Remember when I said I was only signing up for the Sookie Stackhouse Reading Challenge because it was about Vampires? Well, I've gone and done it. I'm signing up for the Everything Austen Challenge. Why all this torture?Here's why:
1. It's Jane Austen
2. It's movies and books
3. It's Jane Austen Sequels
4. It's Jane Austen-inspired books
5. It's only 6 in any of these categories over the next 6 months (July 1, 2009 – January 1, 2010)
Isn't that enough reasons? Ok, here's another, there will be PRIZES, thanks to Stephanie's Written Word.
I'm going to commit to the challenge, and opt for movies and books, but I'll leave you in suspense as to which ones until I review them.
So, what are you waiting for?
Don't forget my current giveaways:
2-year Blogiversary, here and here.

Did you see the book, Mr. Darcy Vamypre by Amanda Grange. You can connect your two passions: vampires and Jane Austen.
I'm joining in the fun, too!
This isn't a challenge I could resist, either. I got a huge kick out of your lack of list and wait-till-I-review it plan. That's some good suspense and tension building, LOL!
Oh, can't wait to see what you decide to watch/read! Thanks for joining in!!
Good luck!!
Sounds Good! Maybe I should also join ;)
BookEscape: I'm waiting for Mr. Darcy, Vampyre to arrive in my mailbox actually. I can't wait to read it.
Fuzzycricket: Thanks for the compliment. I really have a big appetite for these books, so who knows how many I will really read...it could be just 6 or it could be 26. LOL
Stephanie: Thanks for hosting the challenge. It's going to be fun.
Bermudaonion: Good luck to you if you join us as well.
Veens: Sign up. It will be fun.
Even I couldn't resist a Jane Austen challenge ,that too which allows you watch those movies. I signed up..
I think you've convinced me to join you. It'll be fun watching some movies together. I'll probably post this today.

Shona: Thanks for joining us.
Anna: I hope you do join us because we can watch the movies together!
Well if there are prizes involved ...
Jenners: I knew the mention of prizes would entice someone!
What a great challenge.. Good luck.. I am really wavering in my no more challenges commitment.
Toni: I fallen off that no-more-challenges commitment wagon twice in less than a week with the Sookie Stackhouse Challenge and the Everything Austen challenge.
I had promised myself no more challenges either but you are making me want to cave in with this one!!
Cave, Karen, cave!
This sounds like such a fun challenge. I'm trying to resist it but I don't know, it'd be great incentive to read another Austen book! I'm hoping to read Persuasion this summer anyway... hmmm...
Good luck and have fun with it!
Iliana:
I can't wait to get started on this challenge, and I hope you'll join us. The more the merrier.

thanks for posting and happy reading.

I caved in on this one too. It should be fun especially getting to watch a few movies in there too.
Naida: I couldn't resist and neither could you apparently.
Dar: This is just one of those challenges you can't say no to
