Forgot to Link Up a Challenge--Jane Austen 2011 Challenge


When I made my list of challenges for the new year, here is one I forgot.  Amy over at A Faithful Journey has a book challenge this year--Jane Austen book challenge.  I have always been a fan of Jane Austen's books.  I believe I have only read Pride and Prejudice and Emma.  I certainly have more to read of hers.  And the cool thing is that I can also read Jane Austen-inspired books.  I don't have an actual set goal of how many books I will read or which ones I will read, but this sounds like a great challenge.  And not only that, but there will be prizes involved.  So this challenge is now a part of new year.  I also plan to get one more challenge going involving magazines.  I will post about this later on today.  Sorry I didn't post last night.  Things were filled with drama yesterday in our home, and things are still pretty tough this morning.  But we are all fine.

Here are the books I would like to read by Jane Austen:

Mansfield Park
Northanger Abbey

Inspired by Jane Austen books to read:

A Darcy Christmas
Writing Jane Austen
Jane's Fame

I am sure there will be more, but this is my initial challenge.

  1. That sounds good! I'm doing the challenge too. I've read almost all of Austen's completed works...hopefully I can finish this year!

    Northanger Abbey is one of my absolute favorites of Jane Austen's!
