Rachel is a book seller at Unity Books and quite possibly as obsessed with Austen as I am! She'll be joining me this season to discuss Emma.

Rachel mentions The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Also check out the 10 year re-watch with star Ashley Clements.

Emma, Bingley and a secret co-host join me to discuss the most recent TV adaptation of Northanger Abbey. We discuss excellent chemistry, whether John Thorpe might actually be hot (surely not??) and a potential t-shirt.

Amme and I discuss Northbound, a webseries about Catherine Morland who is bound for North college in New York. We both misname characters several times (feel free to judge us). I learn a bit about the difference between university in New Zealand and the States (Amme has attended both).

It's the final chapter! Amme manages to squeeze her two cents in at the end (even though it's Emma's chapter)

Emma thinks children need to be disobedient for their growth and we enjoy Austen putting her own voice into the narrative
