The Jane Austen Challenge

If I did this right.... Everything Austen  over on Stephanie's Written Word  blog and I heard about this from someone on Book Blog on ning.com,  the author of the blog has challenged Austen lovers to six solid months of Jane Austen themed things. 
I am going to do this.  Yes I am going to do this.

Okay so my 6 things are....  

  1. Read Mansfield Park and do a comparative of the movies with the book
  2. Read The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen by Syrie James (which has been in my to read pile for almost a year)
  3. Review Becoming Jane the movie
  4. Locate and read Mr. Darcy Vampyre (how did I not know about this book?)
  5. Review the men in Austen's novels (that will be a tall order)
  6. The Jane Austen Book Club.... do a review and comparative of the book and movie with a twist... 
And I will add one or two extra items just incase I have a difficult time....   Locate and read a copy of Jane Austen in Boca.
Locate and read one of the other Jane Austen spin offs. Which of course will have a review.  
Locate and review a copy of Bride and Prejudice. 
Locate and review a copy of Clueless (it's been 12 years since I saw that film)

The challenge starts tomorrow July 1 2009 and runs until Jan. 1 2010. 
Wish me luck.

  2. Jane Austen in Boca is an interesting title. I'll have to read the description for that one. Enjoy your challenge. Look forward to your Jane Austen men review.
