I just wrote a post the other day about how I need to scale down the number of challenges and how I am toying with the idea of chucking them mid-year. Well, apparently, I lied! I have seen this challenge floating around out in blog land for several days and have decided to jump in. It looks too delicious AND I have movie options so it is not all books I am adding to my pile.
The challenge is the Everything Austen challenge hosted by Stephanie's Written Word.
The details! The Everything Austen Challenge will run for six months (July 1, 2009 – January 1, 2010)! All you need to do is pick out what six Austen-themed things you want to finish to complete the challenge. Click the link above for a great list of movies and books to get you started--luckily, there is a lot of Austen stuff out there!
So, my list for now will include:
Books:
Emma or Mansfield Park (already on one of my challenge lists)
Two Guys Read Jane Austen
Jane Austen: a life by Claire Tomlin
Movies:
Becoming Jane
Clueless
A & E Emma
This should be fun!
What a fun challenge. I love Jane Austen.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you joined in. I'm going to check out the Two Guys Read Jane Austen too.
ReplyDeleteI am still to venture into Jane Austen's world, so I won't be doing this one. But good luck with this.
ReplyDeleteLOL, so much for scaling back those challenges!! This one will be a lot of fun though. I have both Two Guys Read Jane Austen and Jane Austen: A Life on my nightstand, so we can compare notes.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great list...welcome to the challenge
ReplyDeleteThat AUSTEN GUIDE TO GOOD MANNERS sounds like it would be fun, I'll look for your review.
ReplyDeleteI'm so tempted to join this challenge, but I'm resisting (so far!)
