Possibly dumb question….what is considered to be an “Austenesque” book? I just need clarification, kthx. 🙂
Also, love the last category – the possibilities are freakin’ endless!!
March 4, 2010 at 5:23 am
That would be a sequel, prequel, re-write, etc of any of Jane Austen’s books 🙂

Late to the party, but I’m in. First day of Read-a-Thon, first day of this challenge. I’m starting with The Quiet Gentleman by Georgette Heyer — which will be my “Three Word Title” for 15 points. It’s also what I’m reading for my Georgette Heyer group this month.

Hi:) 10 more points for reading a book about a real person. A Golden Web is about the first female astronomer. Fantastic read (quick and really interesting). My review: http://enchantedbyjosephine.blogspot.com/2010/04/golden-web-book-review-giveaway.html
Thanks!
