As you may know, I absolutely LOVE Jane Austen. "Pride and Prejudice" is hands down one of my favorite books of all time. My wordle this weekend is to honor my dear Jane! If you've never read an Austen novel, not to worry...the dvd versions are pretty darn swell too!
I have this on my desk....
Yep, it's my Jane Austen Action Figure! I smile every time I see it! She's my muse! When I am troubled, I just look at her and ask...
"What Would Jane Do?"
Last summer, I read these Austen inspired books..I even drink my coffee every morning from this mug...
They were fantastic! I highly recommend them both!
This summer I am reading this....
Completely bizarre, I realize, but I am just compelled to read it! My son is convinced the Swine Flu is going to turn us all into zombies, so what the hey?
I am ordering this lovely bookmark from Etsy....oh, my dear sweet Etsy....
More fun with Jane....
"Becoming Jane" is a fabulous movie starring James McEvoy (love him!) and Anne Hathaway. Watch it and then watch all the Jane Austen dvds! ("Pride and Prejudice" with Keira Knightley is fantastic!) Have a Jane-o-rama! I did that last summer and it really inspired me! I'm hoping to watch the newly released Jane inspired "Lost in Austen" dvd this weekend.
Don't forget to join Shannon over at Last Shreds of Sanity for her Weekend Wordles! It's a great way to express yourself!
(How do you like my Jane Austen font? oh..I will be having lots of fun with this!)
Have you taken my Jane Austen heroine quiz over on the sidebar?
p.s. Not Jane related, but definitely a fantastic dvd..."The Duchess"...rent it! I loved this film! She was an amazing woman! Keira Knightley is superb in this movie!
p.s.s. I will be stalking all of you this weekend! Hooray! Flippin' finally!

I watched the movie the Duchess and thought, if she can go through that and forgive than I can do anything! It really got me through a rough spot while T was away.
Thanks for sharing
Cool Wordle. Now how do you get a picture in one of them?
Love, love, love Jane. On my nightstand today: Austenland. Just started it and I can tell that I will LOVE it!!
And yes, spill about the 'Jane' font!!
....that zombie reference made me think of Shaun of The Dead...hehehe...have you or your son seen that movie....I'm not a zombie movie person....but the humor in that move cracks me up! I think I'll have to watch it tonight.
I have never seen a Jane Austen movie and I have never read a Jane Austen book. Although I do remember wanting to see 'Becoming Jane', which I do still, just haven't.
Some day I will. ;0)
A few weeks ago I bought the Zombie book version!
I am right now ready Georginanna, the Suchess of Devonshire, which the movie, The Duchess, is based.
Deep peace and blessings...

so cute! I hope you have seen the A & E version of P & P 200 times like I have because that makes it even funnier! (I had that Dawn doll too!)
m ^..^
I hope my review won't sway you! :)
Have a wonderful day.

I haven't been over here for a while but I spotted you at Wandering the World and thought I would pop over and take a peek!
I was so happy to hear from TypO! I was a little worried!
What do you think of Charlotte Brontë?
I promise to do so............after I finish my "twilight" series ;)
And I must say that "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" scares me a bit..............
(come see all the giveaways! we're on day 4, but have 6 more days to go!!)
Stop by when you get a moment I have a Shelf Reliance Giveaway up :)
Muah, ok going to go catch up!
Hope you are doing well. Swine flu in your neck of the woods or tween caveboy just fantasizing? Err I mean speculating? haha!!
