Becky's Book Reviews is hosting the Mini-Austen Challenge. This is right up my alley because I am a big Jane Austen fan.
'These "mini-challenges" are not as open-ended as most challenges. But they're not strict either. One would be to read and/or watch at least two Jane Austen novels/movies in 2008. Masterpiece Theatre is showing all 6 movies in the 2008 season. I am going to be aiming for all 6. But if you want to just watch two movies and blog about them, that is fine too.'
I've been re-reading my favorite Austen novel, Pride & Prejudice.
