It's an all-Austen episode: Sanjana formally pitches The Other Bennet Sister, arguing the show works because it lets Mary Bennet stay a genuine weirdo instead of &ldquo;yassifying&rdquo; her. Then Nikki Payne joins to talk Jane Austen: her Clueless-into-Emma origin story, why Sense and Sensibility reads more like a philosophy argument than a romance, and her theory that you can always tell when the characters boned off-page. And: Mutual homework, as Sanj and Tyler both consumed Sense and Sensibility for the first time. <ul> <li aria-level="1">Sanj pitches <a href="https://www.britbox.com/us/show/167491?autoplay=true">The Other Bennet Sister</a> on BBC/BritBox (an adaptation of <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-other-bennet-sister-a-novel-janice-hadlow/b17ce49aa19f8371?ean=9781250787620&bkshp-astro=t">a novel by the same name by Janice Hadlow</a>).&nbsp;</li> <li aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nikkipaynebooks/?hl=en">Nikki Payne</a> is the author of <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/pride-and-protest-nikki-payne/1c76468ddc40d5e1?ean=9780593440940&bkshp-astro=t">Pride and Protest</a>, <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/sex-lies-and-sensibility-nikki-payne/e4797b571bbb3dab?ean=9780593440964&bkshp-astro=t">Sex, Lies and Sensibility</a>, <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-princess-and-the-p-i-nikki-payne/27443279977f934f?ean=9780593817360&bkshp-astro=t">The Princess and the P.I.</a>, and the upcoming <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-pro-and-the-con-nikki-payne/56cbe5d8b475fa0c?ean=9780593817384&bkshp-astro=t">The Pro and the Con</a>.</li> <li aria-level="1">Two of Nikki&rsquo;s favorite Austen retellings:  <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/ayesha-at-last-uzma-jalaluddin/d1f381aa163d5e2b?ean=9781984802798&bkshp-astro=t">Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin</a> and <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/unmarriageable-a-novel-soniah-kamal/2588bdf70904eadd?ean=9780525486480&bkshp-astro=t">Unmarriageable by Soniah Kamal</a>.&nbsp;</li> <li aria-level="1">Mutual homework: <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/sense-and-sensibility-jane-austen/2fec141323e8dfd7?ean=9780141439662&bkshp-astro=t">Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen</a>.
