We've got some new-ish episodes heading your way. We've been taking a little break for a while now, and have had these ones sitting around waiting to be posted. As we head into reading our next book - Persuasion - we'll be posting some of these old records while you wait!
In this episode T is said that there is less gayness, likes Judy Dench better, and compares this episode to Twilight. Kate is still a super fan who is there for all the wet t-shirts and pinky rings. Come join us and have some fun!

Manglende episoder?

This episode we finish off Northanger Abbey. We discuss a little bit more about the Morland household and how Mrs. Morland is as a parent. We discuss how much we love Henry and the way romance plays out at the end of this book. We discuss how much we LOOOOOOOVE Jane Austen and how she's really smart about her romance writing and letting her audience fill in the blanks with their own imaginings. AND we compare to Pride and Prejudice, discuss future books, and celebrate that we've successfully made Theresa read another Jane Austen novel! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

In this episode we discuss our final thoughts on Isabella - is she a victim, a villain, or something in between? We discuss Catherine's anxiety - both how it's relatable and ridiculous. We discuss our love for the Tilney's, their secure attachment, and their love for Catherine. Once Catherine makes it home after her shocking booting from Northanger Abbey, we discuss the Morland household and Catherine's growth. And of course - as always - we discuss why Henry Tilney is the best! BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!

These three chapters are Kate's three chapters - and we talk about WHY! Catherine has convinced herself that General Tilney is a murderer - and she has to find her way back to Mrs Tilney's bedroom to finish her investigation. But in classic Scooby-Doo mystery fashion - Catherine realizes that she's been making up her own ghost story. We discuss Catherine's fall back to reality - and how being caught by Henry is the one who unmasks the villain! (The villain is Catherine's imagination)
And HENRY! Omg - he is amazing. Not only is he a perfect example of secure attachment - he supports her through the end of her friendship with Isabella and the emotional fall out. We love him soooooo much!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

We're sorry we've been away! But here we are and we're finally getting to know Northanger Abbey. We both agree that Catherine seems to tell herself stories because not much happens for her day to day. The idea of hiding under the sheets to hide from the scary things your brain has conjured up, doesn't seem that far fetched to either of us. What's in the chest! What's in the cabinet! It just seems like a way an anxious brain sometimes works. T is still trying to figure out General Tilney, but at this point we can conclude they do not like him. "Red Flag! Red Flag! Red Flag!" Catherine is trying to distract Henry with flowers, and his flirting is going straight over her head. MURDER! Someone could have possibly maybe been murdered, and T isn't down for the logical leaps. Catherine Morland - cute goth - She'd really fit into a Scooby Doo Mystery.

We're finally making our way to Northanger Abbey... but first we have to endure a little bit more of Isabella Thorpe. Catherine is greatly confused by Isabella flirting with Captain Tilney, but much like Henry neither of us is surprised. We get some decent flirting in these chapters between Henry and Catherine. Henry Tilney continues to be the embodiment of sweet caring secure attachment. Who wouldn't want a boyfriend who drives well and tells you horror stories to get you excited to see his family home. T does try to compare John Thorpe and Mr Darcy, but we will forgive them that because they were trying to make a point. Come on down and have some fun while we make our way through the dark caverns of Northanger Abbey.

Things are heating up! This episode we've got some dialectics, some grey rocking, some amazing flirting, and some sparkle goths. Join us while we complain about Isabella being Isabella, while we gush about how Catherine handles interpersonal conflict so well, and while we (mostly Kate) sing Tilney's praises!
Do you think Catherine would be the most optimistic goth you've ever met? Did your parents arrange your play dates? Are you excited to be getting out of Bath and away from the horrible Thorpes?

TW for this episode: Some discussion of Domestic Violence.
We're back... kinda! Due to some health and life issues, we haven't set out a recording schedule for Northanger. So this is an extra episode to tie you over. In this episode, we discuss the 2005 film adaptation! Our conclusion, it's weird. It's a good movie, but it's weird. Also - you know what this movie needs, BUTTS! From cat Judy Dench to Darcy being trapped in a statue, we cover it all. Enjoy!

We’re back and almost done Pride and Prejudice. This episode had it all! Lady Catherine being entitled, Lizzy taking no shit, Collins being Collings, Mrs Bennet giving us second hand embarrassment, Mr Bennet being his sarcastic self, Jane and Bingley being super adorable, and Darcy! DARCY! We love love!
Why do we love Darcy and Elizabeth? They get tongue tied talking to each other. They will treat each other like equals. They create a strong healthy foundation (SERIOUSLY! SWOONY THERAPIST STUFF!). And, they are so excessively cute awkward turtles! We love love!

This episode we talk about: Lydia and Wickham set out - and we aren't unhappy that we won't see them for a long while. Bingley comes back - WITH A FRIEND! Darcy and Elizabeth are awkward turtles - and we are here for it. Bingley and Jane being their own awkward soup. We are super happy for Jane! YAY JANE! Theresa is preparing to burn their book and hate Jane Austen if there isn't an epilogue that tells us about everyone's life after the HEA.

In this episode Theresa is asking "Where is Darcy?" We discuss how Wickham is evil and give our musings on some of his abusive behaviour and predatory traits. We struggle with Jane as she focuses on intent over impact, but we also see her as the rock that has kept the family operating during this trying time. We are frustrated with the Bennet parents, and deeply wish the Gardiners could have been the parents instead. We wish Wickham was dead and we feel for Lydia. We discuss how horrible Collins is and how Austen uses him to critique a particular worldview (if you have these views you should challenge them – because you have the same views as Mr Collins). And we are here for the sibling love - both our's and Jane and Lizzy's.
