The 70's did look forward as we have seen in our discussions, yet they were also heavily nostalgic as well. The 50's and the early 60's were the rage then, which can be felt in some cases. Showaddywaddy, for example, made their career by basically being a cover band for the period, though they also felt quite close to glam rock of the time thanks to their production choices. Moreover, their presentation harkened to an earlier era, because their lineup resembled, if you squinted, a possible amalgam of jazz groups and rock bands. I mean, I could actually see them having their own variety show with a lot of questionable skits. Additionaly, you kept having a hunch they stiffled their laughter during their concerts and guffawed like crazy after them.

NOTE
These elements are all found in many different spellings. Old English beorg ‘hill, mound’, for example, turns up as bar-, berg-, -ber, -berry, -borough, and -burgh. Only one form is given above (Thornborough).
Several items have the same form, but differ in meaning because they come from different words in Old English. For example, -ey has developed in different ways from the two words ea ‘river’ and eg ‘island’. It is not always easy deciding which is the relevant meaning in a given place name.
This resource does not distinguish between forms which appear in different parts of a place name. Old English leah ‘forest, glade’, for example, sometimes appears at the beginning of a name (Lee- or Leigh-), sometimes at the end (-leigh, -ley), and sometimes alone (Leigh) (K. Cameron, 1961).

Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag
I was tagged by @bookcub. Thank you! ❤️
Number of books you’ve read so far: 56
Best book you’ve read so far in 2024: So I'm not actually done with it yet, but Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath by Heather Clark. It's fantastic! I'm a little less than halfway through (it's over 1000 pages), but I already know it's going to be my top book of the year, unless something really, REALLY special comes along.
Best sequel you’ve read so far in 2024: Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett with The Sunshine Court by Nora Sakavic as a close second.
New release you haven’t read yet but want to: The Prisoner's Throne by Holly Black, which is the sequel to The Stolen Heir. I just haven't gotten my hands on it yet.
Most anticipated release for the second half of the year: The Trouble with Mrs. Montgomery Hurst by Katie Lumsden! It's coming out in July, and I'm anxiously waiting for my pre-order to arrive. I read her debut book The Secrets of Hartwood Hall last year and loved it.
Biggest surprise favorite new author (debut or new to you): I don't consider an author a real favorite unless I've loved three or more of their books, but I think Devony Looser will end up being a favorite. I read and adored Sister Novelists: The Trailblazing Porter Sisters Who Paved the Way for Austen and the Brontës, and now I need to get my hands on the rest of her books.
Newest fictional crush: I don't have one.
Book that made you cry: Nothing has actually made me cry yet, but Lonely Castle in the Mirror by Mizuki Tsujimura made me pretty emotional.
Most beautiful book you’ve bought so far this year (or received): My copies of the brand new Norton Anthology of English Literature 11th edition! They are so stunning, and I adore them. And I got them for free as desk copies! I can't take a picture right now, but I'll post one soon. I'm truly in love with them.
Book that made you happy: The Sunshine Court by Nora Sakavic. Just it's existence makes me happy! I never thought we'd get another All for the Game book!
What books do you need to read by the end of the year? Hahahaha...too many. But for the absolute must-get-to ones: The Doctor's Wife by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Ariadne by Ouida, Sensational Victorian: The Life & Fiction of Mary Elizabeth Braddon by Robert Lee Wolf, and The Moors and the Fens by Charlotte Riddell. They're all for my dissertation.
I'm tagging (no pressure, of course): @oldshrewsburyian, @thequeerlibrarian, @dauen, and @appleinducedsleep.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
Everyone who knows me knows how obsessed I am over P&P so when I read a Tumblr thread on Pinterest that said that this is one of the best things in the world... okay I didn't watch it instantly cos I'm prejudiced (badumtss) BUT a few years later, I found another thread that says it's amazing and people should go watch it and I'm bored so I thought, "alright?? maybe i WILL watch it????". And I did and it was the BEST FREAKING THING IN THE WORLD OMG.
I've watched the BBC and 2005 version and while I loooveee both versions equally in my heart of hearts, I think this version perfectly encapsulates my idea of Jane when I read the book. Jane was described in the book by Mrs Hurst and Caroline as "a sweet girl". In fact Jane was the only one in the Bennet family who received a compliment from both their judgy ass which further proves just how sweet Jane really was. And the actress totally nailed it, she was so soft-spoken and calm and good natured, when you see her all you can really think about was, "Oh my God she's so sweet".
Charles Bingley/Bing Lee's charac is much more nuanced in here and when you look at what he did to Jane in a modern eye, you might dislike him just a bit honestly. But I guess in this version, their feelings were mutual and they both knew that. In the regency era versions, he didn't know Jane's feelings because she's shy and didn't show it much and along with her family being soooo embarrassing, he was persuaded to end the "engagement" by the people whose opinions he hold in the highest favor. He fully redeemed himself tho the moment he knew and in all the versions, you just couldn't help but like him in the end cos he's an overall good guy and good person just surrounded by judgmental people lol.
Wickham's a first class a-hole, I hated him before but now I LOATHE him, he's a HORRIBLE person hope he dies a most painful death. Meanwhile Lydia, I looove her in this version. I can't believe I'd say this really, it sounds so crazy but yes I do love Lydia. I think she was a victim of her choices but she shouldn't be held majorly accountable for that. She's a kid, she didn't know better but when she did, she gained a lot of wisdom from it.
Lizzie couldn't be more relatable—she was relatable before but now with all the technology, it feels like she's speaking for my soul. Meanwhile Darcy is soooo dreamy, and much much more hilarious. Everytime he shows up I just wanna rewatch it all over again. He's also more intimidating tho in a sense probably bcs of his limited screen time and how the vlogs are structured to only see what Lizzie wants you to see and only what is sometimes taken from a camera "candidly". No other point of views and no other camera points that might suggest otherwise. The whole vlog was totally Lizzie, it's like travelling inside her mind and only knowing people through her. It was definitely a whole other experience to which I absolutely loveeee as I do like to experience P&P in different ways.
Kinda sad that I didn't get to watch it at the height of its popularity tho cos I can only imagine the hype?? the chaos?? the excitement for the next episode next week?? the intensity of waiting for Mr. Darcy to finally appear on screen?? It must've been sooo crazyyyyy
Overall it was 10/10 I can't believe I finished it in 2 DAYS WTHHHH I WAS SO OBSESSED
