I enjoyed CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN addict, and recently read/reviewed the follow-up (well, parallel story), RUDE AWAKENINGS. Have fun with the challenge - nice that it's open to 'everything Austen' - books, remakes, movies, etc. I’m still resisting this challenge … but the pull is strong!

I caught part of Miss Austen Regrets on tv the other day. I wish I'd know it was on as I would've recorded it. Oh well. Northanger Abbey is one of the few Austen film versions that I haven't seen. I must try to rectify that! I’m glad you decided to join the challenge! I caught part of Miss Austen Regrets on tv the other day. I wish I’d know it was on as I would’ve recorded it. Oh well.

It is so tempting! I would like to eventually read all of Austen's books (and see all the corresponding movies). I'm working my way through them, slowly but surely. :-) Good luck with this challenge, Iliana. It is so tempting!

I don't think I'll do it officially, but maybe I'll read or watch something associated with Jane, and I'll certain follow what other people are reading. Enjoy! This sounds like a great challenge!

I tried to do this challenge or a similar one because my oldest daughter is a big Jane Austen fan but I just could not drag myself through any of her books. Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict is a pretty fun read. This is one I won’t have any problem avoiding.

I figured as I was planning to read Persuasion and just saw one Austen movie then at least I was starting off on the right food :) Anna - I loved that we could do a bit of a mix too. I hope it'll help me actually finish a challenge - haha. Sandy - It's all Stephanie's fault :) I've only read two Austen books so slowly but surely I'm working on them. Jodie - Oh yay! Swoonworthy is very good :) Tiffany - I kept seeing so many of my blog friends join in and Austen seems to be all around us so I had to!
