Jane Austen Challenge

Ok, I love everything Jane Austen, so when Stephanie at Stephanie's Written Word announced that she was starting an Austen Challenge, I had to sign up!

Here are the rules:

The Everything Austen Challenge will run for six months (July 1, 2009 – January 1, 2010)! All you need to do is pick out what six Austen-themed things you want to finish to complete the challenge.

I LOVE the flexibility of this challenge! You can read Austen's books, Austen-themed books, or watch Austen movies! How easy is this!?

Since I've read all of Austen's books, and viewed most of the movies, I'm picking Austen-ish books to read, and more recent Austen-ish movies.


Here's my list:


I'm really excited about this one! Talk about easy-peasy! Interested, head over to Stephanie's Written Word and sign up...go on...do it!

    I should do this. All of Austen's books are on my shelf, patiently waiting to be read. I think this is the extra little push I need to get started.

    And oh, I have to tell you, Becoming Jane is such a good movie I love love love it. ;D

    Thanks so much for joining in!! I'm curious to see how you compare The Jane Austen Book Club book to the movie - I had a very strong opinion about which one I liked!

    PPZ is one of the best books I have read this year (so far). I hope you enjoy it.

    I'm excited you're joining in on this challenge as well. Like you I tried to create a diverse list of books, audio and movies. I'll be interested to hear your take on the Becoming Jane and Jane Austen Book Club movies and which you may like better. :)

    I really wanted to participate in this challenge but I have too many to complete as it is. Hopefully she will have it again next year!
