Jane Austen/Women in Classics Book Club
Bookish Notions · Media, PA
A monthly Sunday-afternoon book club at Bookish Notions dedicated to Jane Austen and women in classics, alternating between Austen's original works and modern adaptations or books inspired by her world.
Expect a cozy, intimate Sunday gathering of fellow Austen enthusiasts inside a small independent bookstore, discussing the month's selected title — whether an Austen original like Lady Susan or a modern retelling like The Other Bennet Sister. Because the group alternates between classics and inspired works, conversation ranges from close readings of Regency-era themes to comparisons with contemporary adaptations. The 4:30 PM start makes it a relaxed, end-of-weekend discussion rather than a formal lecture.
