Mailbox Monday, created by Marcia at To Be Continued, formerly The Printed Page, has a permanent home at its own blog.
To check out what everyone has received over the last week, visit the blog and check out the links. Leave yours too.
Also, each week, Leslie, Vicki, and I will share the Books that Caught Our Eye from everyone’s weekly links.
Here’s what I received:
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Movie-Tie-In edition) by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith.
In the five years since its publication, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has become a true cultural phenomenon, amassing a legion of fans and spawning an entire “mash-up” genre. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton . . . and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. This movie tie-in edition features eight pages of color movie stills and a new introduction by coauthor Seth Grahame-Smith.
What did you receive?
I read it when it first came out. Can’t wait for the movie. We’re going on a date, right? 😉
We must!
Enjoy your reading, and thanks for visiting my blog.
Thanks for stopping by
Zombies not for me!
Ah, too bad. This was just pure fun.
I think this is the only zombie book I ever read, but I won’t see the movie.
I think perhaps the movie will be a rental for me, only because we don’t have a babysitter often
Zombies were never my thing. This is a great cover though.
I like the idea of making Austen more action packed.
Looks like you have a nice edition of this novel. It sounds interesting! Enjoy! happy Holidays!
Thanks, Pat. Happy Holidays to you.
I’ve seen the movie posters at the theater. I hope you love the book.
Thanks, Kathy
Will you see the film version?
I probably will….not sure when though.
I have often wondered about this book. It seems like a spoof but now a movie too? Hope you enjoy it. Have a lovely holiday week.
I’ve read the book before but this one includes some movie scenes.
