Everything Austen Reading Challenge

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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  5. 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

  13. I had promised myself no more challenges either but you are making me want to cave in with this one!!

  14. 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!
