY did the prompts for the Wedding theme; something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. That time I went with Pride and Prejudice (old), Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe (borrowed), Unmarriageable (blue) and Pride (new).
This year the prompts are 3 books relating to past, present and future. I played around with this for awhile and was trying to figure out a theme with The Guest List as the present book but settled on (another) Jane Austen theme.
Several people, and a famous actress from the US, from a small English village where Jane Austen lived, whom all love Jane Austen, start the Jane Austen Society. They raise funds, start a museum and help reading programs post World War II. (I wonder if it is roughly based on how Jane Austen’s small cottage really became a museum).
A London working woman joins the Jane Austen Dating Agency with promises of regency style dates. She evens admits she’ll date a Wickam, until she does. There’s money laundering, and typical rich people business and love.
Each I listened to through Hoopla (listening to the Project still). So I’ll be back with an update on that.
