Weekly Roundup: “Texts from Jane Eyre” and “Ladies in Waiting,” Mystic Monk Coffee, and We’ve Got Issues

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.

Catherine's library find is a couple of titles that take inspiration from literary classics: Texts from Jane Eyre: And Other Conversations with Your Favorite Literary Characters by Daniel M. Lavery (from 2014) and Ladies in Waiting: Jane Austen's Unsung Characters, a recently published anthology of nine tales. Mentioned: The Mr. Darcy and Miss Tilney mystery series.
​
Terri's random recommendation is Mystic Monk Coffee. Her shipment finally arrived, after taking a detour from New Jersey to New Hampshire and back again, and she's pleased with the flavors. (But also, someone stop her before she orders more coffee.)

In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2017 on making kids' issues our own. Mentioned: "I Miss My Ex's Dad" from Saturday Night Live.

Next week's lineup:

• Lost S4 E7, "Ji Yeon," on Tuesday, December 16
• The Lowdown S1 E5, "This Land?," on Wednesday, December 17
• Weekly roundup on Thursday, December 18
  
  

Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
