I really enjoyed the
Austen in August project hosted at
Roof Beam Reader. The various guest posts gave a variety of perspectives on Austen which I found quite interesting. Based on reading those posts I want to read
Among the Janeites by Deborah Yaffe and I want to spend some time lurking at
The Republic of Pemberly.
I did reasonably well
following the plan that I set for the project:
- I watched and wrote about 3 movies
- I read and wrote about Mansfield Park
- I read A History of England, but haven't written about it yet
- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies didn't make it off the shelf, but I did listen to a biography of Austen by Carol Shields that I didn't know about when I started the project
As my final contribution to the 2013 Austen in August project I draw your attention to a post from Flavorwire recently about very entertaining
Jane Austen themed tarot cards.
