She also sent a photo of the book for sale at the JA Centre at Bath. I wish I could go to Bath like my book... *pouts*
(My book is in Jane Austen's HOUSE!)
Speaking of Jane Austen's house, I saw Becoming Jane again tonight...it does not improve upon closer acquaintance.
...unless, perhaps, he carries a Treo!!!
I'm pretty sure that's a Treo. Isn't it a Treo? Like a 650 or 700?
I knew we were meant to be. :-)
Check out more pics from his latest appearance on Brodylicious. Gosh, he looks great. I heart you, my sweet babboo!
Show us a self-portrait.
Show us some magnets.
Incidentally, she has a magnet in the back of her head so she sticks to my cabinet. Very handy. Though today I had a difficult time explaining why a Jane Austen bobblehead doll would be disrespectful and a Jane Austen Redrum fingerpuppet with a magnet in her head was not.
(Like my ghetto yard with the roll of fencing and pot o'weeds? The dead spots are because that area gets no sun--my neighbor's trees are so overgrown above it.)
I just finished reading this at lunch today. It's wonderful. I must Netflix the miniseries now. I hope I'm not as disappointed as I've been by the much-ballyhooed Jane Austen Season so far.
Molly was a bit more of a picture of perfection than we might be used to from Jane, and while the novel had its humorous moments, it was hardly Austen-grade funny. But I enjoyed it very much and it certainly was a page-turner till I figured out the "mystery" (I had my suspicions but was a little off.)
I'm on a Gaskell kick, having read and loved Cranford and North and South and now Wives and Daughters. I have a couple others on my Treo (thank you, manybooks.net) but I think The Vicar of Wakefield might be up next. I have some actual paper books waiting to be read and reviewed on AustenBlog as well.
...and the Babboo Bush is in bloom!
Book: Show us a book that made you laugh out loud.

I just received this set of Jane Austen's novels yesterday. The Telegraph in the UK was giving them away with vouchers from their newspaper, and my friend Kathleen in London collected them all for me! They are the Everyman editions, so quite good, with scholarly introductions and everything, and new covers by six different artists. I like the cover of NA, which incorporates the final line of the novel: "I leave it to be settled, by whomsoever it may concern, whether the tendency of this work be altogether to recommend parental tyranny, or reward filial disobedience."
All of Jane Austen's novels are funny, but I think Northanger Abbey is her funniest.
Seen on the train, made me laugh.
I should have posted this here last week...I received an advance copy of the book, and it is as beautiful as I had hoped.
