So, I looked at the 4th picture in the 4th row of the 4th file . . . not great. Then, I looked at the 4th picture in every row. That was more interesting.

I've been a Jane Austen fan for quite a while, myself. I still have a few left to read, though. Wahoo for that. :)<BR/><BR/>Iliana,<BR/><BR/>That's one of the problems with movies and TV, although I will say that Mr. Darcy will always be Colin Firth in my mind and I think that's a good thing. :) I hope you enjoy Just Jane, when you get to it!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-12274810939625823262008-10-26T12:21:00.000-05:002008-10-26T12:21:00.000-05:00Love this review :)I think I'd have a hard time ge...Love this review :)<BR/><BR/>I think I'd have a hard time getting Anne Hathaway out of my mind too if I read this book.

Reading about her life made me appreciate her characters, even more. I can't wait to read your reviews! <BR/><BR/>Nat,<BR/><BR/>I thought about that, but Me and Myself both ignored that train of thought. ;)<BR/><BR/>Ah, thank you for confirming my suspicion about the eggplant error! Back when I went through my British Chick Lit phase, I looked up a lot of unfamiliar words that turned out to be produce (I ended up buying a lovely British/American English dictionary). LOL<BR/><BR/>I'm thinking the same thing. I still have several Austen titles I've yet to read. It's just a matter of finding the time to squeeze one in. <BR/><BR/>Debi,<BR/><BR/>Oh, that sounds fun! I'll have to look for your other Just Jane title. It's not unusual for a single title to end up gracing the covers of several different books. I found that out, back when I had a short story published. Titles can't be copyrighted, so if you're seeking publication it pays to come up with an original title that makes your book easier to locate. <BR/><BR/>Well, "possibly" Jane died of Addison's disease. I recall looking that up, a few years ago. Is it a thyroid problem? I can't remember. I'm glad your brother didn't succumb. <BR/><BR/>Les,<BR/><BR/>Thank you! I have loads of fun with those self-interviews. Have to throw one in, now and then, just for the sake of variety.<BR/><BR/>James McAvoy's role in Just Jane is not my favorite, but he's such a wonderful actor that I was still glued to the screen in all of his scenes. I just read that he's starred in two movies with his real-life wife. I'm looking forward to seeing them -- not sure I even care what they're about!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-55868331009380847622008-10-25T17:19:00.000-05:002008-10-25T17:19:00.000-05:00I love your self-interviews!

A historical fiction novel about a young English girl living in South Carolina during the Revolutionary War. Duh, Debi.<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize that Austen had Addison's disease (of course, I don't really know much about her at all). My brother-in-law nearly died of Addison's disease, so that tidbit caught my eye.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-16717555673673763692008-10-25T06:39:00.000-05:002008-10-25T06:39:00.000-05:00Your interviews with yourself are too fun!
