I’m a self confessed bibliophile and book blog stalker. I enter to win free books (I’ve won two already!) and I leave comments all the time about my favorite reads. One I follow is Stephanie’s Written Word. Stephanie has issued a challenge – a Jane Austen challenge – that is. Over the next 6 months (July 1, 2009 – Jan 1, 2010) you Jane Austen addicts are to imbibe yourself on SIX Jane Austen themed items – her original novels, movies, biographies, Austen-knock off lit – it’s up to you. You can read her original post for all the details and ideas.
I have many challenges going on this summer – Artist’s Challenge, Knitting Challenge – why not add a Jane Austen challenge to the mix.
My 6 challenge items are:
Books:
Persuasion, by Jane Austen
Austenland by Shannon Hale
Jane Austen: A Life by Claire Tomalin
Movies:
P&P with Colin Firth
S&S with Emma Thompson/Kate Winslet
Emma w/Gwyneth Paltrow
Happy Austen-induced romance everyone!
So glad you are joining in!! S&S with Emma Thompson is my favorite movie!
ReplyDeletehow fun! Especially the movies, yum yum Colin Firth.
ReplyDeleteI just checked out "The Help" from the library. Looking forward to it! Grateful for your reviews on goodreads!
Yeah, glad you are joining in! I love the look of your blog! Can't wait to see your reviews. Austenland is fun and those movies are superb as well!
