Rosamund Pike to READ Pride and Prejuduce audio book to be released December 8! (Updated)

Image
Previously, we heard  Matthew Macfadyen , Mr. Darcy himself, read the first proposal scene of Jane Austen 's beloved classic Pride and Prejudice novel . It would've been amazing if he had read the entire book. Also, it would been awesome if he and  Keira Knightley   would read P&P audio book together as I already pictured them as Darcy & Elizabeth whenever I re-read the novel. But since, neither one are reading it anytime soon (perhaps someday, who knows? MM , at least has read a passage of it), I just read this newsbit on  Boston Globe's article  that their former P&P co-star ,  Rosamund Pike   aka Jane Bennet , the eldest Bennet sister will be reading P&P novel 's new audiobook version to be released Next month, December 8th !

Pride & Prejudice References in Pop Culture (Part 6)

Image
It's been a while, like 10 months ago, since I last posted here about a  P&P reference or P&P/Darcy/Elizabeth mentioned   in P&P inspired  books or other non- P&P   books , in  movies , TV shows ,  magazines ,  reviews , or  celebrities  mentioning  Pride and Prejudice   / Jane Austen . I thought I'd update and post here a more recent P&P References , from the most popular  Jane Austen novel , the 1995   mini-series ,  P&P (2005) movie  or any of the  P&P characters  (ie.  Elizabeth & Darcy ) that were  referenced a lot in books, magazines, movies, TV shows, reviews, etc... Here's a new one to add here of the many references I've compiled here to share with you all, which I've actually first posted  here . If you have anything new to share that I haven't posted here. Feel free  to comment and post here as well. I'd love to add them here or compile them in a new post. Thanks  in advance. This one is from P&P

It is a truth universally acknowledged that global fans of Pride & Prejudice ( 2005 ) movie love, love, love watching it whenever it's showing on TV (even though they own the DVD, Blu-Ray, Amazon or iTunes copies) and never get tired of watching it. There's just something magical about it that never gets old for devoted fans of this movie, like myself, who just can't get enough of this movie. I've been watching and talking (ie. 16 Beautiful Things I love about the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film , The Magic Feeling of Watching Pride & Prejudice 2005 film ,  In Retrospect: 10 Years of Joe Wright's Pride & Prejudice and 10 reasons why I still love watching it more and more!   etc.) about it for a decade now and still love and never tire of this movie. Well, what can I say, I dearly love this movie and it made me love Jane Austen 's classic  Pride and Prejudice novel, which it was adapted from and P&P in general. It's also the main reason
