Join us for our second Online Young Adult Book Club! This virtual experience allows you to enjoy the company of other super heroines without leaving the comfort of your own home.

This month's book selection is The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet (http://smile.amazon.com/The-Secret-Diary-Lizzie-Bennet/dp/147676316X) - which is actually a companion book to the incredibly popular Lizzie Bennet Diaries (http://www.pemberleydigital.com/the-lizzie-bennet-diaries/) web series.

What is the Lizzie Bennet Diaries?

"The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (http://www.pemberleydigital.com/the-lizzie-bennet-diaries/) is the groundbreaking multiplatform adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It became the first YouTube series to win a Primetime Emmy, receiving the 2013 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media-Original Interactive Program.

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (http://www.pemberleydigital.com/the-lizzie-bennet-diaries/) reimagines Austen’s classic around a fictional vlog filmed in the bedroom of a 24 year-old grad student, living at home and burdened with a mountain of student debt.

You can follow the complete story here (http://www.pemberleydigital.com/the-lizzie-bennet-diaries/story-lbd/). The series is developed by Hank Green (http://www.pemberleydigital.com/about/team-members/hank-green/) and Bernie Su (http://www.pemberleydigital.com/about/team-members/bernie-su/)."

What is The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet?

"Written by Bernie Su (http://www.pemberleydigital.com/about/team-members/bernie-su/), the series’ executive producer, co-creator, head writer, and director, along with Kate Rorick (http://www.pemberleydigital.com/about/team-members/kate-rorick/), the novelist, TV writer, and consulting producer on the series, the novel features a journal-entry format and design, complementing the existing web series, while including plenty of fresh twists to delight fans and new readers alike. The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet expands on the phenomenon that captivated a generation and reimagines the Pride and Prejudice story like it’s never been done before."

How will this work?

The book can be read as a complete stand-alone from the web series. However, I highly recommend reading the book in-tandem with the series OR reading the book after binging the series. Reading in-tandem will allow you to experience the entire series together, but reading the book after watching the series allows you to discover some of the secrets afterwards. Both would be enjoyable!

During our online chat, I will pull particular clips from the series that we can all watch and discuss.
