And, any excuse to see wet Colin Firth is a good one, IMHO. ;)<br /><br />Trish,<br /><br />Yes, we've had that discussion and I think the correct word for the occasion is "SACRILEGE". But, you're entitled to your opinion. :)<br /><br />I can't wait to read Northanger Abbey! Emma will likely stay my favorite heroine, though. I just can't imagine anyone surpassing her. <br /><br />Fiona says thank you! And, Happy Monday (obviously, we're having a busy week!). :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-56945944218126079552010-06-27T18:37:45.306-05:002010-06-27T18:37:45.306-05:00YAY, glad you've decided to join up (and yes, ...YAY, glad you've decided to join up (and yes, a ball would be PERFECT, but only if there were MANY british men available to attend - specifically ones that look like Jeremy Northam and Richard Armitage).Stephaniehttp://stephanieswrittenword.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-29602845312578278282010-06-26T17:16:36.227-05:002010-06-26T17:16:36.227-05:00Sounds like fun -- I love everything Jane Austen! ...Sounds like fun -- I love everything Jane Austen!

I think the P&P miniseries with Firth is AWFUL (have we had discussions about Firth before? Seems I'm experiencing déjà vu (nice accent marks, huh?).<br /><br />Northanger Abbey is a pretty quick one and fun. Not as developed as the longer novels and the heroine isn't as fun and perky as Emma but it's short. <br /><br />Enjoy!! <br /><br />Oh, and Happy Friday.

That's exactly how I got sucked in; Jan...Anna,<br /><br />That's exactly how I got sucked in; Jane Austen is definitely a guilty pleasure. I try to do no more than one challenge at a time because I'm terrible at challenges! I already had some plans to watch and read more Jane, though, so what the heck. Thanks, you too! :)<br /><br />Krista,<br /><br />I think you might want to avoid Bridget Jones, actually (just judging by what you've been reading and avoiding, this year). It has a lot of bad language and can be a tad racy. Have you read Lesley Castle? I highly recommend that, if you haven't. <br /><br />Bridget, <br /><br />I know! I live to enable. LOL I hope you will join in. I always have such fun reading your posts.<br /><br />Brittanie,<br /><br />You've read all her books? Cool. I love Jane Austen, too, but I've been slow to get to know her writing. You're in just about every challenge under the sun, aren't you? Even if you're failing challenges, you could never be called a failure at reading, that's for sure! Maybe it's just time for you to give challenges a rest, for a while. I joined too many, early on, and now I pretty much know my limits, which helps. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-7976265257931402672010-06-23T20:02:17.542-05:002010-06-23T20:02:17.542-05:00I looooove Jane Austen.

It's a trilogy of books about Pride and Prejudice told from Darcy's point of view and is actually very good. Well...the first and third books are really good. I don't really get the second one. It's Gothic and doesn't quite fit with the other two in addition to having very little to do with P&P or the other books. But the first and third books are the best P&P spin-offs that I've read.sassymonkeyhttp://sassymonkeyreads.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-71397952394088058042010-06-23T07:46:15.719-05:002010-06-23T07:46:15.719-05:00Miss Remmers,

The problem would be, "Is Hampshire ready for hundreds of Jane-loving bloggers to descend upon them in ball gowns? Are there enough British men to go around? All worthy of consideration, if you ask me. ;)<br /><br />Kathy,<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />I'm not sure when I changed my header, but it's only been a few days.
