UPDATES FOR AUSTENITES

Ana is right, Jane Austen is quoted a lot in this blog... And I have to say December was my month to "revisit" Jane. I was watching a TV miniseries, Lost in Austen, which may be sappy but it also gives us a different outlook on our favourite characters from Pride and Prejudice. And also I was not at all disappointed to see a different Mr Darcy emerging out of the fountain at Pemberley. Not bad at all.

And then I incidentally got a hold of Jane Austen Made Me Do It, a collection of short stories which I'm reading at the moment. As soon as I'm done anyone who'd like to read it is more than welcome to read it. I'm attaching Amazon's review below:

"An anthology of 22 original short stories inspired by Jane Austen, literature's witty muse of the modern novel and astute observer of human nature and the heart, with contributions from Adriana Trigiani, Karen Joy Fowler, Lauren Willig, and other bestselling and beloved authors. Indisputably one of history's most cherished and widely read writers, Jane Austen has had an incomparable influence on contemporary fiction, inspiring countless bestselling sequels and spin-offs. This engaging collection of completely original short fiction pays homage both to the great Jane as well as to the wonderful stories she helped to create, featuring new Austen-esque fiction such as "A Night at Northanger," by Lauren Willig; "Love and Best Wishes, Aunt Jane," by Adriana Trigiani; "Jane and the Mistletoe Kiss," by Jo Beverley; "Jane Austen's Cat," by Diana Birchall; and many more.
