Ok, I love everything Jane Austen, so when Stephanie at Stephanie’s Written Word announced that she was starting an Austen Challenge, I had to sign up!
Here are the rules:
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.
I LOVE the flexibility of this challenge! You can read Austen’s books, Austen-themed books, or watch Austen movies! How easy is this!?
Since I’ve read all of Austen’s books, and viewed most of the movies, I’m picking Austen-ish books to read, and more recent Austen-ish movies.
Here’s my list:
Books
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance – Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem!
by Sean Grahame-Smith
Mr. Darcy, Vampyre
by Amanda Grange
The Jane Austen Book Club
by Karen Joy Fowler

I so want to do this………. I am commitment phobic of everything these days…fear of being overwhelmed…. Good luck Jenn.
This challenge sounds fun. I love everything Austen.
I may just have to do this challenge!
Good luck with the challenge!
I should do this. All of Austen's books are on my shelf, patiently waiting to be read. I think this is the extra little push I need to get started.
And oh, I have to tell you, Becoming Jane is such a good movie I love love love it. ;D
Thanks so much for joining in!! I'm curious to see how you compare The Jane Austen Book Club book to the movie – I had a very strong opinion about which one I liked!
PPZ is one of the best books I have read this year (so far). I hope you enjoy it.
I'm in this one too!!!
I'm excited you're joining in on this challenge as well. Like you I tried to create a diverse list of books, audio and movies. I'll be interested to hear your take on the Becoming Jane and Jane Austen Book Club movies and which you may like better.
I really wanted to participate in this challenge but I have too many to complete as it is. Hopefully she will have it again next year!
