You might think that spending a year spent celebrating Jane Austen would “cure” a girl. If you did, I’m sorry to say: you’re wrong. At this point, I’ve already logged 5 Austenesque reads for the year, and there are many still on my TBR. And so, we bring back the reading celebration that is Summer of Jane.
I’m not making any changes to the plan: reading levels are posted below, and if you’d like to participate you can make blog or social media posts, or even just comment on posts. The idea is to have fun and indulge in some focused Jane Austen reading.
My personal TBR for the Summer, which is extremely over-ambitious, includes:
- Emma | Jane Austen {I failed to reread this one last year!}
- Murder at Donwell Abbey | Vanessa Kelly {Probably also a reread of Murder in Highbury}
- Sense & Suitability | Pepper Basham
- The Heart of Bennet Hollow | Joanne Bischof Dewitt
- Sanditon | Jane Austen & Kate Riordan
- Pride and Prejudice in Space | Alexis Lampley
- Pride, Prejudice and Peril | Katie Oliver
I also want to catch up on some Austenesque viewing {or rewatching in some cases}. As far as posting goes, I think this year will include a mid-point check in addition to the Upcoming Releases and Wrap-Up posts from years past. If I do manage watching as well, we may do a separate post for the adaptations. So much Jane potential for the Summer! Yay!
Will you be indulging in a Summer of Jane this year?
What is your favorite Austenesque movie/television adaptation?
